Picked up another e30

I picked up another beater 325is for this winter, we abused the piss out of the one last year. These cars are tanks and are a hell of a lot of fun in the snow with shit tires :wink: Look for it at your local TSD, RallyX, Ice Racing event :slight_smile:

Hereā€™s some pics of the one from last year, the new one is identical to it (with alot of the same terminal issues):

noice find. :tup:

I got a 325i, great beater :tup: good DD candidate

bmw4L nice pick

Dunno what it is about that car that makes me want to get one.

Maybe bec. they are cool?

very nice

what are the ā€œterminalā€ issues?

these cars are a blast in the winter. two winters ago I had a black 87, this year I have a black 85, lowered on bavauto springs, head shaved .020", chip, 2.5 throttle body, 8mm plug wires, modified 325i airbox w/k&n filter, 2.25" catback, e46 drivers seat, great stereo, studded snows, etc. All for $650!

It put down 121hp and 170 tq AT THE WHEELS, so Iā€™d assume somewhere around 145-150 hp, ~195-200 lbs ft torque

did you have HIDā€™s on your old one?

where the hell do you guys find these e30ā€™s??? ive been looking with no luck. I need a beater. I dont like driving my 328 through the winter.:frowning:

i love e30ā€™s. my room mate has one. it is so much fun. i would like to have one as my next car.

nice choice, neat little car. :tup:

that first pic is pretty good.

iā€™m with devin, i love that first pic!

congrats man - yeah, what are some of the typical issues?

timing belt! when they went to the dohc m50 for the e36 they went to a timing chain.

besides that, just normal little stuff.

turbociv- e30s are everywhere! just hit up craiglist autotrader and cars.com

r3vlimited.com has a shitload of them too. Iā€™ve seen a bunch for sale lately, within a 6 hour drive.

Iā€™ve always liked those e30ā€™s. I want one now.

you find another deal like that and donā€™t want it
i know someone who does
me :slight_smile:

god i want an e30 m3 so badā€¦

ive been looking all over myself and havent really found any e30ā€™s

i love those cars

edit: love the duct tape :tspry:

the e30 m3 sack riding is out of hand.

I loveā€¦ Lamp.

Yeah, I should probably get some photos of the one this year (though almost identical). Coldaccord, we thought the transmission was going out on this one, but after flushing it (PO left it near empty, thanks buddy!) and putting in some 85w-140 honey oil errrā€¦ :wink: It sounds mint again. The car needs bushings, and it has rust issues in a couple spots (the usual e30 fender, under drivers door etc). Itā€™s a great beater though, I loved the one last year which is why I picked this up. Iā€™m spending as little cash as possible on this thing though, just some basic maintenance (fluids, couple new hoses, plugs and wires :wink: thatā€™s about it). Anyway, I should be posting plenty of videos this winter. On a scale of 1-10ā€¦ E30!

heā€™s wanted one for as long as iā€™ve known him which is at least 3 years. i wouldnā€™t really call him a sack rider.
