Welcome to the forum and im guessing if your like me, by the time your "done" youll be depressed how much time and money you spend on your little e30. :)

just looked up your zip... Oxford? I bought my car in Woodbridge

[e30_lover_CT]

those would be hot... it would also look pretty nice with blacked-out chrome trim/mouldings and a subtle tint on the windows.

Your car is lovely. All she needs is Euro bumpers.

haha... well yeah, duh... the only mods I did were the spring/shocks/shock mounts/control arm bushings. everything else was something stock that was broken or excessively worn.

the fact that it's an eta doesn't bother me at all, to be honest. it kinda drove me nuts having the high whine of the m20b25 in my '90 all the time... it sounded frantic. I know it's the sound of performance and yeah, the car was a ton of fun to drive, but the eta just sounds a lot calmer and fits my budget for gas a lot more.

i think of it as, the eta's the seasoned pro and the 325i was the rambunctious kid. I guess I outgrew the 325i. would I get another one someday as a toy, though? Hell yeah....or an '88m5.... or a shark M6... haha

That's alot of money you have sank into it. And it's still an e. Might want to resist urge to mod for a few months to recover funds.

I bet it drives awesome w/ all the new stuff on it though.

Once I get my rear new pads and rotors on (so the car's brake sensor stops SCREECHING at me everytime I do more than a grandma-style stop..) it will feel better, but yeah... the new stuff has really made a substantial improvement in ride quality.

haha... I'm depressed already. My new little toy/daily driver has cost me $3700 in repairs in the past month. But...I mean, it also needed a lot of maintenance that was ignored for years. I looked through records that came with the car last night and saw that mechanics had told the previous owner about the blown guibo and control arms as early as 1999, when the car had 150K miles... and now, here we are, 9 years and 40K miles later and the car FINALLY has been fixed.

I suppose I should feel righteous :mrgreen:

Why are you depressed? Just drive it enjoy it for the next 5-7 years and sell it then.

M50 with E30 is an almost maintance free car except for the basic things. Fluid and filter changes.
