Hey!
I registered for R3VLimited when I was only a young man of 20 years, with my first car and first E30, a 1985 318i. I didn't leave much of a footprint then, but I'm back to celebrate, and for a vital reason: I've got a beautiful 1989 325i cabrio I need your help to preserve! It's incumbent on me to fix it up and keep it in good shape. I had limited resources when I was younger, and I'm grateful to have a second chance. 🤞
It's Lachssilber with a blue top (name?) and the 5-speed Getrag 260. I never imagined buying a convertible until this popped up, but combine it with the M20 & manual and I couldn't turn it down. I've waited 15 years to drive an E30 again. With their value & desirability, I wasn't sure I'd be able to get one. I had my first E30 before they were really popular or expensive.
This one is incredibly clean, though well-used. It has well over 180,000 miles, with a broken odometer (typical!). I'm using the computer & a notebook to track accumulated miles. With an open top and so many miles, it's a BMW made of jelly. 🫠 I already plan to install braces above & below the front end!
I'm gonna need some time to lurk the forum and see what's what, but I wanted to begin this thread & drop a message that I am a real human and that I do, in fact, drive an E30. Again! 🥳
My favorite color is dark blue; what are the odds...
The 325i's interior was recently redone! It's 90% incredible, excepting a few worn or broken things.
My first E30, a 1985 318i 5MT, almost 20 years ago. I was forced to sell it for too little funds and too much rust.
