Hi all

Finally got another E30 after selling (stupidly) my last E30 over a decade ago!
The one I have is a big project for me, a 1988 325i 2 door saloon that has been sitting for 15 years that MAY be a Alpina?!!(TBC), bodywork in good condition (only rust in sunroof but whole car needs a respray), no bumpers or body kit, has houndstooth seats that need work, missing switches, original steering wheel and gear knob, engine starts but needs a light overhaul and wiring needs work,no LSD, but the wipers work!... I am still happy to have it!!

Apologies now for all the questions I will have and asks for parts while I restore it! A petrol tank is on my wanted list first

Hi
You're going to get bombarded with picture requests. We all like pictures and need to see it regardless of condition.

Welcome buddy,

Looks like its going to be a good project for you,

As for questions? Fire away, I'm sure we'll do our best to help where we can.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
