    My first BMW

    I'm new to this forum, so I thought I might introduce my car. I've posted this at another forum so, if you've seen it there, please forgive the repeditiveness.

    This is my first BMW (1989 325i). I've owned it for a couple months now and I reeaally like driving it. I bought it pretty clean, and its only got 100k miles. Since I bought it I replaced all the emblems and 2 headlights, replaced the missing front lip, switched oil/tranny/diff fluids to synthetics, and went through the whole car to ensure it's in great running condition. Oh yeah, I spent a few hours detailing it.

    I love the stock look of the car, so I have no intention of replacing the bottlecaps.






    It's got a few small chips in need of some touch-up paint.




    The emblem's a little out of focus. I'll do better next time.


    I actually bought this car for my daily commute, which consists of about 20 miles of twisting roads through the Columbia River Gorge. I really look forward to my drive on days like this.

    Nice delphin, and.... I wish I could call something like that a "commute".

    "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                  very clean and good miles!!!! What a beautiful drive you have to work you lucky dog.....If you want to keep the stock look, go for some basket weaves, they are stock and look 100x better than the bottlecaps..

                            awesome car! good to see another new PNW member aboard.

                            I third the idea for stock basket weaves. If you could swing 15in. euro weaves i think it would really make that car stand out even more than it does. Very nice, clean e30!
