So i've been around the site for a while before i finally created an account. So here it is, my 1986 Euro Polaris Silber RHD 320i coupe, and I am the third owner. Some history on the car...
The 2nd owner (who is also a E30 fanatic & bmw mechanic) bought the car from the 1st owner as a stock 320i. He then went ahead and did the full 2.7i conversion with the motronic 1.3. He also went ahead and did some other tid bits here and there (i'll list those later down). I met up with him one day through a friend, and on September 2012 I acquired the car. The car has been parked ever since and I bought it with a few cons, however it was too much of a deal to pass up on, so all i do now is start it every weekend and move it around in the driveway.
The specs are as follows:
ENGINE:
- 2.7i with Motronic 1.3 DME and MAF conversion
- Limiter set at 6500 rpm
- 2.5" exhaust straight pipe with OBX type-R exhaust
- Short ram Intake
- getrag 260 with 2.79 Diff (the guy said he weld it together...yuck)
SUSPENSION & BRAKES:
- Bilstein shocks with lowering springs (i don't know what brand)
- Stock front discs
- drum brakes on back
- 15" rims (unknown)
INTERIOR & EXTERIOR
- Houndstooth interior
- Ebay Bucket seats
- Pioneer radio
- Euro Clock
- Ebay projectors with halo rings
- E36 side skirts
- Ebay tail lights
- Late model ebay fogs (yea i know...)
- HID lights in headlights & Foglights
MISCELLANEOUS
- Electric radiator fan (wired to the a/c button)
- A/C but needs to be re-gased
- Sunroof
- Battery relocated to trunk
- Push button to start (wired through the foglight switch. So fogs only come on when the headlights are turn ared on...which is everytime they are turned on)
The Cons are: dead battery, worn tires, worn left tie rod, slighty worn guibo. worn shifter bushings
SO HERE ARE THE PICS (taken with a crappy blackberry)
When i was looking at it (with my mechanic in the background...we got rid of the hideous wing)
(the guy i bought it from had planned on Boosting it, but couldn't bother. So he took the turbo timer and boost gauges..fine by me *kanye shrug*)
(the same guy did a lil valve cover job testing the different colours. eventually couldn't be bother too keep switching colours)
(Parked at my house with my mom's old '01 E46 316i...which i daily drive. And another pick with my mom's current '07 E60 530i)
I still keep in contact the previous owner. We link up at bimmer links-ups and the like. I'm suppose get some freebies from him, like an IS spoiler inner door pulls and a new tach/speedo/etc gauge.
So for me. I'm 23, i'm in college doing my final year. Loved e30's from i was a lil kid. I've been searching for about 2 years to find one in good enough condition (trust me...there are alot of crappy ones, which i've seen, that this was honestly the best buy).
For now it's just to maintain it (college kid on a budget), until i finally get to do a spray job and eventually turbo it. As well as some minor aesthetic mods.
So lemme know what y'all think
