New young E30 owner!

[Akiyo]

Today I bought an 1987 325I and joined this forum!

I guess I will start with me... My names Tyler, nice to meet you all, and I'm 18 and I have always loved e30's and now I have a chance to make one mine!

Anyway the stuff you care about:
Just picked up an 97 e30 with 122k miles for $1800
It has ebachi (sp?) lowering springs and some muffler on it with racing seats and a black interior. It was originally silver but a previous owner painted it metallic blue.

In the future:
Wheels/suspension (Stanced)
Bolt-on mods
Straightening out all the small odds and ends
After a while probably an engine swap or turbo
Annnnd what ever else I happen to find along the way.

I saw that car about a month ago for sale was interested but didn't buy it, welcome to the forums. Also were you at euroharvest? I remember seeing that car there for about 30 minutes. Don't forget to check out the mountain section it's mostly Coloradans

Before anything, timing belt, tensioner, water pump and whatever else maintenance needs to get done. Everything else can come later

[Optimator]

If I were you, I'd put off critical maintenance items such as timing belt, water pump, and tensioner for other palpable modifications such as BC coilovers or a rusted hood.

Sounds like the best way to go about things :nice:
