Hello all,
This is my 1992 BMW convertible I just picked up last night. First E30 and first BMW I've ever owned. I have big plans (don't we all) but I have a habit of getting ahead of myself so I plan on focusing on the immediate needs first while I start collecting parts.
This will be more of an ongoing journal to keep track of my progress for myself, but I enjoy using forums more than just posting on instagram or facebook.
Anyway here's when I pulled up to the sellers house, car was as I expected, little radiator leak and the battery was shot but no major dents and no rust.
So I bought it and here we are on the sellers street heading home with a leaky radiator.
Naturally had to stop for fuel which gave me the opportunity to take slightly better photos. My buddy in the background unsure on this tiny car, you can see my daily driver behind it.
Got it to it's home and took some better photos today. Quite a bit of work ahead of me.
The interior
First impressions;
The gear shifter is hard to get into gear, previous owner said he put a new clutch in so maybe I need to adjust the shifter or possibly rebuild it.
Definitely needs a new top.
Needs a really good detail.
Pulls to the right a bit.
Overall car was a blast to drive, and it felt super tiny on the road haha. I have spent a some time browsing the forums and am learning as much as I can on these cars. Any advice/tips are greatly appreciated.
