Hey everyone! So I recently bought myself a 1988 325i Touring. I've always wanted an e30 wagon and it took a while but now I have one :) I'm from Portland and the car was in San Francisco so I had to fly out to get it.
I asked 2 friends to check out the car before I flew out and saw it in person. They called me after they checked it out and I decided a few hours later to buy a plane ticket to at least see it in person. I flew down there and of course it was love at first sight :-D
I decided to buy it on Saturday 11/29 and drove over to Sacramento. I stayed there until Monday and then drove home. (Huge shoutout to arthurmdk...he's on these forums. Great guy..helped me out a lot and let me stay at his place for a few days).
So anyways the car isn't perfect...but you can't expect perfection from a 26 year old car. It just needs some love but it survived the trip back to Portland with no fuss!
It's a 1988 325i Touring with the MTechII bumpers. It was originally Auto but swapped to 5speed before it was imported to the US. LSD was also installed at that time.
~140k miles
Here's some pictures:
