my 5th bmw

[magicandmisc]

Here is my latest addition.......
1990 325i
I just picked up the car a couple of weeks ago
It came with:
M3 springs and Bilstien Touring Struts
Dinan Chip
New ReUphostery
Sony Head Unit with Sony Speakers
And Gun Metal Basket Weaves
Hella H1/H4 Conversion Headlights.
Everything is working on the car right now and im getting 178whp so im pretty happy with that.
I plan on replacing the driver's side impact strip and fog light lense and thats about it for the cosmetics.
I have about $2000 to spend on this car so I am open to any suggestions and comments about my car.

[OneSlow5pt0]

i like it

[turb0teg]

so why did you get rid of all the other ones?

Coilovers. Not springs, not sleeves, but coilovers.

[Benefit]

i love e30's

[sogood]

I'd get an IS front chin spoiler and an IS rear trunk lip spoiler, too.

[magicandmisc]

yea i was thinking about the 'is' lip spoilers

[Crazy Asian]

dude you need some bad ass rims. Seriously those mesh...never work on the bmw unless there BBS. I've always like the 5 spoke massive lip on those cars.

[magicandmisc]

yea i was thinking about rims, but i would like to focus more on the mechanics of the car rather than the cosmetics (when talking about spending a lot of money)

[GSRteg®]

I like it man.

[ironchef]

Looks to be in good shape for a 17 year old car, good luck with it.

[Fr33way]

I think the car looks badass as is.

Don't do shit to it.

Except removing the Georgia plate. Takes away from the car. Seriously. Anything more will be a waste. Car is beautiful as it sits. Later, QD.

[Sol-Badguy]

I'm going to have a agree with QD.
Mod it, and the value will drop on such a nice car.

[joesblk_teg]

slam it IMO

[turb0teg]

ground control coilovers, then take them off for the next E30 when you sell it.

[cactusEG]

thats a fucking nice BMW...

[OneSlow5pt0]

i agree w/ QD too,to nice of a car....and i like the wheels

[magicandmisc]

thanks

Washed and Waxed today

Ah, I love e30's. This one looks awesome and it's already got some good stuff in it. If anything, I'd just put a little lip spoiler on it...but otherwise, this car is perfect.

[speedminded]

Really good tires (Azenis 615's, etc.), upgraded [anti-] sway/roll bars, IS lip...it will practically be a differant car.

If you really want differant wheels i'd suggest the team dynamics or oem E36 M3's

i would love e46 m3 wheels, but i have to think 4 lug
and im thinking about the IS lip spoiler for the rear but it would scrape everywhere i drive if i had the front one.

FRont bumper

it just needs an impact strip for the drivers side

[quicksylver]

Unless you do a 5-lug conversion(pretty expensive) you're kinda limited on wheels, there are sometimes good looking stuff on ebay...other than that you're shit out of luck....Nice car BTW... if its got an open diff, i'de change it, a little suspension work and that may be it...my boy just finished his 5-lug conversion on a 91 325is, we dropped an S50 eng in there too, little shit moves...there's a lot you can do, just depends on the pockets and if you feel the car is worth putting all that money into it....good luck! here is my boys car.

[magicandmisc]

damn sexy

[Nissangeek]

Gorgeous car. Always loved the E30s. They make good rally cars with a little work. I'd keep the look mostly stock but beef up the suspension and engine and keep the wheels.

[AnTi-PooN]

boost it

[magicandmisc]

boost it

after college, im trying to keep my mods under $2K

[Driftk1d350z]

sweet ass car! love all your other bimmers but this one is top notch!

[snatch]

i love e30s.

[Hundo®]

best advice you'll get: to avoid wasting money on foreign over priced parts and obvious problems that will happen, SELL IT.

[sleepys4]

^^lol at that, i have been there.. But i like the BMW. I say better wheels and tires and some suspension work and your set. Good look with everything. Also do you know Logan.

[Jin]

With 2 grand you wont get an S50-S52 but stuff a non vanos M50 in that bitch.

Best 2 grand you'll ever spend.

Clean car. I love e30's.

[Pavlo]

Thats really nice, I used to have a 325e, I actually still have the is spoiler that was supposed to go on it, let me know if you want it.
E30s are really awesome cars.

5 Lug conversion is a bling mod. It is pointless and stupid. What does it give you? A better choice of wheels that are too big for the car?

The car will handle better on 15s than it will on 17s. 225.50.15 in either an Azenis 615 or Hankook zz2 is what you need and all you need. Rims that fit this size tires are plentiful. In fact I have one set on my e30 now and another set in my garage. 16s are even just a touch too bi but not too bad.

and while your boys car does look decent. The wheels look way too big and it is jacked up now... 15s on a slammed e30 with 225 tires tucked is the way to go if you are going for looks.

If you are going for performance then 15s with 225s and a decent spring/shock combo with some upgraded sways and replace all the bushings so they are fresh is the way to go.

Cliff Notes:

5 Lug swap on e30 is for bling. There is no real benefit.

Are you retarded? I think that is the most uneducated single dumbest post I have ever read.

Please explain sir? I would LOVE to here your response...

My 89 325i has 200,000 miles. Everything works. It passed emissions with 1/20 of the limits. It gets almost 30mpg on the highway(I bet that is better that that shit box 350z in your sig)

PLEASE explain your retarded comments. PLEASE!

[magicandmisc]

thanks for your input dinan

[DR_Imports]

I'd just say keep the car as simple/clean as u can:

- 16" rims
- Lose the windows tint
- always keep it wash/waxed
- h.i.d
- trunk spoiler (small M3 one)
