Yo
So after making a thread about helping me with a car, I ignored every single one of you
and bought one of my dream cars, a 1987 E30 325i Mtech1. I didn't realise I could afford one, until I looked, found a few ropey ones, then came across the beauty I've bought.
My uncle had one when I was young, and I loved it, every time he went out in it, I had to go with him. And I always said growing up that one day I'll own the same car as my uncle Martin, well, here it is! Only have the photos from the advert at the moment, and I pick it up next Sunday, I'm like a child at Christmas, can't wait for it.
Took it for a test drive on Saturday, and a full check over, had a three page list of things to go over and more or less everything was spot on. The car went through a more or less full restoration 4 years ago, so there is no rust at all, the paint is immaculate, the wheels are immaculate (and there's even a spare BBS!). The only thing it needs is a new radiator, as there is a tiny tiny leak in the current one, but this has been ordered already.
Spec is, 1987 325i sport Mtech1, original interior, which goes as far as the original tape player, original BBS alloys and stainless steel exhaust. It's pretty much OEM which is why I love it so much. For the past 4 years, it's covered 16,000 miles, only been driven in the summer and garage stored in wet weather and winter.
Plans are firstly for a WMS 4-pot brake set up, as I don't know if I can live with old brakes, they seem wierd coming from the R27 to these, maybe I'll get used to them, but I'd like to upgrade anyway. Going to enjoy it for what it as at the moment, and get used to having a RWD car.
Anyway, pictures!
