I haven’t put up any pictures of my 1990 325i Sport since its restoration over the past year, so I thought it was about time I did.
I bought it about a year and a half ago as a cheap sport needing a lot of work, which it took! It has taken until now to basically finish it, and has been on the road for all of the time except this summer when the bodywork was carried out, and when the engine was done.
Here is a rough spec of the car:
- Dolphin grey 1990 Tech 2 Sport with 150k miles
- Heated black leather seats which have been re-trimmed a few years back
- Rear head rests + armrest
- Rear roller blind
- OBC
- Tweater speakers
- Lowered 30mm on eibach springs
- Remote central locking/alarm/immobiliser
- Electric windows/roof/mirrors
- Check control panel
- Map light mirror/black headlining/opening rear windows/tech 2 kit/LSD (i.e. sport pack)
- Vibe Component speakers/crossovers in the front, with a sony headunit and sony rear speakers
- Leather handbrake gaitor and handle, illuminated all in one leather gear knob
- Ski hatch
- Warning triangle/chock/tool kit/first aid kit etc
- Boot liner
The car has had a lot of bodywork carried out, and a re-spray. It’s had a top-end engine re-build, and practically half of its mechanics replaced. Its constantly serviced also!
Check out this thread for the restoration:

I have done most of the work (except body work) myself, and its taken ages!
Couple of random pics from the last year:
Pictures taken today after a wash but no polish (and its still a bit wet and damp so the cars still a bit wet in some pics)
The pictures havent come out as well as I expected, its a mint car, but the detail doesnt come over in the pictures annoyingly. One thing to do is re-furb the wheels.
Thanks
