    My E30 325i cabrio

    Hello

    Long time with no posting here! Here is my E30 325i cabrio, a "work in progress" of course.

    I bought it in July of 2006, it's a Diamondblack 325i cabrio born in Germany in April of 1992. I bought in a really good shape (with 213 000 km on the odo / 133 000 miles) with just a few minor pbs (a start of rust on a rear wing, leather not so perfect on the passanger, nothing special). As I love options, I'm starting to have a full equiped E30, as far as possible. I'm also modding it, but not it's apparence (except wheels), only performances parts.





    As bought :
    - 14" light allow wheels (standard on E30 325i)
    - ABS (standard on E30 325i)
