This build is right now my DD because... I'm poor Bahamas. So this is my dream BMW build but because of my lack of a large ammount of cash, its going to be long and mostly on a budget
Well since this is going to be a longer "build" I will give you the long back story first. My parents gave me a Plymouth voyager as my first car which I immediately traded for a 1989 GMC S-15 (great truck BTW). After about 6 months the tyranny shit the bed and I need to gwr a running DD as soon as possible. The great part of all of this was the tyanny died on the day I needed my truck to take 2 gocarts to a Guy down the road. I had only met him once at my brother in laws house and barley knew him but he said he wanted some go Katy's he would trade me a gun for mine. Anyway, I borrowed a friends truck and took the go marts down to this Guy and his entire front lawn was full of e30s. We started talking about them and I half joked about trading my newly usely truck and $300 to drive my favorite one home that night and without thinking or even seeing my truck he said sure. So I drove my poor little truck 23 miles on a blown tyranny to get my car.. for $300. The car I wanted was previously owned by a close friend of mine (ironically) but I still didn't know much about it other than the PO had taken well enough care of it to keep it in good condition. Anyway, here she is. A 1987 325is with 230xxx miles on it. Ran strong but needed new plugs the night I picked it up
Custom interior? I'm not sure but I know it was redone. Used to be tan
Drivers seat is black and mismatched. But it works
PO hit a tree... gave it this nasty scar.
Coolant resivoir off a different model.. I got the original one though (yet to be reinstalled)
Engine bay already looks better than this, but I have a feeling it will take a while to look. Great
So far I have put in new ngk r plugs in, smoked the tail lights, smoked the highbeam, put a fresh coat of black paint on everything black, installed aftermarket head unit, and infinity 12" and a 10" running on 280 Watts, weldded 2 magnaflow resonators in place of a muffler (old one was rusted through) and washed it about 15 times. Oh and changed all fluids. As of yesterday it needs a new pulse sensor which I'm picking up tomorrow. Other than, I'm just slowly working on turning to a speed demon. I will post updates and progress pics ASAP.
