    New addition to the R3V community

    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.

                            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.

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

                              Yes...the shifter is on backwards.
