1989 Lachssilber ///M3

Thanks Diego, I was also surprised at the condition of the interior. Thanks to the prior owners! BTW I am the 5th owner I believe. When I got the car, my buddy had a thick folder full of service/part/paint records.

On another note, I just finished pumping about a 1/3 tank out of the fuel tank. I removed the full pump and sucked it all out. When I do the fuel filter on friday, I will try to drain the rest. Until then...

There's a drain plug on the tank on the pass side. No need to pump out fuel :)

Congrats! Look forward to progress.

Congrats! Looks like a solid M3 specially after 257k miles it does look very well conserved. Leather should all cracked and worn but seems the previous owner(s) took care of them.

Nice score, sub'd

thanks for all the nice comments. I cant wait until that box of goodies comes in.

Solid fix on that intake boot.
Any plans with it besides restoring?

im not really looking to make it a garage queen, but a nice daily driver/ track car. My girlfriend and I have been tracking my e46 M3 and now we can both drive.

Beautiful! A LOT cleaner than my "project." You'll have it tip top in no time at all. Mind I ask what you gave for it? You can PM if willing to share. Best of luck with her! Solid find.

Publicly i'll say CHEAP IMO, PM sent

Nice score! What do you use that stick/tig machine for?

I have a couple 70's motorcycles ('72 CB500 and '73 Shovelhead) that I am building from the ground up, so I weld on the frames, make handlebars, fenders, stuff like that.

Why did the car sit for so long? Beautiful ride. I would make some subtle changes (wheels) or drive it as is until funds become available.

My buddy was daily driving it and it initially needed new tires, on top of life, he just kinda forgot about it from being busy. What wheels do you like? I was going to refinish these style 5's and get some Apex track wheels if I can find some that fit the e30 M3. I have been reading they quit making that fitment.

I need friends with m3's that they will sell me.

Am jealous you have good friends!
