    My time capsule ride

    Hi there, new member here and I just picked up this E30 today. It has 53k miles, 1990 325i, all original no rust...looks brand new. I am looking to keep it all stock for now. I might lower it and get new wheels, we'll see how it goes. This is one of the cleanest I have ever seen. I was not looking to buy one but I had always loved bmw and the e30 and I used to own a e36 M3. When this came up from my co worker, I could not pass it up and the price I got it for was a steal.

        Keep it stock. Please no one come in hear and say lower that thing to the ground or put 20's on it.

        Its clean, keep it that way. Only thing I would suggest is get some mint oem basketweaves and your set.

          I am keeping it stock, I think basket weaves would be the way to go. I am considering a 5speed swap, but if i do that..I would need to lower it and it will snowball from there. So will be stock for at least a couple of years and see how it goes. This car was not driven much as the original tires are still on the rear and it's cracking..so will need new tires. It was owned by an older lady from California and moved up to Seattle there is absolutely no rust on the car.

              I have to agree! Nice set of rims and keep the rest stock. Not all E30s have to be modded out to be cool.

                    Doesn't matter if he lowers it or not, as long as he doesn't beat the shit out of it, who cares.

                            Don't. If you do ^this, then its only a downward spiral.
