Jul1 15 Report post Posted November 27, 2022 Hi guys, I’m new here, just bought a pretty original 1986 E30 325i. Really happy with it, and it reminds me of my 1986 318i (mm6046), that I owned 19 years ago, and wished I’d never sold it! I flew to Hamilton to pick it up last weekend, and drive it home to Canterbury, mostly trouble free. It was a great time. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll have plenty of questions coming up, and certainly a few photos too! Looking forward to it! 14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jul1 15 Report post Posted November 28, 2022 Thanks! Yes, I really like the Colour too. The boot lid has be repainted, not well, but the Colour is right. Something to sort another time. I plan to keep it as original as possible, which should be easy, after a good groom up and a few bits of trim fixed up. Had a mostly good run from Hamilton (1060kms), over 2 days with my son, with the main issue being blocked fuel pick up on the in tank fuel pump. Unfortunately the tank has a rust problem, and the pump is still the original. Dropped the tank out yesterday which was a bit of a mission, so I’m guessing it will need resealed as I imagine a used rust free tank would be hard to find? I’ll replace the fuel pump with a new unit too. Engine seems strong otherwise. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
