I need to update my status on this thread since I have a different E30 in my possession now. The current car is a '91 325i 2-door/5-speed jobber with 201+K miles on it, and it needs the following....

steering rack
driveshaft
engine/tranny mounts
guibo
center support bushing
fix rear brakes (parking brake sticks sometimes)
tires
timing belt & tensioner
accessory belts
water pump
flush cooling system
power antenna
A/C recharge (I don't think it leaks)
clutch fan
passenger side high beam
driving lights
reverse light switch
rear suspension bushings (subframe, trailing arms)
front brake ducts
tie rod ends
flush brake fluid


There's probably some other things I'm overlooking - but that's the short list.

151,200 miles on my 1986 325es.

Problems:
- needs a valve adjustment
- needs a new CSB
- needs new trailing arm bushings
- needs new subframe bushings
- needs to have the bellhouse guibo cover removed
- passenger-side front brake pad is loose
- needs new oil pan gasket and bolt

nice to haves:
- new audio system
- E36 window switches
- Z3 antenna
- 5-lug swap
- new brakes
- hardware V1 radar detector
- 35% tint all around, 60% tint front windshield

fixes since making this post:
- fixed the biggest coolant leak. I need to tighten the coolant drain bolt on the bottom of the radiator and this should be completely gone a pulley gashed a hose, so I duct taped it to hell. Leakage fixed
- installed new hoses (that were actually too small) and t-nozzle for windshield wiper system. Need to clean the windshield fluid tank and install it back into the engine bay, and this is done
