    Four Doors of Gletscherblau

    I have wanted an E30 after my friend (325ix) got his '88 325iX. After a long time, I was finally in a position to find one. I bought this car off of Bishop, real cool guy, just over a week ago and I have been loving it ever since. It is a 1990 Gletscherblau 325i.

    It's not perfect but I never expected it to be, nor did I really want it to be. It is sitting on Ground Control coil overs, which is a huge step forward that I wasn't expecting to start off with. It also has a Mark D chip, which I believe is the 91 octane one that runs on the stock 14lb injectors. And from what my friend has told me, it pulls a lot smoother and stronger than his...but not for long...

    Anyways, onto the pics...all I have is a pos point-n-shoot and it was getting to be dusk...

    Fuck Colorado and they're front license plate laws...









    Yes, that is, in fact, a call box I installed on the roof.



    I need a skid plate so I can drive without as much worry...

      Love me a good sedan. Looks good! I always wanted a glacierblau sedan with an s52 swap on h&r race. Ultimate sleeper in my book. ;)

        Car looks great love that color. No offense, but thats not really all that low. I mean, its lowered, but I wouldnt consider it "worry about my oil pan" low.

        Car looks great though, great color and I love me some four doors!

          Definitely, I'm more in for the break in drive than the install ;)

          I wasn't sure, but the curb is shaved down so I was good. I saw a kid in an E28 528e but he didn't notice :(

            It is the angle of the picture. It is actually quite low.

              Yeah, bad pic on my part. But for someone who is used to driving a 3/4 ton pick up and never having driven a lowered car...I'm a little cautious...

                I have about a foot of clearance :(

                You are much, much closer than that.

                    Thanks man. I'm thinking of, maybe, painting them white until I can afford some enkei 92's or 16x8 Style 5's.

                      That's what I was going to say. Im lower than that and i'm barely in oil pan danger.

                      Love the color. Looks great!

                        It really is the angle of the oil pan. The car is quite low.

                          I think the rolled fenders have something to do with it too. Perhaps a pic next to your monster truck would do it justice?
