    New here with an 87 325is

    Hey guy, bought the car about 2 months ago and have been loving it ever since. Ive been swamped with work recently and hadnt had the chance until now to show some pictures. Just recently installed a 750il Master, F&R brembo rotors, Mintex Extreme pads and SS lines and new e-brake shoes. (pita). Also have a 1.9l stalk and yes... ebay headlights, original headlights were cracked and at the time plain and simple I needed headlights to see... and, theyre really not that bad.

    Comming from the Audi world with this:





    Ive now, in very short ownership have realized that ive done things all wrong form the beginning. RWD is 10 fold better then AWD and while choosing a new platform the much more "raw" E30 was the best option.

    So now I have an old beat up e30 that needs work... a lot of it...






    Ive been looking at the forums for quite sometime and am glad to be a part of this great source of info for a great breed of car.
    Plans for the immediate future are all new polly bushings - M3 and otherwise, sway bars and strut bars F&R and I am debating between Ground Control Coilovers or IE3s/H&R Race with Billie sports.

    Let me know what you guys think!
