    Hey guys,
    So I'm registering here now because I finally bought my first E30, a 1989 325i after months and months of research. This whole website helped a lot in answering some of my questions before I bought the car. So thanks for that.

    Anyways, here she is!



    At the moment, I don't have big plans for this one. I'm in high school, and although I have a job, it's still a limited budget. So now my short term goal is snow tires :)

    Overall, I'm extremely happy with the car. The engine is sooo smooth, and it handles wonderfully. Doesn't hurt that there's a set of eibach pro kit springs on there.

      She's a looker. My first e30 was an 89 delphin 4 door. Very nice.

          haha it's in the mail. The car is running really smooth as of now, I hope it lasts. I drove it 6 hours from New York to Vermont without a hiccup other than the left side of the gauge cluster being dark. It turns on when I hit a pothole. I just say that it gives the car some character.

                      Yeah I'll try and get some pics up of the interior tomorrow, might just be cell phone pictures.

                      I paid $3700. which seemed to be a low price for a car with 105k and a complete history of repairs. Plus, most of the car is pretty mint. The paint... I have no idea how it's held up that well, it was garaged, but still. The interior is also pretty clean, there's a couple bits broken, but nothing serious. But yeah, I don't see too many M20B25 E30s up in VT, so I kind of sprung on the opportunity to get a good looking one.
