    I feel the E30 love all over again

    So Saturday morning i sold my 02 SE-R to some jackass. happy to see it gone, and i got some spending cash.

    So later that same day i head over to see my good friend Mr Deagle and his '85 325e"is" which i gladly helped do the engnie swap. i come with 1200 dollars cash in my hand. we signed some shit, transfered ownership and i took the key and 4 extra rims and tires and a late model rear metal bumper and gladly accepted my new car!

    needless to say, it drives differently than my eta, so it took a good 5 minutes to get used too. i know you are tired of reading my typing, so i will get to the car.

    specs - 1985 325e with an '87 325is engine swap.

    Bads - the paint is kinda beat up, and looks like someone carved demonic symbols into the hood.
    - the headliner is old and tired
    - dash has cracks in it, but is covered by a mat
    - due to damage sustained in the head i can only r3v to 5k to be safe, but a new head is on the way!
    - no LSD. lol
    - I need some new rims!

    Goods - It has a motherfucking front end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!
    - of course the engine is bomb. and the Dinan Performance chip helps also.
    - z3 2.8 shifter and e46 325i shift knob means i barely move my hand to shift. big change from my worn out shifter on the 325es
    - MomoCourse bucket seat keeps my ass in place
    - It has a front end!
    - Ipod connectivity through the deck, which is the reason i bought a 30 gig video ipod.
    - Fast as fuck, i know why everyone loves that 7k tach, even though i cant quite us it all the way yet. lol
    - a million candlewatt spotlight is hardwired into the car, which means big fun late at night shining the light into people walking on the side if the street.
    - Late model front and rear aluminum bumpers, so they dont stick out quite so far.
    - Refurbished tranny, and new guibo
    - M5 floor mats
    - late model smiley headlights
    - and oh yeah, in case i forgot to mention it, IT HAS A FRONT END!

    PICS! (will be getting more shortly)


    i dunno what kind of rims to throw on there, i gotta give me front ones back, and i dont wanna roll on bottlecaps.



    That seat is so bomb, took a while to get out of it fluidly, but i got it down now. and that shifter is so tight. shifting feels so sure and confident.



    oh and my friend is a model. lol

      It's beat but unlike your other car this one at least has potential to come back to life. Congrats on taking a step up, now just get that head swapped out and slowly start cleaning this one up. Why not put the gold weaves from the other car on it? Anything is better than those 3 spokes it had.

          yeah it does have potential. plastic bumpers, new paint are all things that are on my mind, now that i have some extra dough.

          do you think gold and black would go together well?

          and my friend may be gay, but he makes one helluva model.

              It looks like a solid start. And the car is black so that is a plus (if you like black cars).

                yeah i like black, though the paint needs to be redone, cause it is pretty bad.

                but it is a nice solid start, and the "i" engine is hella tight. and fast

                    Oh Mike. I was so stoked to see you got a new E30.


                    Then I scrolled down.

                    Then I scrolled down and saw your friend.

                          It looks like its in marginally better shape than your other one. Dope.

                              Nice start. Shouldn't be too hard to clean it up. What are you going to do with your eta? Drive it off a cliff?
