E30 Zone

Hello all,

I owned a couple e30s in the past(12-15 years ago). I missed my old 325is so I bought another e30 to get back in the game. I picked up a 1991 325i sedan that was originally an automatic transmission based out of California. Couple of records indicates that it moved to Florida at some point and received a manual swap from a private BMW/Euro performance shop. It was shipped to Hawaii in 2019 and was acquired by myself earlier this year. Have many MILD plans to make this a clean and fun daily driver with most of the stock stuff as functional as possible. Also tons of maintenance to catch up on and a few things to repair because just driving it wouldn't be fun. More pictures to come if there is interest.

Sorry about the poor photo (out of focus etc) I am learning how to take photographs from my spouse.

Hi, welcome. More pictures would be great. Can't imagine there are many E30's out in Hawaii ??

Welcome to the zone mate and yes there is alot of interest in your pics
This has got to be the most remote E30 ever !!

Mart.

Surprisingly there is TONS of e30s and other classic cars out here. I have seen dozens without even going to a meet yet and they have a e30 facebook group for Hawaii. It had a few small issues when I bought it(still does) but just been trying to do one or two things a week. So far I have done the following since buying February this year.

Completed

- Replaced the antenna grommet and windshield wipers
- DND performance shift knob adapter (added my old weighted STi knob)
- Replaced the ODO gears with Garagistic replacements (that was a fun and worth the time job)
- Replaced the fog light bulbs
- Modded the hood to come off in 2 minutes instead of 10 and tons of time realigning to get back on
- Found an "i" front lip and reinstalled over the missing one

SOON TO COME

- Timing belt kit and BMW M20B25 tune up kit w/ oil change from FCP Euro
- Valve adjusment while going through the timing belt and tune up kit
- Yellow tint for the high beams and fogs (French Euro style)
- ????
- ????
- ???? What do you guys think should be done ????

I love the Hawaii licence plate.
