e30 Virgin

[bowtie2bimmer]

I just bought my first e30 about a week ago. I have an expanding family and my 2-seater Chevy Xtreme wasn't gonna cut it. Instead of selling my precious Xtreme, i decided to add to my collection. A buddy of mine has a 325e and his brother has a 325is which is modded pretty well. I liked them and went out and got me an 325ic. I picked it up for 2 and a half. Here are some pics... Tell me how I did

Welcome. I have a cabrio myself. Does anyone know if that interior is OEM? Ive never seen it, and it doesn't look to shabby.

Nice clean vert. Don't gay it up.
Congrats on the pick up and welcome to the site. I have a feeling Whitey will like this thread. :D

Interior is not stock. It was recovered by the previous owner. Sadly its vinyl not leather. But I guess new vinyl is better than cracked/ripped leather.

BTW... how does one "gay it up" lol

What mods would you do? I'm thinking a modest lower, a strut bar and a markd chip...

Those are a $400 sear cover set from bavauto. Nice and snug fitting.

Don't do this.

They aren't covers. The old leather was removed and this is new upholstery that was replaced. The previous owner had a friend who does interior and had him do it.

I've got a timing belt kit, plugs, wires, air filter, cap & rotor, and fuel filter in the works already.... I'd say that's a good start on maintenance lol. Anything else I should do?

That's a really nice car for 2.5 bills. Nice snag. Before you do any modifications, make sure you do the timing belt/water pump first partnered with a valve adjustment. Then move on to replacing any worn suspension parts and go from there. Your current plans sound great. Welcome!

Don't do this.

DAMN! That was the EXACT look I was going for... I was gonna add matching underglow too though... ya know, to set it off
