13th BMW but 1st E30!

Hehe that definitely looks like a teachers old car. I think most teacher drive Bronzit colored car :p

[E30YrsOld]

Youre going to have fun with the E30, hard not to. Hit all the general maintenance things to get the car properly dialed in and then follow through with your suspension plans. Swap in an LSD and maybe a short shifter with new bushings and youll love it.

Good luck,

Jon

Very clean. It is boring tho. With a little work it'll look great

Haha, welcome to r3v dude. We're accumulating even more bronzits in SB... if you ever need a hand with anything let me know.

I will also need help on mods for these things, I've always been an E36 person and really don't know much about the E30....I've owned many BMW's and am not an elitist per-say but I am very much an OEM + person. I don't like the stupid stance or all blacked out shit....I wouldn't mind smoking the signals on the bumper or something but I prefer amber, hell I went out of my way to put ambers on my E46 M3....

It's definitely boring, I really didn't want bronzit and this is my FIRST 4-door 3 series I have ever owned....This was in such good condition and for the price I just had to get it. The thing that sucks was I just had a full set of HELLA smilies for my E34 and sold them like a month ago because I didn't want to put them in the E34 :( If I were to change the interior I would just get recaro's or something, I hate the sport E30 interiors.

How much are US Ellipsoids usually? I paid $110 shipped for my Hella's which was a good deal IMO.

Your car is boring as hell, man...bone stock '90 4 door 325i...I mean, there are thousands of these things! You are in SB, right? I bet you have seen 10,000 of these in this color alone. I think you might be surprised how little effort it takes to make a nice car out of what you have there.

Yours looks to be a pretty clean example, so I would say great score!

You said you always seem to end up with a tan interior. Dude, swap that interior to black! This, my man, is the beauty of E30s. They are a canvas, and R3V is your palette...all you need are a few wrenches to use as a brush.

I would suggest you swap the headlights out ASAP. 35W HIDs in US spec ellipsoid housings are a terrific compromise in lighting: great looks, great pattern and cost effective.

Change around a few pieces, find a flawless hood and fender (remember that 10,000? 1/3rd of them are in a junkyard somewhere) and stay on top of the maintenance.

GL and welcome to R3V.

Found out last night it has bilsteins, a friend and I were checking it out and noticed yellow and blue struts :D

My plan so far is: IS lip, shadowline trim, H&R Race (or other, tell me if I should get a different brand) and wheels. This is just going to be my fun little weekend/auto-x/track car. Nothing to crazy, and I think I might just keep my wagon as a DD/photo equipment hauler.
