    Default 88 325is e30

    Whats everyones opinion about this car? Is it a good choice of a car? I will be buying one since they are somewhat cheap and all and I really love the way they look and all. Is there a somewhat large or ok amount of mods that can be done to them? Sorry for all the questions I don't know that much about BMW's I'm leaving hondas for bmws

    E30 325s are great cars. There's a ton of aftermarket support for them and even a dedicated Spec racing series, i.e. SpecE30. People have done s50 and s52 swaps, which are e36 M3 engines. As with any German car, keep up with the maintenace and it'll be a good car for some time.

    Deffinately a good car, not doubt about it. Just make sure you change the timing belt, and keep up with maintainence. I have seen some with 300k+ on the odometers. But there is one thing bad about them, not to many aftermarket parts. Good Luck.

    any e30 is a great car i have a vert i beat to death and its still running strong. and a turbo hardtop the is fast as balls. great cars but not as many mods as they go. its not like typing in honda performance you just have to look a little harder. yeah check e30 tech for tuning info. welcome to the cool side of the world
