    New Member, New E30

    I just picked her up this morning, 1986 325 es. She has a fair share of minor problems, mainly cosmetic and a few electrical which from reading are easy fixes. (Odometer, passenger window switch)

    I come from a world of DSMs (91 galant vr4 1667/2000 and 90 Talon AWD) so I am no stranger to wrenching. I picked up the car for a good price so I cant complain too much. It also needs new brakes which I think I will be going with the TMS brake package, w/ SS lines and axxiss ultimates.


    The oil was just changed as well as the radiator being recently flushed. She runs pretty well for a 20 year old car. There is a distinct smell of gasoline, but I am thinking it might just be a bad O2? Anyway onto the pics!


















    Keep on Keepin' on.

              About that, is there a sticker somewhere with the last time it was changed? IIRC its by the fuse box?

                            Thanks guys!

                            Brakes were just ordered yesterday, TMS brake package with SS lines. The next thing is an alarm b/c apparently last night at 3am a few kids were being suspicious in front of my house, which isnt cool. She now got moved into the garage for the time being.
