[supermansocks95]

could.

Or i could use the forum for its intended purpose and obtain information from people with sources such as johnny above me. Thanks though.

r3v facebook is the best source for answers to your questions.

EDIT: gf pics?

you need 2jz swap e30 or m50 turbo swap e30
:D

Did you end up buying the car?

Understood! I reckon the 325e would be a decent "ice breaker" to the world of BMWs! I can post pics of the 325e here to get your guys' opinion if that's cool! Speedo, MPG guage and fuel gauge does not work. Windows don't work. 120,000 miles. Asking price of $2,500. Interior is clean and exterior could use paint.

I hear you Jeff. I know my seat won’t last long and to make it worse I don’t think a seat cover would prolong its life. My only hope is that some day when I need new fabric I can find something that looks ok and has the nice texture that keeps me from sliding around.

get an E36 engine in there and be done with it...

Welcome to R3Vlimited Acboni13,
From the perspective of a 325e owner, 325e's are a lot of fun, but not all too fast. If you're looking for a fast car I would at least hold out for an 325i as they have some more horsepower(I would look up basic specs of an e30 just to get an idea of the horsepower and torque figures of both the 325e and 325i). However, 325e's are fun to drive in a manual; ripping around town is really fun even though it isn't too fast, and the five speed e30's come with are a great joy to drive. 325e's get pretty good gas mileage too, most people saying they get around mid 20's or so; which makes for a great daily driver. E30's are pretty reliable too, I have only had a few small issues that needed fixing since I've owned the car.

I'm not too well versed with aftermarket parts and attainable power, but there is a huge following for e30's with a lot of forums and parts to follow, so parts, and information are pretty easy to find. Also I wouldn't get an E30 for 350-400 HP; it's definitely possible, but it's going to take a couple of mods to get it there.

Overall, I'd take some time to look into a few more reviews of 325e cars. They are really fun, but for what you're looking for I'd at least go for 325i since I believe it's easy to make power with those, and they are overall faster. Good luck in your search!

Blue houndstooth.

It açtually looks like check not houndstooth. Either way if it's that's clean it's valuable (having just bought 4yds of the last known blue check OE fabric)

Typical noob...doesn't know that he has to post pics of his girl before R3v will openly give him information.

no kidding.... when will the noobs learn the basics?
want answers?? let's see the girl.

Mine is the same blue color cloth but my seat surfaces aren’t houndstooth, stripe pattern and I like it very much.

The vertical striped seats didn't come in until about '89 from what I have seen, at least in the US. They are also a substantially less hard wearing fabric as they separate at the vertical weave, so houndstooth all the way, even if it can lose definition as it wears.

I'm not aware of a stock interior like that but it looks great despite being comfort seats. If the body is solid, 5spd and runs well I'd say it was a no brainer particularly if you are in an area where are none to be had.

If the body is straight with minimal rust, and it runs, drives then that's a good deal for a low mileage car.

I forgot about that rule.

Pics and we'll help OP.
