UPDATE PAGE 2

sup sup everyone!!!

well i bought my 86 325e last march as a commuter car and eversince i bought my e30 i barely drive my e90 only because its a lot of fun to drive but anyways here is what the car came with when i bought it;

1986 325e Automatic:(
custom blue
m3 fronts (mismatched) seats and m3 rear seats
17" mille miglia cello on 205 40r yokohama
US ellipsoids
Unknown brand exhaust ( it sounds pretty good IMO)
Pioneer head unit with pioneer 6x9 in the rears
uknown tweeters and front speakers
two amps; 1400w 2channel crunch amp & a pioneer 700w monochannel amp(just found out the pioneer amp is blown)
he gave me a chilton manual lol
cone airfilter

All that for the grand total of $1800 and 10 random DVDs lol
Car has noooo leaks whatsoever no problems at all it was the deal of the century hahah


Small things ive done so far;
replace dead interior bulbs - DONE
LED rear plate bulbs - DONE
Suspension - Bought Bilstein HDs with Eibach springs just needs install
Bought some shadow grilles and tweeter pods

My plans;
DDM 55w 6k HIDs
Smoked HELLA conversion
Flat black or AW paintjob
new tires. i want a stretched look so im thinking 195 40r but idk if thats gonna give me what i want
Shadowlines
Dark tint all around
New carpet
New Dash
Smaller steering wheel
Tuck the front bumper only b/c if i tuck the rear the exhaust would stick out and look funky to me
Valance idk which one

Plans if i have the funds;
Engine swap along with a 5speed tranny

Here are some pics i took;

looks very nice. i like the color...

remove the diving boards and install some euro bumpers. that will change a lot of the look. :)

I want to but the DBs are growing on me lol. but euro bumpers definitely a possibility.

[joonsup]

replace the dbs. that car has a lot of potential. congrats!

[KillaCams]

Nice color, some euro bumpers would really make that car

[325ix]

Euros defintely. I like the color. The wheels will look good with a drop. Interior pics?

can't say i'm a fan of plastic dumper swaps on early models; unless you weld on a rear valence. it just looks awkward imo

[ohthejosh]

im planning to do the weld mod. im just not in a big hurry. its a dd that takes a beating.

[MOBBIN4DEEP]

tranny swap asap along with paint

[ohthejosh]

my plans as funds are available are;

1. bc racing coils
2. rear valance (and mounting the rear bumper)
3. paint (including trim, grills, tails, etc.)
4. m50/s50/s52 + tranny

then ill tackle the interior =D

[5Toes]

Nicer body than mine! Good deal Id say!

[lambo]

It's like a patriotic e30!

[pilotskillse30]
