So my family did a bit of car exchanging over the Christmas weekend. The sister got a new Mazda 3 Hatch, and the result of that was my dad taking over her ex-mini as a DD.
The best part of that story is now that he has a new DD (the mini) he decided to hand over his precious little E30 to me.
It's a 90' 325i Auto. Delphin Gray
It's an auto, but I don't mind it. This car will serve as a quick around town and DD when it rains and I can't take the moto. Traffic on PCH during the week BLOWS and I hate driving the 330(manual) when I can't take the bike.
So this car is perfect for what I need it for, and it looks damn good.
No electrical problems, runs great, turns over great MPG, and looks FANTASTIC.
- 149k miles
- Auto
- $399 2-Day Paint Job (not maaco)
- Repaint/Machined Style 10's
- Kumho AST 205/50-15's
- HR Sport
- Bilstein Sport
- New CAB's, Control Arms, Tie Rods, Sway Bar Bushings & Links
- New Water Pump, Timing Belt, Thermostat
- Complete fluid flush
All of that done within about 2 months roughly 3 months or so ago.
This car runs like a CHAMP.
It needs a new stereo, badly, but it WORKS. Hoping to find a reputable shop or person around these parts (recommendations welcome) for getting some new ICE installed.
Only picture I have of her right now(not my house):
My Dad has taken awesome care of this beast. The paint looks fantastic for what he paid for it, and it shines so well during the day.
Will get more photo's up soon.
Other toys..
The new track toy... 06 Daytona 675 with 1000 miles on it (bought it from my boss for 1k$ because he just needed it gone :)). Integrated LED Tail light, CW Fender Eliminator.
