    it's an addiction....

    So yesterday, my 88 325is got a friend. I picked up a running, driving. slightly in need of work 87 325is in Zinno. I was able to get it for $700 and I am already in love despite the problems.... I'm starting a collection now :D It came with a trunk full of parts and an awesome folding warning triangle :)

    Car looks really clean, but are those fog light brackets or Mickey Mouse ears hanging off the license plate frame?

        Congrats!

        I went through 3 e30's in 2 months. And those where the first I had ever owned. I can agree with the addiction part.

            They're supposed to be Hella fog lights so the car be rally-y. The lights are kinda missing and there's only one cover that's kinda broken so I took it off. I'm probably going to just take them off unless I can find the proper lights and not broken mounts....

                Yeah, that's a good point. It's like a late model-style early model bumper. Trippy.

                  It was painted to match the car, still sticks out like a diving board, but at least isn't chrome...

                    Oh! And it's a 5 speed, unlike the 88, so I have been having fun chirping the tires trying to not stall and stuff like that. It'll take some practice, but I got this :D

                        Fixed, which somehow makes it better? I dunno, I like mine :)

                          The PO of the 88 tucked it, albeit unevenly, and painted it black. I have two plastic bumpers I need to get from him still that couldn't fit in the car according to him....

                            Awesome score, Zinno is really great with black wheels.
