finally got an e30, time to stop lurking :D

hey guys, been lurking here for a long time doing research on e30's, this sites been an incredible resource!

picked up a cirrus e30 cab recently and i wanted to share it with the community before bombarding you guys with questions and WTB requests :]

here she is, a 1989 325i manual with the optional LSD:


had all the maintenance and corroded parts sorted out but she's still not fit to be a daily driver. biggest problem is the convertible top's frame is broken (one of the joints sheared off) so it doesn't close properly. if anyone's located in the bay area and can lend some expertise or help on replacing/repairing convertible top frames, i would be eternally grateful!!

Cheers!

That the same car that had 3rd gear blown out? My friend was considering buying it a while back before he got his.

Welcome!
