    80's-tastic 87 325is

    So, I (finally) decided to post some pictures of my 87. I bought it off of ebay for a little too much money, but after nearly doubling the price (Fuel pumps, clutch, various upgrades) I feel much better about it. The car is really in great shape, runs almost perfectly now, and I feel like I saved it from it's previous owner.

    Here are some pictures from a photoshoot of my friend's. Full Gallery.






    The interior, which was reupholstered.




    Here is the current deal:
    1987 325is

    Interior:
    Fully reupholstered in leather
    Kenwood HU
    Polk 5.25 in kick panels
    Polk 6.5 in rear deck
    Bass Blockers on tweeters
    ZHP Shift knob

    Performance/engine:
    Kamotors CAI
    8mm Ignition Wires
    New Bosch spark plugs
    IE HD Rocker arms.
    UUC Short Shift kit with DSSR
    173 ECU
    Dinan Chip
    Bilstein sport shocks
    H&R sport springs
    215/17/45 BF Goodrich Geforce Sport comp2's on Damani rims (No, I don't know what they are either)


    Items that are on their way or are planned:
    Leather Ebrake Boot
    Bavauto Long Tube headers w/ Catless midpipe
    Remus Cat-back exhaust
    Miller MAF + WAR Chip
    Possibly M30 injectors, if deemed necessary

    Wow, looks really nice, how many miles?

    I've heard good things about the Myster-e head, I imagine it would make for a really fun car. Any plans for suspension upgrades?

      Thanks! Odo stopped working, but I'd guess about 250k+

      And I completely left them out! It has Bilstein sport shocks and H&R sport springs, along with BF Goodrich Geforce Sport comp2's. Original post updated.

            Right on, and yeah, my friend shot these with his Hasselblad, and that's how the film came out!

            Danke, I agree. I think the wheels look fine with it for now, but man, what I would give for some ACS Type IIs

              Nice car! I agree with Polaris about the wheels but in the meantime some spacers would help a lot!

                Nice! A couple more 80s/OEM+ upgrades (wheels!) and it will be perfect.

                      I love the car, leave those bumpers un-tucked! That interior looks really nice, how much did you spend to have it reupholstered?

                          Thanks for all the kind words! 80's rims are definitely in the picture, but I'd like to keep the wheels at 17, and that's hard to do while 4x100

                          I definitely plan to! I really like the combination of the black and silver.
                          And the PO did it so I'm not sure.
