    1989 325is in Pasadena

    I originally bought this car as a commuter in 2008 and discovered R3v when I was looking for a mechanic, but never joined until now.

    The car's stock, except for the radio, wheels and M3 springs. At 215K, the car still feels peppy, but too bad it's an auto (I'm hoping the swap is next)

    From what I could tell, the front clip has been painted, but it runs straight.

    sorry for the cellphone pics.

    Looks solid. Do the 5 speed swap, go lower, and new wheels (IMO) then you'll have a rad e30.

    Goin to bfest this Sunday?

      Thanks

      Unfortunatly I can't go any lower due to a high ramp style driveway at my house.

      As for the wheels, they grew on me, plus no spacers is a plus.

      I'll be there on Sunday, it's only 3 minutes from my house.

        I agree on the wheels. You dont need spacers on wheels that fit properly.

        No spacers ;)

                  Thanks guys. The weaves were crazy curb rashed and the tires were cracked from sitting too long. I got the wheels with almost new tires from one of peerless's customers for a good price, so I went for it. They're et25 and I don't my sporting them.

                  As for the drop, this is as low as I can go because of the incline on my driveway, I'll take a picture of it sooon. Plus I can't park on the street because pasadena doesn't issue permits unless you can prove there's no space in my driveway.

                  Downernsp, thanks! I live by mountain and fair oaks. We've been here since early 08 and I haven't seen many e30s here yet, except a red one at the super king market on orange grove and los robles.

                          downernsp, It's good to here you got got back on track. Not a lot of people take that road to improving their lifestyle.

                          I grew up in Highland Park, so I know about gangs. So far, I'm going on three years since the wife and I bought the house and I tell you, I do NOT miss the tagging one bit.
                          We had a storage bin out here for just a little over two weeks and no tagging.


                          Freeride53, thanks. I noticed the Peugeot on your avatar, do you have one? A co-worker of mine has a clean 505stx. It looks like he just drove it out the dealership.

                          CleanAzzE30z, thanks and your SN suits your M3 just well, damn that's a nice ride.

                            Love the stance, and everything else you've done to it. Really sharp.
