Ok, some of you know that I have this 90 325i manual. I had if for about 6 years now and its my baby. About 135000 miles on it.

I just ordered whole bunch of parts for it that I am gonna put on next week or so.

It was parked for the last year or so undercover and the other day i took it out and washed it.

The parts that I got:

H&R race springs
Bilstein Sport shocks
new clutch slave
new door seals
new trunk seal
new front suspension rubbers with control arms tie rods and sway bar links
rear sway bar links
16x7 BBS LM direct fit reps ( I had 17x7.5 Alpina reps on it before but sold em)
some 215/45/16 tires. Don't have those yet.

That's about it for now and then I'll see what else do i do to it. But those are the main things that I need to put on.

I will post after pictures when I am done. Oh yea and I am also gonna remove the tint.

Nice!!!

You have a hell of a collection of cars, LS, AMG... BMW!!!

Cool! The condition of that car belies it's age!

Pre-Bangle BMW's FTW!!!

Cars don't age in So Cal...

That's a good body style. The drive through garages are the best.

I loved those pics that got posted a couple months ago. some of those bmw's are killer.

Oh yea. A little update: did the rear springs/shocks/sway bar links/trunk seal and then went to work. There was no time to start the front. Hopefully today will do the front too.

Ordered tires. Falkens Ziex ze91 205/45/16. Dont want any rubbing thats why didnt go with 215s.

I have had a TON of e30's...

I had a blast with a 325i manual... I could sit that bastard sideways for weeks!

I want to put an lsx in one... now THAT would be a riot!

Love how there is no snow, people are posting about putting their ls away for spring but not me :D

love that style bmw. great choice in wheels (no surprise there).

i like the decision to remove the tint. they look great closer to stock form.

Thanks. Yea thats why i want to remove it. I might do a 50percent all around or 35 maybe. Lot of fun workin on it. Just dont have too much time. Didnt do anything today. Had to sleep to go to work. Maybe tomorrow.

Changed the suspension. The shocks and the rubbers were dead. Now pretty much all new :). Took if for alignment. Gonna pick in up in couple of hours. I like how the drop came out. Handling is badass.

got the wheels on. Looks good i think. Wish they were stagerred.

:cool:

im not a huge fan of that body style of bmw's but that looks awesome the wheels were a good choice for sure

Thanks. Will wash it soon and post some new pictures.

Big brake kit wheels.

Yeah, that's it. That's what I meant... :shifty:

Wheels look great on there. I agree that staggered would look better, but those are still great for the car.

I like it much better without the super dark tint. But maybe 50 would look nice too.

Wheels look great!

Once again... Much better style before the bangle got ahold of em... :(

The E30 M3 is sex on wheels

Once again... Much better style before the bangle got ahold of em... :(


Thankfully, Bangle has gone from the car industry.

Good riddance!

:waving:

Yep. True that.

some updated pictures. :)

is that Europe? could have fooled me :D

Haa. I know. Its a nice place isn't it?

Nice. I like the color of the car.

I didn't know that there was anyone left in california that still had a job......

I dont get it :confused: . What does his beemer have to with jobs?

Thats pretty random Sweets.. Alax, somewhere on the first page, Hyelife said he didn't get the work on the car done because he had to sleep so he could go to work.

Nice! That car is in great shape!

Who produces replicas for those BBS wheels? Are they BMW-fitments only?

Very clean and very sweet lookin E30!

I owned two, an 87 325i and 89 325i white and red at the same time. fun little cars. tough engines. electronics were crap, plastics were kinda crappy too. the iac valve was a problem. I spent more on repairs in my LS than those two cars combined.

Thanks.

The wheels are from a group buy that made em special fitment in this car's bold pattern. Dont know the exact brand that made them, i know they shipped em from UK.

Didnt have too many problems with mine actually in 6 years. Alternator, couple of hoses nothing major.

Did have a cracked electrical board that caused the blinkers not to work. Other then that its all good.

Fun factor is very high especially in a lowered car with new suspension. Feels great to drive it.

looks great. Man..those were the cats meow in the mid to late 80's. STill looks good. howeveer, I actually preferred them with the larger chrome (eek) heavier bumpers. Made the whole car look more "substantial" I guess.

I remember when I first drove on when I was 13-14. It was a 1983 318 non-injection and with a 4 speed manual. Mann did I love it or what??? And with a big 6 cylinder its a whole different animal.

The one I think that looks the best is a pre 88 with M-tech I kit on it. Like this one.

I like that widebody in front of it in that last pic!

That's a good looking car!

I liked the pic you posted last year of a super-slammed blue e30 with the aggressive rim and tire package.

That guy has some new even sicker wheels on it.

18" staggered Alpinas. This car has 5 lug convertion so you can fit any wheel u want pretty much.

NICE! :cool:

Oh yea, I enjoyed it big time today on the twisties.

Went to San Pedro with my friend today. I think the pictures came out ok. I need to work on that camera a bit to see what's what.

Enjoy.
