    88 325is slow resto

    Finally found the e30 I've been wanting.

    I just put new wheels and tires on today:


    She is nowhere near as reliable as my current E30, which I unfortunately have to let go.

    California car, no rust... even has the map lights in the rear view mirror!
    I'm planning on a full restore over time. The whole fuel system has been replaced, as has a bunch more hoses, and I have a used trans being installed in a couple of weeks.

    Love these wheels!

      325 nice!

      I'm looking to buy original 325 also. but they are a bit rare here so I hope I will find something good in future.

      Wheels looks amazing. 100% Old school, like them.
      Who made them? Brand?

          Cool. They look very similar to Melbers. I love all kinds of such wheels.

          Really, I have a brother in Bulgaria and I was there a lot of times. Currently I live in country next to Bulgaria. :)

          Cheers !

            She has service records from the 90's too (including my recent one)!


            These are the titanium studs I used for the wheels:


            And then the radio I have waiting to be installed:

              This is how she looked when I picked her up. The hood needs to be replaced, and some minor paint/body will be done... as well with replacing the homemade rear mudflups:
