    Back in the Sport seated saddle

    So I listed my 1990 325i that I loved for sale with the sole reason to by Josh's m30 swapped vert (beautiful car at a great price so someone NEEDS to buy it soon) but with the cost of airfare out to CO from NJ and the gas and hotel expenses coming back I was a decent amount over my budget. PLUS, after just driving X-country twice, I really was NOT looking forward to the idea of doing it again! Unfortunately by this point I had already received 2 full price offers for my car and it was basically sold...so I immediately searched for replacement.

    After many long nights on the internet and quite a few visits to many dissapointing e30 verts, I came across this one...
    1992 325 ic
    75k OG miles
    good carfax
    mostly stock with suspension upgrades
    BBS RS in like new condition
    new top
    beautiful paint
    meticulously maintained
    etc.
    Went to see it in person and it lokoed better than the pics. I knew going into it that apparently it had a "slow leak from the oil return" and the headgasket would likely need replacing soon, and the brake lining light was on and I'd need to address a few other issues. Although there were a few things that weren't up to my expectations when I arrived, I also found out that the automatic top works perfectly, and it has keyless entry, and everything else actually WORKS...so it was obvious I had to make it mine...







    Although I already love this car and will love it even more as I make it my own, I truly do miss my coupe and am sad that I sold it. More to come...

          First act of business, do away with those taillights. Rest of the car looks stellar!

                I have those same nasty-ass ebay tails on my car due to a parking lot collision.

                I rewired them to provide 2 "parking" lights per side and 2 brake lights per side.

                    Clean vert! Those tails actually don't look too bad on there, I've seen worse for sure.

                        Clean vert. Just keep the tails. Same ol' ol' gets boring.
