    New ethirty

    I got this car about 3 weeks ago and I'm so happy with it. I got it for $3200, no major problems, I had BigFish change the shock bushings and fix a minor coolant problem.

    She pulls strong!

    My intentions are to turn this baby into a fun daily driver/autocrosser









    Sorry for the shitty interior pics, but the interior is immaculate.




    Does anyone know of an easy way to get the lime green color off my engine manifold?

    Let me know what you think
    Looking for an e30.....

              Yea use simple green it should come right off. IF that doesn't work get a small wire brush it should flake off. Nice clean late model you got there..... suprised she doesn't have sport seats .. congrats!!

                Thanks
                Yeah uh, its weird... It says 325iS when I look it up on carfax, and on the inside of the door panel.... but when I got it, the badge just said 325i(I took it off)... so Im wondering if its a 325i or a 325is....

                  Looks great, I love simple, clean, white e30's. The best method for making that engine bay looking new again is to pull off the manifold and have a machine shop bead blast it clean. Should not cost you more than 20 bucks and it will look brand new again. Congrats on your purchase.

                          Looks good, now yank the fucking bra off it and hope it hasn't made a line on the hood already.

                            seriously, that bra will fuck your paint up bad if it hasnt already. remove it, claybar, polish, scratch-x, wax whatever you have to do. then if you're still dying for front end protection, look into lamin-x and all the clear bra options.

                              Yeah, thats the only thing that I'm semi bummed about. Its kinda yellow underneath the bra :(
                              The original owner was pretty dumb for leaving it on for so long, the reason he put it on was for a fat dent under the front emblem :crazy:

                              So I'm just going to wait to get all the dents taken out, then repaint the car. Until then, the bra stays on :[
