1987 325ic. Newby here!

What's up guys?! I am new to the forums and I figured I'd go ahead and post some pictures of my e30. The story behind this car is funny...as i actually traded a gaming computer for it. Hopefully wanting to learn a lot more about the cars on here. First BMW I have owned and so far I love it...even with all its quirks. For starters the car is in rough shape...however the motor and trans mounts have been replaced and it has aftermarket suspension. Suspension is e36 m3 tokico shocks and eibach springs from what the previous owner said. Not too much else going for it, top leaks...interiors jacked up.

Welcome! This is a great start. Its the beginning of a beautiful Vert.

[MoreMayhem]

Looks like a promising start.
Do maintenance first, then appearance later.

not crazy about the lip at all.
i have a big soft spot for verts though :) good luck with it!

[entrepreneuR]

Welcome! +1 on the lip.

[Hellspeaker]

Yeah the lip will be long gone soon enough. I'll get some interior pictures up tomorrow. The plastic window had torn so I cut it out and replaced it with lexan and sealed it up so that doesn't leaked anymore...but alot of damage is already done. He replaced all the fluids in it not to long before I got it so Im getting ready to do plugs, wires and maybe some fuses, hoses and tps. As always, having many issues with my gauges, he plugged in a huge 6 inch tech, temp gushes and oil pressure...but I have to get that crap out asap! Anyways thanks for the positive feed back.

[Hellspeaker]

Oh and I see alot of changes in the newer cars, as far as exterior mods...what are my options? Im not real big on flash...usually just some nice wheels and make it look clean but id like to see the options.

[Hellspeaker]

Thanks!

Was wondering if you guys could give me some advice as to what I should hit first? I was looking around the engine bay and alot of it looks really janky lol. I took a few pictures, here you go. Also what exactly is picture 5?

[Hellspeaker]

Basically, I want to tidy up the engine bay some and get it cleaned up. I know if i change the radiator i can get rid of that expansion tank right? What radiator could i use for that? If you guys see anything else just let me know.

[cutsham]

Picture #5 is the wiring harness to the engine. And I don't know too much about the radiator, but I'm pretty sure all of them use expansion tanks, or overflow tanks.
