New Member! Pics of my 1987 325is

[Lyrred]

Hey everyone. Ive recently developed a love for the e30 . Ever since i got one in the summer. It's my first car and i just like it so much. I got it in the summer time and my uncle was doing body work and putting a new paint job on it. I have pictures of before and after. It was originally Alpine white with cardinal red interior. Now its a Gunmetal color with the same interior. I plan on putting a Turner/JC chip in the car in a few weeks. I hope you guys like it.. Give me your feedback!

The car is dirty in some after pics but thats because its been sitting in the shop after the paint job. After a few pics i grabbed a rag and wiped it down just a little. I wanted to show you guys my ride. I'm off to college and i went back home today for break :up:.

Nice score....whats the story behind the European cluster???

I have no idea. I live in the Bahamas and maybe its european imported?
but its not right hand drive though. I go to college in Daytona Beach, but the car is in the Bahamas. Im home for spring break so i get to work on it alot.

sooo i have no idea. maybe the PO switched it out

[Lyrred]

any ideas on whether or not i should tuck the dbs? And what are the best shocks/springs for a good height/suspension?

[TexasTerp]

Ireland Engineering and H&R have great spring sets for the e30. I personally like untucked boards on Black/Delphin e30's. If the boards are clean and don't have any major scratches, I suggest polishing them up!

[Lyrred]

thanks alot. i just might do that.. however i think i might be able to get my hands on some original plastic bumpers for good prices :). is it very hard to do the swap? is modification required to go from 87 diving boards to plastic bumpers?

Love the red inside.
