    My e30 325i cabrio Mtech II

    Hello everybody, I would like to introduce you my car, which I have for like 1.5 years now. Sorry for my english, I`m from Czech republic, and I am not an english-native :-)

    So first of all, I have a little story...

    I was driving e46 330i Mpaket I for 2 years, as a daily car on Czech roads, especially on the prague`s ones. Than I realized that I do not want to destroy it on my short-trips, and I sold it.

    I bought Seat Cordoba 1.9 SDi for everyday drive, and started to look for something more "special", to be parked in a garage.

    I wanted to buy e46 M3, but it was a little bit too much expensive for me, I mean expensive to park it in a garage and use only for half a year, in a summer time...

    I was checking the advertisements every day, and one day, I found this.



    And I was in love...

    New body paint, a story about getting the car in "as good as new" condition etc..



    So I hit the road with my friend and went to buy it. It was 550 km from Prague to Poprad, different country, but neighbours :)

    We met on a parking, and when I was going around the corner, where the car was parked and firstly saw it I was





    So I bought it.....

    It was the end of summer, so I made around 1000 km with the car before the winter started.

    We made some photos before the winter came...






    Than I closed it in the garage and I was waiting for spring, to start working on the car. Do you ask why to start "working on the car"? ... It actually wasn`t in the condition which I though it was, and I knew that I really want it as good as new....

    Plans were:

    new transmission
    shoret shifting from Z3
    taking engine apart and make some work on it
    etc..


    So the spring came :-)









    Some BMW genuine parts :)





    Sperre..

















    its unbelieveable what people can do











    shorter shifter :)







    Almost there!





    Than I bought e34 M5, but it is a different story :)



    So in this condition, I drove it last season. I made around 8000 km with it, which is quite good, but there were still some thing missing in the car.

    Some photos which we made during the last season:























    New sealing



    new parts







    and some photoshooting again :)









    With new injectors, I took it on the DYNO...










    result: 157 PS :)

    I am working on improving them now, during this winter.

    So there are some of them...

    new hella black headlights



    tuning pedals gone



    seats before renovation



    new door and roof sealing



    some other parts



    new antenna



    black carpet in plan- waiting for the chemical to do it



    and here we go

    new horn knob- steering wheel center





    and renewed wheel



    seats before and after























    some details :)



    And that all for now. I am still waiting for spring to put some of this stuff into the car, new music is coming soon, I have to make a new paint on rear and front bumper etc....

    so stay tuned and thanx for watching :)

              Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.
