My newest car, '89 325is

I still can't believe this car hasn't blown up...

I am also really, really surprised. Over 273k miles and counting.

For an update, just ordered Hawk HPS pads and some new rotors. I can't wait to try out the new braking power.

Need to update this thread. I just moved out to San Diego. I get to drive a fantastic canyon road everyday and it has exposed quite a few issues with the car. I have a nice pile of parts coming soon including a new radiator and electric fan.

Currently it is ugly as sin and has mismatched fenders and hood. Im debating whether or not to paint them right now.

A small update, I have the front end all back together and also have a spare set of front fenders to sand down and repaint.



Added some 15mm spacers to the rear on the ix weaves. Not the best picture to show it off though.


I also have a few new parts coming and a rebuilt drive shaft to install.

Haha, a lot of it is back together but, I'm really considering the M3 flares. And maybe a big turbo...

do it!! might as well the interior is stripped out already (or was last i saw it).

[325ix]

Ahhh, good times. Back when I had a reliable pos. Now I just have a pos.

I am seriously considering the M3 flares.

summer senior year???

Also, Rob is toying with idea of bolting on fiberglass M3 flares since his car is a rust bucket. I think we need to force him to go through with it and make a crazy race/drift bucket.

Flashback to that time we removed an entire ix drivetrain with a couple floor jacks and a skateboard

Well, car is back down after doing the headlights. Whenever I disconnect the battery it is usually slow to restart when reconnected. This time it wouldn't restart even with a jump. I'm at a loss for what's wrong.

Haha, I just got them installed.

The low beams work, when I hit the high beams the lows stay on and the driver side high comes on. The passenger side high beam stays off. :(
