i thought i had kicked the car bug but along came a car i have known for 15 years now. i couldnt pass up the opportunity to purchase the car.

its a 1990 e30 325i sport, totally standard and in mint condition. apart from bilstein shcks and springs

first thing was to buff the car annd a couple of coats of dodo juice

long term plans are stainless manifold and centre section and an induction system. tidy the underneath up, repaint the front spoiler and boot.

a few pics comments please guys

Look's tasty in the pics.

Induction system is best left standard. No if's or but's!!!

Tubular manifolds can be a great mod depending on make. If its cheap then its worthless. Don't waist your brass.

Tyres should be 205,55x15 mate.

All the K&N will do is suck hot air in. Exactly what your engine doesn't want.

OEM air box and OE filter is far and away the best induction system for any BMW
