I've been a lurker here for awhile but have recently picked up an E30 so I guess that makes me official.
My first BMW was a brand new 1976 2002. And yeah, you're right ... that makes me an Olde Phart. In the time since I've owned an E21 323i, an E12 528i, a couple of E28s (533i and 535i), an E36 M3, and my current ride - a 2004 ZHP.
I've loved them all but I've decided that what I want right now is Simplicity. Much as I love the ZHP - and it is one of my favorites - I'd rather have something that is smaller and lighter, as well as easier and cheaper to maintain.
Starting with a '90 325iA I'll be doing a 5-speed swap along with a new H&R/Bilstein Sport setup, I'm interested in keeping my E30 "mostly" stock but with a few performance upgrades. It'll be my DD. Here's snap that qualifies as a Before pic. More as the project continues ....
Also here's pic of my first and most recent BMWs
