Time for my thread, 86 325e

[Reichart12]

Hey, I've had my car for just over a year now and have done a lot of reading here just never bothered to make a thread until now.
I bought my 325e as my first car and I'm currently in college so I don't have money to change much now.
This thread will mainly be a place for me to show what's going on with my car. I only have a cheap point and shoot camera and my iphone so quality may not be great.

I don't have a lot of plans for my car as there's a good bit of rust. I really just want to keep it running and enjoy it while I save up for a cleaner e30.

It was originally a white car and the PO painted it black (poorly), now its a faded black but its something. So onto the pictures...

When I first got it.

Looks cleaner than a LOT of E30s that pop up on here. An i top end swap would be sweeeeeeet on this thing. Welcome to the shenanigans.

Thanks for the compliment, those pictures definitely makes it look better than in person.

I have some more pics I've taken since then...

This was last year while I was doing some maintenance


Crap from my trunk


And the trunk. I need to do something to coat the metal to prevent more serious rust.


Another seasonal shot. Winter at my school.

Another delayed update of things that happened over the summer.

I got a Maryland flag decal to go on the roundel. I didn't make it, the guy who did has an account here but I can't remember his username.



Also at a local Pepboys car show I won a couple pulls on a dyno. I was nervous as I was following a 600hp Mustang. I just wanted to break 100hp.



And I did!!!
110hp with 146ft/lbs



As a reward to my car for doing so well, I got it a performance upgrade.



No installed pics yet because it was too dark outside by the time I got it on. Will take one eventually.

Finally got a picture of the cai. It's a tight fit.



Went for a drive on some back roads over the weekend and stopped for a nice fall picture.



And I have a couple shots at Hunt Valley cars and coffee of my bimmer next to a few others.
It'd be sweet to be able to get all the e30s together for one big pictures.

Well this thread never really made it anywhere lol. This car became too unreliable, although it does run there was just too many times it wouldn't start for me. Soooo as I need a daily car I went out and bought another e30. That's gonna be it for this thread, possible FS to come later. Ill start up a new thread for the new car.
