E30 Intro

[josephuta]

Hello Gentlemen,

I'd like to introduce you to my '92 Vert (found her on craiglist). I bought her back in Feb. of 2011. Flew one way to San Francisco with my buddy and drove her back to Dallas, TX which made for an awesome road trip! She had approx. 131,000 on the clock when I got her and had been dealer maintained her whole life at BMW SF (folder full of records). Supposedly the second owner was a service manager there. Paid $4,300 for her. I'm a lucky man! I'd like to thank everyone on this forum for all the info and advice!
Since I've had her I've done the following:
Fluids:
RedLine MTL
Valvoline 75W90
Suspension:
H&R Sports (vert specific)
Bilstein HDs were already on her
Meyle Control Arms
Meyle CABs
Meyle Sway Links
Meyle Tie Rod Assemblies
Meyle RSMs
Engine:
Coolant Hose Refresh
Fan Clutch
Thermostat
(dealer beat me to the Water Pump and TBelt)
Blunttech SSK
OEM IS Lip
Transmission Seals (rear shaft, selector shaft)
Transmission Mounts
CSB
Guibo
new power steering hoses/reservoir
Rear Headrest Conversion
e46 Keyless Entry (einstein57)
Boston Acoustic Components up front
Alpine F250 Amp
10" Audiobahn Sub
Convertible Top was replaced in 2011
Future Plans:
Rear End Bushings (no problems yet)
FIND OUT WERE TO PUT THAT SUB IN MY BACK SEAT! :)
(does no good in the trunk with two layers of sheet metal behind the back seat)

[josephuta]

thanks. lol. I gotta have my bass!

[MT325is]

looks nice! get that valve cover cleaned up tho!
any plans for engine?

[josephuta]

thanks! Actually just plan to keep it stock. It is due for a valve adjustment. I just bought a hardtop E30 this month (will start a new thread on that one soon) that will be a DD once its roadworthy. Plan on making this one my weekend driver.

Very nice car! Love the color combo.
I think stereoinstaller would have a vert bass solution ??

All she needs is seats and engine beautification and then leave it as is.

Sub placement is hilarious.

[josephuta]

lol. sub location is working its way to the top of my future plans. :)

Put the sub in the passanger side to offset some if not all of the weight.
