    E30 Again!

    So I am finally able to get a BMW again! I bought a 1990 325i Convertible today. Ended up picking up this car today and it needs some work... The previous owner chopped the springs :( So I need to figure out something to fix that. The interior is painted over leather, just the seats, not sure why?? Also it has a funny lag around 3k rpm, probably timing.. Other than that just some basic dents and stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. I attached a picture, I got it for super cheap so I am not complaining. Luckily it runs great! It will be a definite work in progress and should be fun!

      You should have factored a new camera into the purchase price.

          Better adjust the distributor a 1/4 turn.

              I would tun it a half, and then back an 1/8. seens to work the best for me.
              car looks nice BTW.

                          Ha ha the oil pan is taking a beating and I get tire rub on the front. It would be different if it were stiff, but someone cut the coils. I like my cars low, but the pot holes out here in LA are killers..

                                          Is there a write up on adjusting the distributor? Been almost 10 years since my last e30, so I feel like a noob again and I can't fine one on the forums..

                                                      Nice. I had my eye on that craigslist ad for awhile.
