Obviously we still drive them today, but when did they stop being “regular traffic”? In the past year or so, I haven’t seen a single PT Cruiser on the road for reference… so would the last e30’s have been taken off the road in the late 00s? At least so far as a daily driver.
Pic above is my whip (1990 325i, manual 130k)
Recently I asked you guys if you had installed these LED headlights on your E30s, and that convinced me to buy them. Now that I have them, I have stumbled upon a problem. There is no bracket for the LED headlights, and I cannot think of a way to install them. I need some real help, please.🙏
Hola seen this pop up for 8,500 its a 5 speed with 263,000 miles. Fellow set me some photos and the frame is fine some little bits of rust on the body. High miles but m20 engines are reliable motors then the fellow is gonna take it to get inspected next week. My main question is there something im missing cause people are listening automatics with 200k miles for 12k near me me
visit notsoclassiccluster.com for the waitlist/newsletter,
limited to 500 units for the first batch.
Does anything seem off or broken here? the lock doesn’t seem to be mechanically connected to anything?
Also not sure if that’s how it’s supposed to look.
I don’t know what type of rims this is, is there anyone that happens to know what kind of specifications these rims has?
4 lug rims that are bolted to an e30 touring;
It stands borbet, made in Germany, jwl 91 26.
I had a lot of inquiries about have a black anodized version of the headlight toggle I had machined up for my car.
So I have had some made! Head over to the website to get yours!

I have been looking at this 1989 BMW E30 325ic for a couple of days now. It'll be my first BMW and manual car if I get it. It's a DEFINITE fixer up. It doesn't have a AC Compressor, broken driver seat buckle, broken lower dash panel and inner glove box, and other parts that would need replaced or added on. Besides the AC Compressor, majority of the engine is *supposedly* new, no major rusting, or any hazardous things that would make this a death trap. Once again, that I know of.
If I am serious about this, I am would drive it around and take it to a third party mechanic to see if they see anything wrong with it.
They are asking around 9k for it.
I am not totally sure if it's worth it.
After Just getting the car last weekend (wow i got a lot of reactions <3), i went to go and take a few photos today and she remembered that she is a bmw...
Luckely i was'nt driving and i was close to home so someone towed me back.
Did take a few good picture though!
Hey y'all!
So my e30 has been in the garage for about 4 years while i was doing some work on it (was a student then so had little money to get it back on the road) but i have noticed that it feels low on power.
I notice it most on straight stretches where it will climb up to 3000rpm and then start to pick up untill 4k rpm and then it really comes alive.
It also used to kick out the rear end pretty quick when i gave it some power in corners but now it stays planted. Its got new tires but even with the old ones on it it didnt want to play unless i pushed it to do a donut.
I know i have a little vacuum leak but i gave it the good old temporary fix so it shouldnt affect the driving that much (i think?)
It doesnt have any problems idling but when i shift down and come off power (like at a stoplight) it will kinda swing up and down a bit.
What it has installed/cleaned
- full custom exhaust (decat)
- coil on plug conversion
- injectors have been cleaned
- intake was cleaned with carb clean
I know the slave is on its way out, and i suspect that the clutch might be next but as its when im just doing a pul i figured that might not be the main problem?
What could be the issue?
Thanks!
After 3 months I think I finally got this fucking disaster sorted. You would not believe the amount of shit I had to do to get here. Well you probably would. When I got this car it was technically running. Technically.
