    MaloventEvil's E30 325i Project

    Hey all,

    I've been searching for a 325i for a while now, and finally found a steal of a deal. It is a 1990 325i 5 speed with LSD option from factory with absolutely mint interior and almost mint exterior. Bought it last Friday and am looking forward to updating this thread to keep track of stuff for myself! :) Pics to come.

    Wow, I never updated this thread -- time to play catch up!

    Here were the pictures from when I bought the car. Other than the ghetto rims, steering wheel, and drivers seat, it was in pretty good condition!

      Did the timing belt, other belts, hoses, alternator, and swapped for a new trunk lock (had to have a friend climb through the ski pass and unbolt the lock).

      Mods installed since purchase:

      - MTech Steering wheel
      - Ellipsoids + 6000k HIDs.
      - LED license plate + interior lights.
      - New roundels
      - Plastidipped the kidneys, and i did one side of the window trim (it took like 3 hours to tape it so I didn't get it all done last weekend).

      Waiting in a box:
      - Z3 1.9 Shifter.

      Pics to come!

                        i thought about it, but didn't want to spend money on rims + tires because in a few months i'll be buying some esm 002's (the BBS RS reps)

                          dude you can find bottlecaps for like $80, weaves for $150. those rims are only acceptable with a large 'my rims suck' sticker on your rear window.
