Hey everyone, my name is Josh.One day while on break at work. I saw a late 325is at a dealership across the street from my restaurant and went over to inspect/ possibly buy it. Turns out it was the dealership owner's son. Really cool kid ( forget your name sorry) but he told me to come here. (your car is sick btw.) I've been bumping into e30 owners everywhere lately so I thought I would join up.
This is my first e30, but definitely not my first car.
After performing usual maintenance on my gf's 97 328i ( and mashing everywhere in it) I was bitten by the bmw bug. I sold my v6 swapped mr2 ( lots of hard work, fun and I do miss it) and picked up a 92 325is. lots of fun but it was no e30. Browsing craigslist I saw an ad for an e30 and went to check it out. An elderly lady bought it new in 1987 and has been dd'ing it until she bought a new z4.Her nephew wanted my e36 so we traded and they gave me cash. I picked it up with 205,xxx miles. I've done all my maintenance and now i'm on to the fun stuff.
The original sheepskin seat covers she had put on before leaving the dealership were faded to blue from black. yuck.
I removed my fogs (one was cracked anyway), installed some us ellipsoids from a cool guy I met local, tucked my bumpers and buffed it out.
I also threw on an acs e brake handle my gf's brother had lying about from back in his glory days haha.
Now i've got everything from an ix (yes its for sale on Craigslist). I was gonna do the bumper swap but an opportunity to buy a 325es for 500 bucks came up. ( getting that tomorrow.) Has anybody done the es front valance, ix sides and a plastic rear? (i've also searched a lot but so much crap comes up i havent found that combo yet).
Next things I need are an i exhaust ( mine rattles inside)
more low
rims
short shifter ( mine is sloppy)
hope you guys like what i've got going.
