New Owner Free Car - United Bimmer Community

Well I have never owned a BMW before, but I am inheriting an 84 325e with 90,000 miles, I like the fact that it gets good mileage, but I want to make it look a lot better. interior, exterior, body kit, wheels, and the such. I am getting this from my new wifes uncle who is moving to Oregon. I live in Central Cali, Merced. Anyone in the area, that can help me out let me know. The first things i will be doing are fixing the odometer, the small oil leak, i think an exhaust leak (new exhaust?), and then working on the interior and exterior, not much engine mods, want to keep mileage good. Anyway hello to all.

Check out the tirerack for wheels you can also look around there is another place called edgeracing but I think they do more tires than wheels.

As far as e30 body kits go there are still some out there a lot of people like the mtec kits but they are harder to come by. Sorry to plug another forum but e30tech usually has them a little more often but not a lot still. I believe bmp design (bmpdesign.com) also has an e30 body kit and I know there are some other options but in my opinion the e30 looks pretty good in stock form. You might want to consider tucking the Diving board bumpers though.

Enjoy the new ride and welcome to United Bimmer.

Welcome....ten days late that is.

Sounds like ur gonna get a sweet car. Thts really low mileage for an 84. Congrats.
might want to get a tms ECU chip. helps with mileage. Not sur eif you can get them for that year/model, but check it out.
