    My 1991 325i Laguna Grun 4-door!

    I just got it off the trailer an hour ago and I'm loving every bit about it!





    Pros:
    It's an E30
    4 doors for more whores
    Low enough for me
    Really nice custom exhaust

    Cons:
    It's an E30
    After driving for about 5-7 minutes it will die and won't even crank
    Interior needs some TLC
    Paint needs some TLC
    Oh and the electrics are a bit haywire on the dash, also on the list.

      That was my first assumption, I don't have too much time to start digging around in the bay yet. But hey even though I love E30's they need a little love to keep in tip top shape.

        Like every other old BMW and most other old cars for that matter.

            I couldn't miss the chance, I've been looking for awhile.

            It does need some maintenance though, it doesn't want to crank, I'm checking to battery tomorrow. I'm not an expert but I'm learning as fast as I can.

              Yea. Mine needs some work as well. I saw your picture on Instagram, as well. I love those wheels.

                      Thats funny, mines a 1991 325i Laguna Grun 4-door... And I bought it in minnesota... lol

                      I saw this one a couple months after I got mine and wished I had waited, but then again I paid 1200 for it plus 8-900 for 5 speed swap. What did you end up getting it for? I think I remember it being posted for like 5500 or something?

                      Anyways.. You are going to love it even more once you sort that problem out.

                      Also, what wheels are those?

                          They are XXR 527's 17x8.25 rear 16x8.25 fronts, I'm getting 16's in the back though for a nice square set. It was originally listed for 7,000, then I went on spring break and came back and it was at 5,000, then I bought it for 4500.

                          Yeah I'm pretty new to the whole thing but I'm trying my best to get things going, as of now I'm pretty certain the alternator is bad and my battery is dead. I have the battery charging now and I'm going to start it up and take the positive lead off the battery and see if it stalls, if it does I've got an easy fix on my hands and an excuse to change the timing belt.

                            They are awful. Barely made it up my driveway.
