    90 Alpine White 325i

    thought I'd post a few pics after a quick cleaning. Nothing special, just a 1990 Alpine White 325i, 106K miles on the clock. Only mod is an Ireland Engineering Catback. I have a set of AC Schnitzer 16" Type I's sitting in my garage waiting for a refinish. I plan on putting them on after some suspension goodies :). Sorry for the shakey interior shot, for whatever reason I couldn't get a good shot :).

    How do you like the catback?

    The car looks good, nice starter!

      Catback sounds pretty good, but fit like shit. I had to have a shop bend the intermediate pipes downward in order for the tips to not knock into the the rear bumper, thus making a very annoying knocking noise. The fitment up to the the stock cats wasn't spectacular either, but hey everyone else says great things about it, maybe I just got a bad seed.

        You have found an excellent example of an e30. 106k and she's just broken in.

                        looks identical to mine except i have the older steering wheel (89) and no exhaust, and yours seems to be completely rust free.. Oh yeah, I got mine from IL too!

                            Definitely looks like a very clean car.

                            Looking forward to seeing it with the Type I's and suspension.
