    Joined the E30 family!

    I finally broke down and bought an E30. I have wanted one for a while now and was able to find one at the right price... It is a 1989 325i, though not perfect it was perfect for me. I own a BMW tuner shop in Rancho Cordova, near Sacramento, so I am not worried about anything that needs replacing. As a matter of fact I have already ordered a few goodies to get me going. This car will perform dual duties as daily driver and track car. My S/C'd 330ci will be relegated to shows and meets to showcase our products and capabilities. The car has the TMS sport suspension package and stock sways. I installed a set of SSR wheels and 205/50r16 Goodyear F1's....

          Lovin' that ride. I'm on E46fanatics as well. But I recently sold my E46. :( I took your advice about the tint shop you had your 330 done at. The dude did a superb job on my E30. 8) I've been meaning to come by and check out your shop. Do you plan on having any meets there in the near future? Kind of a grand opening if you will. :) Oh yeah. I hope you're gonna put an LSD and chip in that car. It will really wake it up. But I'm sure you knew that. :twisted:

                Thanks for all the positive feedback... for now I am concentrating on performance mods...in Sacramento tints are a necessity though!

                ABE: I am going to have a grand opening meet with door prizes etc probably late August or early September. The construciton of the shop is going really slowly.. Of course you're welcome to come by anytime!

                            Walter, that's a really sweet looking ride, I can't wait to see it in person. I'm also looking forward to seeing your shop up and running as I'm about 5 minutes away from where you guys are located (Zinfandel & International).

                            Sacramento has a pretty good group of E30 owners, a number of which are active with baye30.net. Walter, Abe and Sparticus, the Sacramento Chapter BMWCCA is holding its monthly meeting this Thursday, 6pm @ Coco's (across from Arden Fair Mall). You folks should try to make it.

                              I'll really try and make it. I've been so busy with my newborn daughter. I have'nt been able to get anything done, let alone spare time to do something I want. I just got my M30 AFM, 19# injectors, and US ellips. Like this stuff is ever gonna get put on. But man do I love being a Daddy. :D
