raymondlee's 85 E

[raymondlee]

hello everybody i am new to bmw's.I am a vw guy at heart but recently got a job euro parts place. WE deal more with bmw's than anything so i figure it would make my job easier if i had one of my own. Anyway i came across this unmolested 325e. Drives like a dream.

the day i bought it.







before i can get my hands on some wheels i plan to run my old jetta 5 stars.




i said i wasnt going to mod this car but we will see how long that last.

i am itching for gold rims.

Welcome to r3v...

'84 or '85?

Saying that you aren't going to mod it does in fact mean that you are going to spend inordinate amount of time and money modding...

Nice find. Looks to be well taken care of.

85. thanks everybody. the non mod zone ended today.lol

Random parts just started falling off the car.

ac condenser & compressor and lines
ps pump and reservior.
windshield washing fluid reservoir.

dont think ill be replacing these components.lol

i think i will stick to the free and cheap mods for now, like the ones listed above and painting the grille black.

the first wash.






deleted the ac and pwersteering





tucked rear bumper





The el cheapo drill bit dulled out on me so i couldnt finish the front. Next i took the front driving board off to get better leverage to do the drilling and toook a step back and look at the front of the car with out it. I like the look of the front with out the front drving board. I have been searching for pics to see if anyone has dont the same thing and finished the front off somehow. if anyone has any idea or linbks let me know.



Also, my car has the navy blue interior. I hated it at first. I guess it was clashing with my usual white black/red accent theme. instead of fighting the blue i decided to run with it. Sky will be my accent color.

With ac and ps delete i started on cleaning up the bay.






i have the pass side 90% done.

I'm liking the white wall tires, If it was lower it would look a hell of alot better with those white-walls.

"low" is coming soon to a theater near you.lol

[raymondlee]

i am still pondering about the front end
