    Second E30

    Well i just had to get it...... 1990 325i 4 door sedan , the
    price was a steal and shes got an almost perfect body. A 5 spd. and black non sport interior 9 out of a 10 with grey carpet and non leaking sunroof 134xxx on the clock .
    Zinno is the color. The hood needs replaced and a fender needs respray also. Originally i bought the car for the bumpers and getrag 260 but as i soon discovered i think i might put zinno back on the road. I got a really good deal because the timing belt had broke. I am in the process of assesing the damage and have the front of the engine apart. Since i only got her last night i'd say i'm making good progress for day 1. There does not appear to be any rust and structurally shes sound. The dash is crack free and the carpet is suprisingly stain free !!!! The a/c has already been converted to 134a, it has cruise and driver air bag . There are a few things that are not mechanically sound , obviously the motor and the exhaust needs to be replaced from the cat back, it needs front brakes, and for some reason this 90 still has sealed beams (i thought ellipsoids came on all 88 and up ) i looked at the connectors on the back and it doesn't appear to be spliced so this still remains a mystery.
    TRUST ME pics will be following as soon as i locate the digital. All in all i am pretty pleased. :pimp:

                  Is that your exhaust hanging in the middle?

                      Looks nice, definitely put that one back on the road if you can afford it.

                      As far as lights go, I'm not sure when elipsoids were put on cars, but elips only came on e30s until '89. For '90 and '91 they had sealed beams.
