1990 325i

[jdarwin]

Purchased from my brother in law last year when he needed funds to rebuild a mid-80's 911 he purchased. He purchased 15 years ago from original owner. I've owned two E30's previously along w/ a 1976 2002. Car shares the garage w/ my 2017 M2. Recent suspension overhaul (all BMW OEM). 5 speed manual. Paint is perfect - no cracks in dash. Seats starting to crack a bit. Seat shocks replaced. Everything electrical works well except the central locking - on the list. OEM Hardtop w/ special install tool (may sell - never use). Euro bumper conversion, 3.73 LSD, ellipsoid headlights, Turner chip, RaceSkids cross brace, euro grills and very old school maintenance its entire life.

keep it that way...
how many miles?

[jdarwin]

125000. It gets less than 3000/miles per year. Truly a spring/fall weekend car.

Get some more pics up. Looks like a nice car.

those just look like late model bumpers with a late front valance. Euro bumps are chrome

[cheffy30]

looks like it would love a good giddy up spanking...
engine pics!

More pics..


As for bumpers, they were sourced by my brother in law - I assumed they were the euro version since they don't look like the diving boards that came on my 1976 2002. I DO need to get it out more. I had foot surgery over the holidays that has limited my driving to my SUV - easy entry and exit. It has turned into a garage queen w/ my M2 for the past 6 weeks. I do miss driving it.

Gorgeous dash, interior and mtech 1 wheel! Rear seats look like they're in great shape for a vert. Most split their seams up by the top. Get some 303 Aerospace protectant on the dash to keep her crack free!

[jdarwin]

I use lots of 303 and the car really has never been exposed to the sun for extended periods of time. It is garaged and covered most of the time. That said, the interior doesn't look as nice as the pics would make it seem. There is some fading and the driver's seat / top of back seat is starting to crack. My project for next winter is a full World Upholstery re-do of the seats. Until then, I'll just enjoy it. Thanks for the comments!
