My '87 Royalblau ETA Sedan

[BonnschE30]

I've lurked alot, posted a little, and I figured that it was time I put up a little something dedicated to my current E30: 1987 ETA sedan. Car is royalblau metallic with a decent respray, odo broke at 167k. She's got 146k of dealer maintained service and I've really grown to love this car. Houndstooth and carpeted dash. I've owned an 87is, a few parts cars, but I think this will be the one that I hang on to for quite awhile. My first 4door and I really love the functionality of the sedan. Best thing of all...scooped this up for a cool $800!!!!



Since purchasing the car I've replacing the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, thermostat, air filter, fuel filter, pads and rotors. Ebay chip. Maybe 1 or 2 other things. Bomb canned the bottle caps, i've shadowlined the rest of the doors since then too. Left the roof trim chrome to match the db's and side moulding.

On the the important stuff! Car will be getting an m30 or m50 swap with a nice exhaust & chip, e36 rack with new tie rods/ends, billy sports, H&R sports/race, set of nice sways, and of course any odds and ends for the interior. There always seems to be something...OH yeah mtech1 wheel is going in for sure! Ditching the bus! Wanting to go with US ellipsoids and euro grills. Leaving the boards untucked just for the haters...



I already have a set of OZ 15x7" et26 meshies waiting in the garage...


PS -sorry in advance for the shitty pics! hoping to get a few decent shots soon!

Any r3v criticism is willfully accepted....

Do want door panels

[BonnschE30]

I want it to be a project so bad, BUT I'm moving to the mountains in November so I don't know if she'll be able to stay. Found a nice looking 90IX that I'll be inspecting as a snow machine for the winter. So if anybody is interested.... ;) Make you a good deal!


I was stoked to find the houndstooth underneath some lame seat covers on the front and rears. I dig the look and the door panels will stay with handle will be oem black replacements. I already have driver's and rear. Anybody got a passenger's front?

Among other things I need a 5 speed knee bolster and manual sunroof crank.

Washing and waxing tomorrow so new pics will be around.

Sick, getting Etas on the cheap is tight. I paid $800 for mine too.


Keep it up.
