Lachs Silver 1988 325 Sedan

We're going through a very similar process!

Im about to order the same injectors from Bimmer_Baron also, what software are you using? Sssquid is the way Im going.

The current owner of the Aluminum Monster just installed a rebuilt driveshaft but will be going to a 6speed setup soon. I already committed to buying the G260 setup from him when he sells, so I will just continue to enjoy the auto until then... Theres also enough other stuff to keep me busy until then.

Have you checked to see what rear end your car has? I thought Id have the 4.10 with my auto setup, but I have a 3.73 ... open too :(

My car currently has a 2.93 open diff.... and it's so awful lol. I purchased an S3.73 LSD I'm going to put in one of these days.

I'm also going with a SSSquid chip. 91 octane, 19lbs injectors. I'll order once I know I have a known good 885 "i" cylinder head. I actually don't mind the power as it is right now. It's the ultra long gears and auto that bogs it down. It's been fun watching your build come together! Did you ever trace down the cold start issue? Did you replace your throttle position sensor? That made a massive difference on mine and it now starts cold like a champ.

Nice one. I just bought an 88 325 coupe in AW2 and will be doing a similar build. I'm currently refurbishing the trans I bought for the 5 speed swap.

What are you having BavRest do to your cluster?

Edit: we also have the same interior... well not anymore that you found some sport seats!! Where did you get them from?

Lookin good!

This car is coming together really nicely, great work :D

Thanks! I'm having BavRest do their full restoration on the cluster including all new bulbs, odometer gears, polishing the plastics, new SI batteries. On top of their full restoration, I'm also having red gauge needles and brushed aluminum gauge rings added. I haven't sent mine off as of yet as I have been spending money in other areas.

I found the sport seats on the R3V FaceBook page. Someone posted a WTB for them, then the OP passed on this set. The guy's name was Joe, he lived in Detroit. Really nice doing business with him, not sure what his name is on here.

Lookin good!

Thanks, Zephyr! I was sad I missed the meet this past week. Excited to see how yours comes together.

This past weekend I took the car on a 650+ mile road trip over three days down to Eugene, Oregon. It was completely flawless, not a hiccup to report and returned nearly 30MPG! I need to get that S3.73 in asap. The gears are insanely long with the auto as of right now. Also wet traction is pretty LOL - so easy to spark up a nice one tire fire. Maybe when I get back from Nashville the week after next I'll get to putting the diff in.

Thanks brother. Now I got AlphaTeam behind me I'll take it to the next level!

For sure, Peter! There is a Griots Garage Cars & Coffee German meet on Nov. 4th I plan on attending. You should go too!

Looking good so far!

I appreciate it! It's come a long way in the 4.5 months I've owned it. Still lots of work to do.

Fall Photo Shoot

Snapped some pics over the weekend.





















I love these floor mats. I've never seen another set. They came with the car. Sadly the passenger side front is missing

[cheffy30]

well... it'll be near perfect once you take that ridiculous mariners plate wrap off the back... lol...

Big Ups to S3 Designs Garage! They completely rebuilt my S3.73 rear limited slip diff & did a great job with the install. Filled with Redline 75-90. It really made a noticeable difference so far in the ~5 miles I've gotten to drive the car. My only regret is not installing it earlier!

Crap iPhone pics don't do it justice in this dark light. It looks amazing.

Gosh I love this car and what you've done with it. Keep up the good work! Being from Vancouver I'm always sad to see a local e30 go south, but in this case I'm glad this one did!

That differential looks beautiful. The car should really wake up with the 3.73.

haha man yours must've been a dog if you're that excited with it. I have considered getting a S4.10 since I have an open diff
