88' 325is daily driver

[ST1G]

Well, I helped a friend get into this beautiful car, we drove down and got it a few years ago, and he has enjoyed it ever sense. However his life style has changed and he was ready to get rid of it. So, now it's mine.The inbetween owner cleaned it up a bit. It's an 88' 325is, Canada spec. A Zinno just like my first e30, not going to lie to you guys, this one is a bit sentimental to me. Nobody knows the miles and I like it that way. The timing belt has been changed, however the clutch or something is on the fritz. It's got a nasty clunk downshifting.

It's lowered on billies and HR springs. It's got a pretty much flawless dash.

I picked up a brillientrot valance, spoiler, passenger fender, and front plastic bumper. Except for the spoiler those will probably all go on there. They won't match that well, but it will be OK for now.

Anywho, here are some photos.

Thanks mate. Probably won't do too much.

I do what I can. Lucky I guess.


Put on the brilliantrot front fender, bumper, and valance. Repainted the rocker panels. The fender really looks a different color, the front end however looks pretty good. I'll probably repaint a different fender to match better. I think a cut and polish of the rest of the car would also brighten it up and help it look a little closer.

looks great

Looks like a different car. The front end looks great!
Any ideas on wheels?

Awesome car man! I'm trying to do the same swap at the moment,... I am just waiting for the bumpers to arrive. Hopefully they won't take long as they are coming from the UK (Sskoda). Hopefully by the end of next week I'll have the swap complete.

Any long term plans for it, or are you just keeping it mostly stock?

[ST1G]

Thanks for the kind words John, Beckster.

Mostly planning on keeping this bad boy stock. I'm falling more and more in love with it though.

Here is a photo from her today, she is already looking loads better than when I got her.



PS. I picked up a 320is today. But I'm going to part it out so it's not really of any consequence.

You still have that upper valance/lower kidney/grill trim part from the early stuff? I needs one.

Shit man, I tossed it or it would have been all yours. If I come across a good one I'll snag it for you.

Got myself some euro weaves.




Went on a drive with my roommate/best friend/no homo. We just threw some single rounds on his 320is.

Just say yes to euroweaves!
