New addition to the R3V community

[Bimmerista]

As many of you may be able to tell right off the bat...you're looking at a 1988 325iS in Lach-Silber. This is actually a color that I've had an eye out for the longest time.

The car was belonged to an older gentleman who basically along the way bought a new car & only used this car as an "airport" vehicle for the past 3 years. He was the original owner & it has been a TX car all its life.

Odometer quit working at 112,754....but he estimated that it has 130k on it today. Don't be jealous, but there is not a SINGLE crack on the dash either!! :D

As far as plans....I'll definitely be doing a bumper swap & getting a paint job done. I need to change the timing belt & water pump, as well as performing a tune-up & whatnot.

Here are the pics:









Part of the cleaning process:

Nice. Awesome miles, the right color, and looks pretty clean.

A repaint and plastic bumpers would make that car look mint.

As soon as I wrap up Fall semester of school, this car will be getting the attention it needs.

I also have a set of Euroweaves dying to be installed on this car too. :pimp:

you can use duct tape to cover up the rust spots. it's a perfect match, honest!

Haha...the only part of the car that has rust/paint damage is the driver's quarter...and its pretty strange how it is too.

Nice addition u got there. Wish my car was Lach-Silver. Looks so clean, my sterling silver looks like bronzit at night. Cant wait to see the plans you got for it.

Nice pick up. What'd you get it for?

[Erick]

If you don't know the reason why that shifter is backwards, you guys have not owned e30s for long enough. :p

Learn you must young padawans.

/cheesy Star Wars quote.

Looks like it needs some work, I'm curious to know how much you picked it up for as well.

[Bimmerista]

Yes...the shifter is on backwards.

As far as price...I paid $1400 + tax
