Whattup everybody. Here's my very first e30, a 1986 325es.
Got it for $2400 out the door. No prior history, the odometer stopped at 195k miles, dash is cracked, only one speaker works and the black trim has decided to turn into grey. But, I love it. Timing belt is getting replaced within a couple weeks. Already seafoam'd it and put new spark plugs, oil + filter, air filter and fuel filter in it. Plus it has some type of Borbet wheels, anybody know what model they are?
on the lot the day I picked it up:
driver's seat has a rip unfortunately, hence the lame seat covers
Got a nice surprise when I was changing the brake pads the other day :D
Not sure what kind of springs they are though, anybody have any guesses?
I suppose the grand scheme would be to get it to a nice OEM+ stage. I'm thinking Ground Control sleeves to get it low and maybe some basketweaves for wheels. Not too sure where I want to go with the chrome trim, maybe keep it chrome, maybe go black.
As money comes trickling in in the coming weeks I'll hit up all the black trim with some trim paint to get a little more fresh and give it a nice wax and polish. Diving boards are definitely getting tucked asap as well.
Hopefully I'll have some better quality pics coming up as I get some work done to it. That's it though, so far I absolutely love it. Even though its an eta and slow as fuck, its a blast to drive and handles like a dream. Thanks for checking it out
