My e30 325i

[stackede30]

Hey Guys

I recently bought a 1990 e30 325i Manual. I`ve had a couple e30`s and this is prob the best one i`ve owned lol. Car started out as a 1990 320i auto and the previous owner was looking for something with more power so he got Euro Engines in Malaga to put a M20B25 engine and manual box into it.

I`ve been told the car is a UK spec 325is engine which is a High compression engine. :boink:

Specs:

--Engine--
M20B25
K&N Panel filter
Manual
Short shifter

--Suspension--
Lowered
Front Sway Bar

--Brakes--
Brembo rotors


--Exterior--
17" inch rims
20% tint
red Front break calipers

--Interior--
Momo steering wheel
Volt Meter

--Audio--
Sony Head Unit
Sony front and back speakers

Car was booked into Independent BMW Service Centre in Bibra Lake on Tuesday for a full service, resetting of engine tappets and the replacing of the rear wheel bearings.

Also on the way which I hope will arrive this week are a Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake and a set of Ireland Engineering Cams.

Cheers man :)

The interior is pretty good the only thing that needs attention are my front passenger and driver seats,they are pretty badly torn up and the leather is all cracked :(

Been trying to source a nice set of front seats but no luck so far :( ,the dash has no cracks which on most e30`s the dash has some major cracks

I`ll take some pic`s soon

A little update:

Car has been at Independent BMW for the pass 3 days, Car died on me last week sometime. Turns out my Idle Control Vale is shot and my Crank sensor wasn't held up properly so it was getting caught up in my pulleys and the wiring has been all eaten away. Should be picking up the car today :]
