    Reunited and it feels so good...

    My First Love, 84 BMW 325e I stupidly traded her in 2004 for a Chevy Colorado...biggest mistake of my life. I had to do the Timing belt, head gasket, water pump, driveshaft....and the list continues I regret not taking better care of this car


    I thought of different ways of getting rid of that truck and finally landed a deal on my E46 330i, Im still paying this off so I want to keep the miles low since maintanence is expensive.



    I drive to school tuesday and thursdays and my school is about 35 miles away from home so I need a good commuter car, since I do not want to damage the Hamann's. My father is good friends with the service manager here at New Century BMW, over sunday brunch he gave my Dad a lead on a car.

    1985 BMW 325e
    Red/Blk
    211,000
    Manual
    Recaros, OBC, Power everything...yada yada

    Imagine its January 29 1985 and your in a BMW dealership, you just purchased a 22,000 dollar BMW 325e off the showroom. Thats how I felt when purchasing this car except its 22 years later and the car was selling for $2000.

    This man was the original owner of the car and was very meticulous about it. All of the services done on the car were done by New Century BMW and I have access to all of those records. I rushed over tuesday night to take a good look at this car and bought it the following day for 2000 dollars.

    Ladies and Gentlemen....Introducing the newest addition to my collection











    That is still the cars original paint!!!! The previous owner would wax this car once every 3 months and it was kept in the garage or covered if outside. He would immediately call a dent doctor if the car was dented and use touch up paint to take care of any rock chips on the front end. This man took better care of this car than his own children.

    I originally thought I would buy this car and start modding ASAP! After seeing it and how much effort the previous owner put in to keeping it classy, I plan to do the same. I hope to find Euro Bumpers for the car and maybe some Ronal LS's to replace the bottlecaps. I would also put a little drop on it for to clean up that gap between the wheel and the fender.

    Thanks for taking the time to see my new joy and i'll see those of you who are attending the Old School Meet in Pasadena.

              Really Nice car man. Alot of the same things you are thinking about are already done to my car. I love it.

              I paid 4k for mine....But it has a very expensive/nice suspension setup, mint interior, good condition original paint, one owner and all service records...All I have done is just changed the oil mechanically for almost a year, everything else is up to date. Well worth my while to find a clean example.

              1987 325 4 dr.

              H&R race springs, Bilstein sports, M3 CABs, M3 al control arms, IE 25/22 sways, IE billet rear shock mount, Kmac camber plates, IE front strut brace, Ronal LS 15x7.5 et 25 with Kuhmo ecsta 711 215/50 r15s, ATE powerslots, Hawk pads, SS brake lines, Dinan Chip and B&M short shifter. (I added Euro bumpers, Euro Grills, Euro Ellips w/ 6k HIDs, Euro Analog clock, cup holder, is rear spoiler, and a set of 14 in weaves with blizzaks.) All I need to do is ad a nice stereo and I have my perfect Daily.

                              Heater works but the AC isnt. Im assuming his wife liked the feel of the sheepskin. I havent had a chance to take it out but ill probably move that over to the drivers side during the summer since it gets so hot here in California.
