MY 1991 Shwarz 325i

[Crodell6]

Haven't posted a proper intro, just kinda posted randomly in multiple threads.

I picked up a clean (thought it was PERFECT, except drivers seat) 325i back around June for $900 off some guy on Craigslist that said it had a bad Fuel Pump. I rented a U-Haul and towed it to a temporary storing place (my moms). I did a little inspecting, checked the Fuel System and there was pressure from the pump all the way to the rail. Took the valve cover off and saw THIS:




after more inspecting I found THIS!!



So my hell of a deal E30 ended up being a bigger project than I had originally anticipated. I didn't get discouraged though because I was already planning a full tear down and rebuild of the car. I ended up moving about a month after I got her to a more project friendly location, so it started...











My supervisor, he makes sure shit gets done and I stay on track.


I'm currently in the process of shaving the engine bay and will have a full wire tuck.



I'm still undecided on the motor I want to put in there. I'm not really in a rush so time is NOT a factor.

Nice find. What are you thinking engine wise?

If you put that m20 back in it better be a 3.2l with itb's or with a big turbo! Otherwise I say maybe look into an m60/2, pretty cool engines.

I'm not sure, an LS1 WOULD be nice, great power for the cost and the weight isn't intensely greater so I can keep close to a 50/50 ratio

Won't be an M20, lol. Something non Vanos for sure. I've seen the damage and $$$ those systems can cost.
