Newish Member with a 325e

One week later he remembered where he left the contraband.

The previous guy really loved his E30 I guess.

Well back in March 2011 I came across a great deal on a 1985 325e. I just had to drive 2-3 hours to get it. I picked the car up and enjoyed it very much so. A week later the previous previous owner contacted me and wanted his old car back and offered me a substantial deal so I couldn't really pass it up. So basically I had this e30 for about a week.







Then in January 2012 a bought a motorcycle. I got in an accident and repaired it a few months later and rode it some more. The bike needed some cosmetic work and I was really tired of messing with it and basically lost interest in the bike. I was browsing my local craigslist ads and I found this e30. Long story short I traded my bike for this 1987 325e.

What it looked like when I first bought it on August 27th:













Really the only issue with the interior is the hole in the seat


Crackless dash!


First day with the car at work


Got the paint off the amber lenses


Added an OE kidney grille and tag piece and this is pretty much how it sits today


Only issue is the ICV which I have one on order.

I'd like to get some nice wheels eventually. I'm really not a fan of the current wheels. I'm thinking about finding some basket weaves and selling the current set. I look forward to being part of this forum community. I've poked around in here for a bit and you guys have helped me out a lot so far.
