Here she is...

and comes with these:

Probably won't be long until I install the momo seat, basically until I figure out what tools I'll need to do it.

Sad thing is, she's still in North Carolina.. about a 9 hour drive away from where I'll be keeping her in NY. Planning on taking the trip down south within the next month.

The mechanic that's handling the sale is a member at VIR just across the border in Virginia.. there's a slight chance for a couple test laps

Dude, congrats man! I'm sure you'll have a blast with her, stay safe.

One of my friends has one, and it seems like a pretty fun ride to own.

It looks nice but you gotta give that gurl a wash and get rid of the checkered fog lights :good:

You should wash it before you take pics!

Nice car! My brother had one just like it

wow, another E30 here

as said - get rid of the red interior :lame: , steering wheel needs to be replaced for some sportier one and the sport-air filter needs some nice intake to take a deep breath - how about removing the left long-distance light?

those bumpers - ehmm - ewwwww

just like old Saabs

but DAAAAMN, what a nice MOMO seat

btw, how many bhp has the 325is version?

ARMAN · 11-09-2007, 10:09 AM

Are you guys crazy? Red leather is fucking HOT

just need to take care of it and it will be fine. Send the whole interior to me DMF I'd love to have it in my e30

Damn another JW'er have his 2,5

I need too!

Drive save and be careful - 170PS do bite

does it have LSD?

American bumpers look so awful

is there any way to change them for euro ones? I mean will it be legal? You can pick them up in Prague if you will come next year

Other than than - congrats!

and I thought that 325is is more powerfull than 325i?

EDIT: nope, just my wrong thoughts

"The 325is was an upgrade from the standard 325i, as some new features were added to the car as standard. These included the full electrics package, BMW sports seats, black roof-liner, BMW M-technic II body kit, BMW 14 inch BBS wheels and a Close Ratio gearbox. Other features also found on the 325is were options, however over time, some have been mistaken for standard features. These options include a Limited Slip Differential (LSD), leather interior, sunroof and BMW 15 inch BBS wheels. Options differed on vehicles produced in the United States."

As I mentioned, the car is still a 9 hour drive away. These pics were taken by the BMW mechanic who is handling the sale and prepping the car for the trip. Can't wait to give her a proper wash to see her shine. Will definitely spend some time takking some beauty shots.

I like the red leather interior, doesn't look too worn for a 20 year old. Good to hear the seat are easily removable.. I also plan on using the original drivers seat as my desk chair in my apartment, sorry Arman :\
I agree the "diving board" bumpers almost ruin the look, but they can be "pushed in" so they dont stick out as much.

Arman, I would LOVE some Euro chrome bumpers! Did a quick search to see how much I could find them for and didn't even see any for sale.. but I imagine they can easily be found in Europe.

Phobo, didn't even notice that llittle switch.. Have no idea what it could be for since it looks like it was installlled by the owner.

First thing I asked were if the fog lights still work.. hope they do, but if not, the checkered covers are going aand will become air vents.

Can't wait to drive her up north!!

Seats are on 4 bolts

5 minutes of work.
