I just bought this glacier blue 1990 325i to be my daily driver. I had to jump on the opportunity to buy because it was a 1 owner, rust free car from California. As I drive it, I'm going to have it restored to really nice driver condition. I have already given it a tune up and new brakes. Next on the agenda is fixing the a/c, new leather and carpet, new front bumper and paint. This is going to take a few months, but more pics to come!

Thanks! It is currently in the shop getting the a/c fixed. I know it needs converted and filled with freon, but who knows what else. I have also ordered new leather, carpet, and shift boot for the interior. That should have it looking like new inside.1990 BMW 325i

It's been a little over a month and I've made decent progress. The a/c blows very cold now (just needed converted and charged) and I've had the upholstery and carpet changed. The leather remained the same color, but I decided to switch from tan to black carpet. I also got a set of modern BMW 1 series floor mats which fit pretty well. It smells like a new car inside, and I think it almost looks like one too. I'm pretty happy with it. With the interior done, it's on to the exterior!

Before I had it done, I looked into buying the carpet and upholstery off ebay and doing it myself, since that's one of the few parts of the restoration that I have the skills to do correctly myself. Total for the parts was about $1800. Then I got a quote from a very good upholstery shop in town, and the total with installation was $2300. No brainer. I let them do it.1990 BMW 325i
