Back in black BMW e30

Those are actually e38 comfort seats...they look huge in there lol. Looks like a decent start tho man!

oh really? Didn't know that.

They are ginormous and will be for sale after I find a clean tan interior to replace them with.

So here we are. A black 1986 BMW 325.

This is my third e30 and I finally have my dream color. The first was bahama beige, the second was zino red, and now finally schwarz black.

Here she is the day I got her.

















"Mtech" shifter boot, adds at least 10 hp right?



Anyways, when I bought the car it had a busted up hood because the PO ran into the back of a trailer hitch. That ruined the hood and the radiator and the kidneys.

The mods already done to the car include:

Stainless steel heads (ebay? idk)

High flow cat

Borla muffler

some sort of chip (no idea what kind)

H&R lowering springs with Bilstein shocks

15" K1 Aluminum racing wheels

Pioneer sound system

Electric seats out of a 5 series

Pretty sure that is everything. Anyways, I spent the day cleaning her up. Sprayed some degreasing in the engine bay and by some I mean a lot. Took the pressure washing and sprayed out the bay and undercarriage the best I could. Then I washed the car then buffed then waxed. Here are the results.









I'm still cleaning her up as I type this. I just got really tired and this is my way of taking a break. Next up for cleaning is the interior.

My plans for the car in somewhat of an order are the following.

Clean the exterior- done

Clean interior

Normal e30 maintenance (timing belt, water pump, etc)

Pass inspection.

Replace much needed parts

chrome kidneys
hood
all seats
dash
turn signals
headlights

wheels (bbs rs or oz futura still can't decide)

Bags or GC coilovers

s50/52 or m60 swap

That's kind of the plan so far, just a rough draft though.

Now before I get lazy it's time to get back to work, thanks for reading.
