***Pics of your 1st ever E30***

[KI4UJO]

My dad bought this in 1994 to dd. He drove it until 2000. It sat unused for 10yrs. When I got it, it looked like this





I did an interior refresh, painted it (the failed clear is another story), suspension refresh, built an audio system from the best of other assorted BMW audio systems, and DD'd it with the M10... until it started burning oil. At this point, I pulled the M10, painted the bay, installed coilovers, and replaced the M10 with a NV M50 from a totaled e36.

These are the most recent photos, I can take some more if anyone wants to see it with a hood and exhaust (I took these after driving it out of the shop for the first time). I don't ever intend to sell it.







I have raised the coilovers up in the front slightly to help with oilpan clearance since this photo.

Woah, "enigmaticdream" early 2011 you did a hovercraft conversion nice.

It was fun until you tried to take a turn.

In my sig. Only German car I've ever owned, had it 5 months now, still trying to get it to run right.

[enigmaticdream]

Bought December 12th of 2009 as a DDer to save miles on my e46 M3 at the time. Still own it with zero intent to sell. Too much sweat and blood into the car.

Day after I bought the car


Early 2011


Mid 2013.

I did something stupid once and bought this. While in hindsight I never should have bought it, putting it back together has taught me everything I know about E30s and cars in general.

1991 325i. 5sp. Cost me $500. Did a intensive tune up, TB, WP, cap, rotor, plugs, all filters. 330k when I sold it to buy my first 'vert.

Regret regret regret.

I'm still driving my first e30, we've had it since March 26, 1987.

I did buy an '88 Alpine 325is in 1993, sold it Jan 1996.

This was my first car when I was 15, back in 2004. Sold it in 2007, bought it back in 2009, then resold it to the guy that was all over the net with his vintage BMW hoard in CT

First got it



When I sold it

[audiquattrot]

Audi, what year did you pick it up?

I picked it up 2007-08-ish. Ironically enough I was with my buddy when he bought that exact car in 2003. Told him the day he got it, to sell it to me when he was done w it. He did just that.

Audi, what year did you pick it up? Very clean.

I'll play this game.

My first e30, my dad bought it in 1994 and handed it down to my sister and then me. I had it for ~10 years and then ended up in a wreck. It was hard to say goodbye to a family friend.
