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.
