Just bought my first E30, an '89 325is!

I've always loved E30's, and I was constantly on Craigslist. I was actually on my way to look at a '99 323i Sedan, when the seller started acting shady, so while I was out and already took off work, I called the previous owner and I took it home that same day. But enough of that, here she is!
The interior is not original, but I love the tan with this white E30.
And yes, it is an auto, but I'm not complaining.. much ;)
One of the previous owners did spray paint the wheels black, and rash the one up pretty back, but I'll have them refinished in due time. She does need minor work, but nothing major.

And last but not least, I figured I'd introduce myself. My names Nick, and I'm glad to be a part of the E30 family!

Welcome Nick,

Some things I noticed with your E30, the front lip is installed upside down. Also the PO took out the sport seats and put in standard comfort seats.

Nice car regardless!

the front lip is installed upside down.

Not necessarily. Its not OEM. Its a volvo lip. People mount them both ways

And I actually thought that as well, but I don't mind it, I'll get the full Mtech II kit next tax return anyway! Also, I keep in contact with the previous owner, and he actually has the original sport interior in black leather, but I had a nasty tear in it. He's getting it reupholstered, and then I'll probably just purchase it from him!

And I was definitely trying to figure out what lip it was, thanks!

Car looks good. I've always been a sucker for white E30's. Welcome to the addiction, Nick.

Hi Nick!

Looks to be in great shape shape man. Plan on any suspension upgrades? H&R's, bilsteins, and sway bars are the best thing you can do to an e30 apart from maintenance.

Thanks, I'm gladly going to be 'dumping' money into it! The white really sold me on it, I just personally think cars that are white look better, just always have.

Thanks! I was surprised on how nice the body was for the age, I think I got a bargain on the price as well! And eventually I'm going to do suspension upgrades, and just about every other upgrade I can! I'm new to the BMW family, but could you tell me the benefits of such parts with the E30? If the price is right, it may be one of the first upgrades I do! ;)
