Hey Everyone! Here's my 1985 318i 5speed

[KassiannATX]

I'm new to the BMW community, while installing my new strut inserts, lowering springs and e90 top hats this forum came in handy many times!

This car came originally from an estate sale (garaged for at least a decade), bought and garaged for another year and finally brought home where it is getting some life put back into it. The odometer says 90k miles, but is broken, but it runs so well I doubt it has many more than that.

This car is in pristine condition, purrs like a kitten and it in great running condition.

I really wish the car was pink but I'm going to keep it classic ;)







I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Thanks!

Just got the car a week ago, still learning things on it.

but it looks too light for DS

It's not a dark color, more like a grey and sometimes looks blue in the light.

I need all the help I can get. Boyfriend works on his MS3 and I get to work on this.
After the oil is done and the brakes are bled, it will be back on the ground and I will take pictures of it.

Just installed bilstein struts and h&r springs, the original struts were just totally blown.
