Won't be slamming this one... 88 325iS Build Up
I owned a 99 M3 for 7 years and had an itch to get back into an e30 for some more 'fun'. Was just bored of the M3. It sold and now I start on the e30! I searched for about 1 month and found some winners, found out 1 was wrecked so scratched that off the list.
I think it was fate since after I got the carfax I searched again and found a CL Ad posted just 12 minutes earlier. Called the owner, made a deal and 1 week later my friend and I were in the 328iC driving to Oxford to get the car.
1988 325iS
5-Speed
145,000 miles
2 Owner California Car
Garaged
Everything works... Everything including A/C, all windows,electronics, etc
Overall it is in excellent condition inside and out. It is not perfect but it is close and I am loving every minute of it! End purchase price was 2300 dollars!
The plan is a street/track/auto-x/daily car. I won't be slamming it, won't be stretching tires, will be using shocks/springs and some decent looking wheels. Want it to be fun to drive around and fun to take to the track and auto-x and the occasional trip to The Dragon.
The future will hold an M52 swap with a turbo followed after the swap. Shocks/Springs, Sways and bushing upgrades. Plastic bumper swaps and some other minor aesthetic exterior upgrades. Interior will remain mostly stock since it has a nice grey sport leather interior. Definitely will update the audio with some amps, sub and nice head unit with component speakers.
Will try to keep the sell phone pictures to a minimum but sometimes I don't want to bust out the dSLR to take a photo of a box of Bilstein Sports!
Here she is on the ride home!
