'87 325e (bought last week)

[fresh_TD]

Picked up my second e30('87 325e) last week..didn't pay much for this one and it runs solid..needs some work cosmetically but she will get there slowly like I did with my '91 ix..just ordered rotors, pads, calipers, break lines, shorty shift kit for now..the breaks are shot..the exhaust is rotted so I need to get a new one...What options do I have for exhaust? will a 325i exhaust bolt right up? Thanks in advance
Few pics of the car when I brought it home.






Then I gutted it to make sure there were no issues with the floor board.




And a few of my '91 ix I got a year ago and restored :-)

thanks...the body has some surface rust and needs to be painted..
any advice on exhaust? not trying to spend to much on it, even something used in good shape will do... I'm not going all out like I did with the ix ;-)

Id put a complete 325i exhaust, 3.73 lsd and chip, makes an eta go pretty good

Assuming he's talking about a header-back and not a catback, yes.

So I would need to get everything pass the headers?

Yes, because the "i" exhaust is 2 pipe all the way back, where as an ETA exhaust is a one pipe.

Another fellow Schwarz and diving boards E30.
Looks like a good start to keep you busy.
Good looking IX as well
