My e30 325e DD project/build thread

Gas looking better! Drained all of the fuel, changed filter that was clogged and full of grunge. Plan is to fill up and add marvel or seafoam and change fuel filter each of the next 5-6 fill ups. Hopefully tank will get clean!

Mate, nice center console, where did you get it?

[b1mm3r]

Thanks. Out of an e36 parts car.

My filters came in today. Iv'e almost ran a full tank and so far so good. Going to replace the filter every other fill up and hopefully she stays clean! Waxed her also, paint shines pretty good!

Some rolling shots! Going to install the bilsteins and bavauto springs within next month or two. Have to wait on my e36 to get out of the paint shop!

Got my roof rack in yesterday. Fits good, going to hopefully get the wood to do the platform this weekend.

So was reading the other day about how the coolant temperature sensor on the E30's are pretty important for fuel economy and also for how smooth the car climbs rpms under throttle. I thought my e30 was running good but that it had its "old car" stutter under certain throttle/load. I decided to grab one from auto zone this morning since they had one in stock and the car is running even more fantastic than it was before! The car pulls better/harder and runs soooooo smooth now! That $13 part made my day!

Just thought I would throw out an update!
Replaced the slave and master cylinder a few weeks ago. Replaced seat belt buckles last night. Car is basically finished! Plan on a very mild drop down the road as well. Also as always using my roof rack all the time.

Nice sedan, might want to check for rust in the tank.

Thanks. Iv'e checked the fuel a few times since got the deposits out and it's been clear for months now. Hoping it stays that way.

Hey love your e30 man! You have done a lot of good work bringing this car back. Must say I admire you keeping the stock engine to many molested 325e's going on right now. I love my bone stock 325e. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Matt. They only thing that bothers me is the 4x4 height. Thinking of throwing on some h&r sports or ST springs to drop around 1.5'' to make it more of a normal height lol.

Car looks great!

Wish I had your motivation to try and revive old, broken parts like my window regulators and such! So much more would get done.

Thanks!
Pulled the trigger on some st springs, can't wait to get them on!

What brand of fuel filter are you using?
