My new car, '84 Eta

[forkvoid]

Just got this last night from a local seller. I know he's a member here, but I don't identify him unless he wants to pipe up.





So far, I'm in love. This is my first BMW and it's just great to drive.

I've got a list of small minor things that need fixing, but as far as I can see, it's mechanically sound.

Please please please find Euro bumpers for it! It looks like a pretty clean car. A nice wax would do it wonders. How many miles?

Odometer is frozen at 184x. Previous owner estimates 200k.

I was reading through the FAQ and it seems euro bumpers won't fit onto pre-88 cars without heavy modification? Did I misunderstand?

I'll be getting a new set of tires and having the local Euro shop go over the car on Monday. It'll get a good cleaning and waxing next week when I have more time.

metal euro bumpers will fit onto 84-88 cars, as long as they dont have plastic bumpers to begin with.

Ooh, just saw them. They do look good. I'll put it on "The List". ;)

[325ix]

Plastics are the ones that require some modification. The ones you want are a direct swap.

Looks just like my eta when I bought it a few years back. With a little love and effort you will have a great looking, great driving car.

I went the Euro-Bump route, and I would never go back...

Mmmm Henna, nice.

Congrats, I just got my first BMW too. I smile each and every time I drive it :)

[TimKninja]

I would kill for a clean 2 door Hennarot . Lots of potential, good find.

[!AjHoWzA!]

Very nice! Looks like you found a keeper dude

just think, you have one of the oldest E30s on this site! cool car. lower it, 15" weaves, and polish the crap out of it, and it will be one of the coolest on here too!


DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON A SET OF TIRES FOR THOSE WHEELS!
