Went and picked up this one from my unlce's friend.

I picked it up sight unseen. Nothing was known about it, expect that it was a 1990 3 series.

It is a delphin metallic 325i automatic 4dr with tan and black leather interior. Airbag, and everything seems to be electric except the seats.

My 540i is manual transmission, so it will be nice to have an automatic.

It's pretty damn slick for a free car. It needs to be washed BADLY. The paint is good enough to be saved. The interior has wear/discoloration but no major cracks. I plan to leatherique it.

It has newer tires, and full suspension rebuild within the last year. Also has new brake pads.

Timing belt broke, so I'm going to have to pull the head and get it re-worked or get a new head.

I think I'm going to wash the poor thing tomorrow morning. It is beyond filthy. Then I'll start looking into replacement M20's/head.

I have some interesting plans for it. But that will wait for when I get it running!

dish+dump+moar powah in the future for this one.


Here are some pics my sister snapped.

Should have bought it for a dollar. Now you have to pay taxes when you get your tag.

Swap the tranny. Looks really clean overall. Nice pickup and it being free makes it even better.

This one is going to stay auto until it fails. I swapped auto to manual in my 540i and it was not fun at all.

I have a 275whp goal on the e30, so it shouldn't be but a few miles before the tranny dies :goodjob:

Other than that, just some low offset wheels and a drop.


free cars FTW

good luck with it man

Thanks, I'm really stoked about it. I want to wash is SO BADLY. But I've decided to hold off until I get it running :D

we built a turbo e30 for a customer about a year ago, at 12psi it made 302whp, stock head, stock cam, stock intake, custom 8:1 pistons, stock shotpeened rods, 2.7 turbo diesel crank (stock forged piece).
he didnt need a build for that power though, he just wanted piece of mind.

if you decide to turbo, and to do it with a kit, do _NOT_ buy a turbo charging dynamics (TCD) kit. overpriced, home brewed kit thats not worth it, and he uses a rising rate fuel pressure regulator for fuel.

btw, 300whp in an e30 is _quite_ the experience :)
good find, thats a clean car!
