Little brother just got a e30.

[Jordan]

We went and looked at a 85 325e today. He has decided to get it. He is 15 and working with his learners permit right now so he has plenty of time to get it repaired with my help.

142k on the engine, needs some minor repairs, and a good cleaning inside, out, and everywhere in between.

$850, should be down at my house this coming weekend.

Nice, I see it's got the 7k tach swapped in as well :)

not bad for $850...but would i drive a eta.....um no. Great for your bro though

[Jordan]

Yeah. The steering wheel will be swapped for the stock one. Its some cheapo small Grant steering wheel and it blocks the instruments. The 7k tach needs to be replaced with a Eta one, or at least coding plugs swapped. It does not read accurately.

For a Eta it drives fairly well, I was able to pull till redline and chirp into 2nd. Its got more then enough power for a first time driver.

Good first car, what are his plans for it? Mod it, or is it just going to be means of transportation?

Repair the items that need it, give it a good cleaning, then drive it for awhile. The mod possibilities are all but endless for him with me around to help him carry them out.

Definately a viable option.

Funny thing is this Eta is technically faster then your grey E30 right now isnt it?

No, I don't believe so.

[Jordan]

My car runs and drives just fine now.

[krisco]

Burned!

Now your mom needs to get one when you guys sell the ///M3.

No, I don't believe so.

I guess there is IN and then there is OUT of the R3V community. Maybe the "inside" guys ought to wear some special jackets...... "Member's Only" was such the style in the day......

p.s. I don't blame Avi for not being able to keep up with Jordan's progress.....he's busy with his own forum family. And nice attempt to jest with Jordan......up until a week ago, his joke would have been true and comical. Nice try Avi. :)

The eta is actually Tan on Tan. Its just bad lighting.
