New to me 29k mile E30

Awesome find! Like above, I'd recommend all fluids (including a brake/clutch flush, as the fluid is hydroscopic and will have absorbed moisture), brake soft lines, coolant hoses should be inspected, untouched rubber bushings are poetically hard and should be replaced, and the aforementioned inspection to see what else. The tires would be something in particular to check. She is just as important as condition; after 5 or 6 years, the rubber gets hard and the tires are less effective/safe. There will be a date code on the sidewall.

Well, if it's been sitting, as I suspect a 29k mile car was, I'd change the timing belt, vital fluids and do a complete inspection of the car to determine what else needs doing. A low mileage car like that one may not ever have had brake soft lines done, so consider that as well.

Just acquired a 29k mile, two owner, full service history 1990 E30 convertible.

In reviewing the history I see lots of oil changes, brake flushes, coolant flushes, timing belt. Shocks and struts were done 7k miles ago, front control arm bushings in 08, at 24k miles, rear stabilizer links at 26k 4 years ago. A/C was converted to R134a in 2014.

What I don't see is rear diff oil, manual tranny oil, air filter, spark plugs or brakes. Car drives great, what would you tackle first?
