    newly acquired e30

    i bought this 1988 325is about 2 months ago for 3k. The car has an m50b25 non vanos, lightweight flywheel, uuc dssr, new control arms with treehouse racing eyeball arms, raceland headers, full exhaust with vibrant muffler. the previous owner completed the swap. when i got the car there was still a bunch of things that needed attention. evap lines, brake lines, oem calipers, bushings and so on. main reason i bought this car is for a fun weekend and track car. i just recently bought some used k sport coilovers from a member on here to get me by for now. i also picked up a z3 rack and uuc sway bar kit. next thing i am doing will be changing the wheel setup. right now i have 15'' bbs rz's from a vw corrado at et33. i like the wheels but for the track i want something different. looking at some compomotives, or possibly just a cheap alternative such as racing dynamics or d force. right now the current wheels have some dunlop direzza z2's. i really love these tires and would recommend them to anyone. I will post some photos as i upgrade things here and there.

            yeah i think i got a pretty good deal on it. motor runs strong. im just slowly updating things on it. the tires were pretty bad when i first got it. looking forward to installing the z3 rack and everything else i have ready for it. plan to keep a budget on this car. only thing i would like to do eventually would possible be a full m tech 2 kit. i just really like the way it looks. but as far as how the car is now i love it. just needs to be lowered a little bit which is happeneing soon.

                  Looks super clean. Just needs to be lowered like 3 metres.

                        Seen this car in person. It's beautiful! You should post up some exhaust videos you have. It sounds so sexy!
