Default My BMW 325is E30

Well I think I had already posted some pics of my car in the past, but since these ones are far better and the car is in better shape now I decided to share them with you.

Hope you like them. Car is MY 1989 and completely stock except for the Remus exhaust tips.

Custom shot is not the best quality since it wasn´t taken the same day nor with the same camera.

Nice E30. It looks like it'd be a blast to zip around in.

There are no E30 330s, maybe it´s a 325i Cabrio or maybe it´s an E46.

^And only a later E46 at that, after they got rid of the 328.

This car is beautiful and very well maintained even though it's almost as old as me! The E30 models are one of my favourite BMW builds.

IMO best non-M BMW ever, and im still hoping they return to this formula....(relatively) lightweight, NA straight six with just enough power to NOT need nannying TC, playful rear wheel drive with LSD, and a sexy exhaust note...all in all sexy as fcuk.

Beautiful car mate, brings back memories...learned to power-oversteer in one of those.

PS BMW did make an E30 333i, can't remember size of engine, but pretty sure it was a South African only model!

schnell318,

Are those the same 5 stud cross spoke rims that is shared by the E30 M3?

What size are the rims you have on ur 325is?

Very nice car you got there, the paint job on it still looks great, even after nearly 20 years.

Alpina rims, they seem to manage to look fabulous on everything BMW old and new, even the other style, and even a MINI.
