my first BMW - E30 325i

[bronze4door]

hi all thought i would start a thread on my new purchase

so my 325i






its a 1 owner car with 200k on it, all old MOT's are present and some service history with it, the body work wants a bit of a tidy up round the rear arches and scuttle

its not been on the road for a few years although it was MOT'd last year when it ran out in october and from its last MOT certificate it has only done 4 miles since

we have been underneath it on my friends ramp as a pre MOT inspection and it seems all good underneath although it does want a patch to one of the strut tops and both corners of the front scuttle have rotted through, also it doesn't have a slipper in it which is unfortunate

when i have been looking around at other E30 325's they all seem to be sports with alloys and bodykit and this has niether of those so i am unsure of what model this falls under

the plans are to get it through its MOT then i might have to sell it if i can not find cheap enough insurance as i already have 2 other cars insured and if it doesn't sell then it will get turned into a track car and used for sprint and hillclimb events

325i the correct way to go,

nice looking car that and the colours nice as well, is it calypso? if it were me id leave it totally standard with just some nice bbs wheels which came as an option from new.

looks like quite a lowish spec with the steel wheels, is there on board computer, rear blind or anything?

[dirtee-herbert]

im loving the colour.

looks like a great starting point for any project.

good luck with the MOT

i dont think there is a rear blind but there is a computer to check all the lights and everything work

[Rich320I]

thats an over head check panel bud, the computer will be where i presume you have an analogue clock instead.

cool car though, shadow line trim would look good aswell.

Cool, nice colour. As above, just wants some 15" BBS and a polish!
