    My Alpine White '87 325i :)

    This is my E30. There are many like it but this one is mine. I've had it for about a year and a half now, but I've only put about 6,000 miles on it. It looks decent but I think it needs a new one of everything! :D

    Style 5's? What adapters are you running or 5-lug swap?
    sigpic1990 325IS,
    2.7L bottom end, Shrick 272 Cam, and a heck of a lot of bald tires.

      I swear this question gets asked every time someone posts a picture of an e30 on e38 style 5s.

      Nice car, what's it like inside, and under the hood?

        They are filled and drilled, by the previous owner. I really like these wheels, and I'm glad the car came with them. The tires on them are a little big though, they rub at full lock.

        The inside is okay. The dash is uncracked which is great. The driver's seat was completely clapped out though. It wouldn't raise up and I couldn't get it into a comfortable position. But I swapped the passenger seat and driver seat, and the passenger seat functions much better. I'll need to fix the other seat at some point, but this is a great temporary solution. I also have a sexy Clarion FZ102E headunit I'm going to swap in. Car has a great sound system put in by the previous owner.

        As for under the hood, it really makes me realize how little I know about cars. When the engine's running, it makes so many weird sounds. A couple months ago it developed a high idle. I replaced the TB gasket, adjusted continuity in the throttle switch, and teflon taped up some vaccuum hoses. Now the idle is steady around 600 RPM, which is great, but when it's idling, there's a lot of engine vibration. If I give it gas it smooths out, but idling it starts vibrating and bucking around a little under the hood... haha I don't know. Putting aside idle issues, vibration issues, and noise issues, it keeps on running and moving, so at least there's that.
