Hi Guys, pics of my first 1989 325i sports...
Sorry bout the crappy pics...taken with phone...will put some better pics up soon...

Overall condition of the car is good. There are the obvious spots of very small rust under some parts of the kit, boot and on the wing mirror!!! Apart from that, the body is in good nick....

He means the base mounting plate has corroded / oxidised as they are aluminum, and obviously can't actually rust....

cheers guys...i've bin driving it around and im loving it!!!! These cars are awesome!!!

the rust thing, i ment exactly what E30Mark said/ment????

as for plans, i was wondering if its worth doing a Inspection I or II...the car drives well, but it seems to be jerky in 2nd and 3rd at about 2.5/3 revs!!! Could it be the spark plugs??? im not very mechanical....doh....Initial plan is to get the body free of rust and dents and then make sure the engine is running as it should...what did you guys do after you bought your e30's??? Service??? Inspection??? Im not sure what to do... I want the car to have a good solid reliable engine...
But absolute first thing im gonna do is get get new rubber all round...its hindering the handling!!! very confused on which to get (even after posting on the forum?!?!?!?!)
