M3 E30 Zinnoberrot & 318i Sahara Beige from Mexico
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2015 6:24 pm
Hello Everyone,
My name is Nick, from Uruguay actually living in Mexico.
Got the lucky to own two E30.
My first one it's a 1984 318i Sahara Beige and the other my unicorn a M3 Zinnoberrot.
Very happy with both, the 318i is stock made some upgrades like new interiors with recaro seats, changed brown interiors with black on sahara beige stitches and finally I got my hands on a set of 14 basketwaves that made the car look great (sitting on b4 blisteins and H&R sports).
The car was one owner and when he passed away his son didnt know what to do so he stored for a year and the he gave it to the Salvation Army.
Was in good shape, no rust but pretty negleted since the buyer abused from the car. In one year of ownership trow away 29 years of care. Incredible.
I gave the car an overhaul in a matter of maintenance and now its running great.
It's my DD and I really enjoy it, been 5 speed its pretty good in highways despite the low powered m10 engine.
Now entering in Motorsport business, well has 76xxx miles, third owner (actually second just parked the car away for 3 years and put less than 3k miles in that time).
I'm giving all the TLC the car needs, doing the maintenance that was neglected (since the car wasn´t moved they though they didn't need to change fluids or so).
So in the past 7 months I've been pretty busy doing my homework on this beauty.
Already changed all filters (oil, fuel, air), sparks, ignition coil, ignition wires, distributor rotor & cap, oil, brake fliuid (put stainless telfon hoses), new coolant reservoir, coolant sensor, oil pressure switch, intake gaskets, intake boot, coolant hoses, new hydraulic steering hoses, hi performance cat with centerline from VSR ... and sure I'm missing something.
Well the car now idles better, passed smog test, its used on weekend and local official BMW Club meetings.
If you want I can post more pics, just dont want to charge too much this presentation.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this.
