    New member, my 1990 325is

    Here it is, I bought the car from the original owner who drove it mostly highway miles and parked it for roughly 10 years. It currently has 150k on it and full maintenance records going back to 1994. Heater core or valve leaks and has been bypassed, the decklid spoiler has a few rusted off bolts and the sunroof needs a repaint but other than that there isn't much wrong.

      That's a straight looking car. But yeah, I wouldn't even turn it on if I knew it sat for 10 years haha.

          By 'sat' i mean they put almost no miles on it but they actually kept up with maintenance. Timing belt and water pump were done 3k miles ago in 2013.

                I'd do the timing belt anyways because you don't want to risk a cracked head on a (somewhat) low mileage motor. Expecially If it's a matching numbers block...

                  Quoted for first ever mention of a matching numbers e30 that I have seen/heard. Sorry for threadjacking, but I didn't think r3v really cared about that.

                      Personally I do. Is it cost effective for my broke 17 year old ass? Hell no. But in a perfect world Id have a matching numbers car that is bone stock....

                      You got a nice car OP have a good deal of fun with it!
