New toy!!

[GunMetalGrey]

Today I picked up (kind of, it was dropped off) an 89 325is, the engine ate one of the plugs and lost compression so she is getting a new motor this weekend, I am just going to swap in a new m20 for convenience and because I got one for 200. I tried to get it running long enough to get it in my back garage, but it didn't even make it 30 feet. Car is Cinnabar red (is that an uncommon color? Not much shows up for cinnabar if you search it) and is an auto, which I am not a fan of, but I will 5 speed swap it next summer. Came with a ton of original manuals and stuff, even the info of the guy who first bought it back in 87'. Anyone know what steering wheel is on it? Looks very original and I have never seen it before.
Pics!







My e30's :D

zinno looks so beast.

[GunMetalGrey]

what kind of steering wheel is that?

[schtozo]

That steering wheel is very ugly! You should get rid of it asap and ship it to me. Congrats on the car looks good.

I have no idea, another reason I put that picture up. It looks like it was original to the car. It is definitely an oem wheel though

what kind of steering wheel is that?

Nardi?

[GunMetalGrey]

Think the back of the wheel will have any indication marks?

[LivingLegend06]

How much did you pick it up for? Also, is the interior red/black two tone? looks kind of ricey.

Looks a lot like a Racing Dynamics

[GunMetalGrey]

Yeah red and black are just covers, they were just used to cover up the original leather so it would stay in good shape. I will probably just get black covers, or dye the seats black. Who knows at this point.
