    New to forum & new e30

    I bought this 1985 325e for $500 delivered. It was not running when I purchased it, but I got it fired up today. The power sunroof and windows work fine, it has some rust, but not bad (worst, by far, is the passenger rear fender). 5 speed car, unknown miles. I will be swapping in an "i" head over the summer and adding boost :D



    (wire hanging out of the trunk is for a battery charger)

    The car had a bad main relay. I'm off to order a new one tonight along with a new throttle body boot. The seller told me it also needs a new carrier bearing, so I'll get that taken care of as well. The interior is rough, but I plan on making this a part time track car, so it's not a big deal as I'll probably rip a lot of it out. We'll see.

            Yup, the one in Parkville.

            I don't think I can complain for the price. It came with the chilton's manual, a CD player (no speakers though), the factory HU, dash cover, and some other odds and ends. It also seems like the battery will hold a charge, which surprised the hell out of me.

                  Isn't that normal ride height? It might have drop springs, I don't really know. The interior used to light up blue & the windshield washer nozzles apparently light up. The whole car has been torn apart so anything could have happened. As for the grill, I have no idea. It looks like it melted ???
