    My first e30

    hey guys, i finally got my first e30, 2 days ago. and am in love. this car is so fun to drive. its a 1989 325i 5spd convertible with the m20b25 engine. 158,000 miles, rust free and 100% stock! cirrus blue paint with pearl beige leather interior. one little crack on the dash. speedo and odometer work! only problem is the drivers seat has a little tear in it and the paint on the trunk and bumper are faded. but other than that its a really clean car! i picked her up for $3,000. here are some pics. i havnt taken any of the bay yet but ill put some up later. and will be posting all future updates to the car:) the PO put these fur seat covers in and i didnt like them at first, well, i still dont like them but that cover up that teat in the seat, and are unbelievably comfortable.lol

    Awesome find! youre gonna have a lot of fun with it, especially when you can start putting the top down in the summer. Welcome to R3v

            Thats true. Nice pick up. All it needs is a late valance IMO. Keep the early bumpers
            Possibly a new e Break handle and some knee bolster clips too ;)

            PS: Don't forget about the timing belt

              ah thats what those are called. yeah it sags down and my foot actually got suck under it on the accelerator on the highway.lol so that needs to be fixed ASAP! yeah i was going to change the timing belt, and the valve cover gasket. what else would be good to replace on the e30's? there arent really any records for it.
