Fredrik The Convertible

Took some photos on my lunch break with some friends from class. =) Man does the e30 look so good!

She passed SMOG today! I didn't even have to fix anything =) and it was only $15 to transfer it into my name. I'd say today's a win!

God I love this thing. I can't wait to start fixing it up! I did install my auto dim rearview mirror I just need to grab a wiring harness for it and put on my BMW motorsport door handles =)

I believe 09/90 was the cutoff date for diving boards on verts. My 10/90 cabrio has/had plastics.

That could be possible? I'd love to get some euro bumpers for it. But that'll be in a few years when I'm finished with college and finally start my career.

My '92 has a 5/92 build date but my 2003 X5 had an 11/02 so I guess there is a cutoff for build date/model year.

I suppose there has to be a cut off, maybe you have the last diving board car?

Looks nice but I'm pretty sure 90 was the last year for diving boards on convertibles. (the pic in my sig is a 90 cabrio).

It says 1991 on the title but I just looked at the tag in the door and it's says 07/90 so I'm not sure how it could be titled as a 91? Weird lol

So it's been about 2 years since I've had a BMW and man am I glad to be back. Last time I was here I was on car number 3 (1994 530i 5 Speed) and two years later this e30 is now my 20th car lol. I picked it up Saturday night (8/19/17) in San Diego for $2,000. It's a 1991 325i convertible 5 speed manual! The guy said he was the 3rd owner and had owned it for about 4 years. It was his daily and he was ready to sell it or trade for a Honda.............. So I'm not really sure if he knew what was done to the car as he didn't advertise that it had lowering springs, cibie headlights with city lights, braided steel break lines, upgraded sway bars, and a strut tower bar. He did tell me it had a Turner Motorsport chip in it and he had the top replaced in January of this year. He also had receipts for the timing belt, water pump, and a few other maintenance items he had done last year. So far it runs great and I've probably put about 500 miles on it so far. The things I need to adress are a leaky valve cover gasket, no radio or speakers, speedometer doesn't work, coolant level sensor is bad, cruise control doesn't work, and there's no belt for the AC compressor. It needs a few interior pieces and it has a few dents but man does it drive great. I have plenty of plans and ideas of what I want to do to it but right now I'm going to fix all the little things and try to make it as OEM++ as possible.





And here are the pictures from the criaglsit ad.
