just trying to mix things up a bit. :hugegrin:
i DD a 1987 BMW 325is, and if you ask me, it's high on the list of greatest cars ever made. when you consider the fact that over 2 million E30 3 series cars were made world wide, and that the E30 chassis M3 is THE most winning car in racing history, it can't be that bad. it's my 2nd one, and i hope to have another, cleaner example someday.
the car currently has 154k on it, it's a 2.5 inline 6, 5 speed manual. LSD, sport seats, 3 spoke steering wheel are all from the factory. with snow tires and 50/50 weight distribution, i pray for snow on a daily basis.
I wash it every time i change the oil. so twice in the last 21k miles. lol.
and yes, i roll snow tires year round. i can never wait long enough for the snow to roll around.
lost the passenger side fog light last year in a snow covered parking lot. plowed through about 14" of snow doing about 40mph. zipties are a close friend. they're what holds the front valence on the car.
i would say that the seats rival any newer sports car in terms of support/comfort. i didnt pay much for them either, as the interior was nasty old tan when i got it.
aside from that, i roll a Thule rack with a cheap basket in the summer months.
i have some recaro seats i may toss into it eventually. but i plan on lowering it a few inches and running some 16x9's all around. currently it has fresh control arms, tie rods, urethane CAB's, brembo blanks, axxis ultimates, ATE blue, SS brake lines, etc. i have a pile of parts waiting to go on it when it goes real low. picture nice, WIDE wheels, shitty looking car, OEM BMW mudflaps scraping on the ground. i wouldnt hesitate hopping in it right now and driving to mexico. it will do anything i ask, and it handles decently well.
i know it's pretty "out of the ordinary" around here, but as ugly as it is, i think its a gem.
before i end this post, i'd just like to point out some of the "features" that many modern cars don't even come equipped with. the on board computer does a lot of shit. for example:
avg mpg, avg speed, temp, date/time, litres left in the tank, etc. theres even an option to set a code so that valet guys cant destroy your shit.
i just thought i'd share something a little bit different. the car is an utter blast overall. its not super fast, it doesnt handle the best, but it's an overall package. i've driven MANY cars, but this one is more fun than any of them.
