    Introduction to me and my 89 325i

    Hey guys I heard about the forum from a E36 friend of mine. I just recently picked up a e30 and thought I would join.

    My love for BMWs started back in 09 when i picked up my first one. It was a 93 325is. It ended up needing all of the typical BMW stuff (bushings, cooling system, plastic clips) which I slowly replaced. It was an absoultly fantastic car and really got me hooked.

    schwartz black
    m3 LUX interior
    e90 wheels
    5200 watt system
    UUC bushings
    5-spd



    That car made me want a M3 so I began my search. 5 months later I found Ava. She was a totally unmolested 1995 M3 in the color of my dreams! She had more miles that I wanted but it was a clean cali car so i jumped on it! I am getting ready to do the suspension on this car. coils, plates, wheels, and bushings will be in order.

    Although the M3 is an absolutely stunning car it never quite filled up a space in my heart that the 325 left.
    That is why I am here today presenting Dory.
    I picked up dory at the car dealership that I work at up here in portland. I got a great deal and she is clean enough for me.

    I hope this gives you an idea of who i am and where I am coming from. Unfortunately I am lost when it comes to e30s so I may be asking noob questions here and there. As with any forum I will use the search button as best as possible.
    Feel free to post and questions or comments.

            Yes it is dove. I actually plan on getting the seats and door inserts done in Mulberry. It is a darkish gray.

            Yes I know it looks like a 4x4. Ava gets priorities in the suspension department.

            The entire car was repainted at some point. Single stage cheap job but it works out and isn't absolutely HORRIBLE. For what I paid I can't complain. :D

              Paint looks great in the pictures. All you need now is a Timing belt/Water pump change and a suspension refresh.

                I know the timing belt/water pump were done at some point but I don't know when. I need to try to backtrack and find the previous owners!

                  Better do the belt again, just to be safe. I hope to see you joining the PNW subforum and attending some meets in the future :)
