Ok, some of you know that I have this 90 325i manual. I had if for about 6 years now and its my baby. About 135000 miles on it.

I just ordered whole bunch of parts for it that I am gonna put on next week or so.

It was parked for the last year or so undercover and the other day i took it out and washed it.

The parts that I got:

H&R race springs
Bilstein Sport shocks
new clutch slave
new door seals
new trunk seal
new front suspension rubbers with control arms tie rods and sway bar links
rear sway bar links
16x7 BBS LM direct fit reps ( I had 17x7.5 Alpina reps on it before but sold em)
some 215/45/16 tires. Don't have those yet.

That's about it for now and then I'll see what else do i do to it. But those are the main things that I need to put on.

I will post after pictures when I am done. Oh yea and I am also gonna remove the tint.

Cool! The condition of that car belies it's age!

Pre-Bangle BMW's FTW!!!
 
I loved those pics that got posted a couple months ago. some of those bmw's are killer.
 
Oh yea. A little update: did the rear springs/shocks/sway bar links/trunk seal and then went to work. There was no time to start the front. Hopefully today will do the front too.

Ordered tires. Falkens Ziex ze91 205/45/16. Dont want any rubbing thats why didnt go with 215s.

must be fun working on your car!! its raining over here : (
 
I have had a TON of e30's...

I had a blast with a 325i manual... I could sit that bastard sideways for weeks!

I want to put an lsx in one... now THAT would be a riot!
 
love that style bmw. great choice in wheels (no surprise there).

i like the decision to remove the tint. they look great closer to stock form.
 
Thanks. Yea thats why i want to remove it. I might do a 50percent all around or 35 maybe. Lot of fun workin on it. Just dont have too much time. Didnt do anything today. Had to sleep to go to work. Maybe tomorrow.
 
Changed the suspension. The shocks and the rubbers were dead. Now pretty much all new :). Took if for alignment. Gonna pick in up in couple of hours. I like how the drop came out. Handling is badass.

How's the cost of ownership of that 3 series compare to something like the Lincoln?
 
Thanks, can't wait for the tires to put the wheels on. Did the alignment. drives so nice now. Need to do the clutch slave too.
 
That is a clean ass e30 man... put them wheels on and show us some pics!!!
