Hello I'm the new Guy

Hello from Florida. My father gave me a 1998 325is that was sitting under a tree for God knows how long. When I opened the thing it had frogs and lizards living in it. I had to do a lot to it to get it running here is the list of stuff I did to it.

Timing belt
Water pump
Valve adjustment
New battery
and of course an extensive cleaning since the car was abandoned for a while.

After I got it running I had to paint it my favorite color "orange" its my first paint job I'll attach pictures you all can laugh at when I figure the resizing thing out.

Have a nice day!

Sounds like you got it well in hand, resurrecting one of these can be a pain, but more often than not just being determined will do it. Congrats

Not sure what you mean by "timing belt," these engines have chains. Similarly, I don't believe the valves are adjustable.

I love this car the balance of power handling and braking is perfect. I recently got original BBS rims from e-bay and they weighted 13 pounds a piece. this alone has changed acceleration and handling quite a bit compared to the OZ 17" wheels I had on it.
