    1990 Alpine 325i dreamin'

    Bought this baby on New Years eve, after selling a 1985 318i and buying a Protege5, I couldn't live without a BMW and after a year of me mopping around, I found this one and jumped, having just missed a 325is on Christmas eve...

    -4 door 1990 325i alpinweiss.
    -grey fabric comfort interior with rear headrests.
    -210,000kms
    -5 spd
    -came tinted and with a sony head unit w/ipod in glovebox and 4 energy speakers

    I have installed grey leather interior, 15" weaves, euro clock, keyless entry, sport steering wheel.
    Have H&R sports, just need some billys now to get the car the low it needs.

    Two on many little things I've done, these being my favourites.

    Sport steering wheel, I like it much better than the 4 spoke.

      Very nice, definitely agree that wheel is way better than the 4 spoke.

        No, they are off of a euro E30. Are you sure you installed drop springs? It looks higher than stock.

            Thanks guys, it's nothing crazy, trying to go really stock, but I want it to be CLEAN.

            I have the drop springs, but they are not installed, saving for shocks first.

            I think it just looks higher than stock cause the tires are smaller.

            Wheels are TSW 15" weaves 20 offset.

              Looking good, dude! The steering wheel makes a huge difference for sure along with the euro clock. After lowering it, I'd just maintain and drive it (and possibly remove the PO's tint). Everything else looks perfect otherwise for something that's intended to be relatively stock.

                  Em...i was under the impression that "euroweaves" had an offset of 24 and were not made by TSW. I thought the stamping was either BMW or BBS....oem.

                    Thanks for the semantics lesson, to appease you, I have edited to say weaves, or has BBS also trademarked "weaves"?

                        Its all good Travis. We all thank you for your correction and stating the facts. As far as I know "weaves" is a general term such as ""euroweaves"...which was coined here in NA...since you asked. ;)

                          That's a great looking car. I would almost leave the ride height as is..

                            Wow, for some reason it just looks tits as is; would change a thing except maybe bring the front down a tad.

                            Nice score!
