Couldn’t agree with you more. Original like this can’t be beaten! Beautiful original car. Respect to the former owner. Treat this survivor with respect 👌🏻
Your enthusiasm and absolute joy had me smiling while enjoying your video. I too own a very minty E30 325is 5-speed and they are an absolute joy to look at and drive. I'm so very happy for you! Congratulations.
JAYZUS! 😲 That would be a 20 grand plus car in the UK. Maybe more. To find one with cruise, air, sports seats and a 25% slipper is pure gold. The missing toolkit thing is the white plastic adaptor for the emergency window crank if the motor fails on the E28 - it has the same tool tray as the E30.
You gotta love the E30! Beautiful classic bodystyle.. 🥰 Have a great memory from the late -90:s when we drove home from school in a classmates sisters 1985 325i coupe and another mates mothers Peugot 205gti... they started to race at130mph... Maybe not the smartest at 15:30 on afriday afternoon, but we were18yo so....
Hi, I am following you from Switzerland. Also owns A 325i Convertible RoyalBlau, last belt drive change, my garage told me it was time to do it, and the belt only had 5 years and 10k kilometers. I guess you cannot see the cracks on belt until you get it in your hands. Very nice car otherwise, with interesting options (big OBD). Have fun!
Regarding the creakiness, it’s the same with my M Roadster. When the top is up, I hear a lot of little creaks here and there. But when the top is down, I hear none of those creaks. The S52 motor drowning out all other noises also helps haha.
Same with my e46 cabrio… I hate driving it top up, sounds like an empty box truck, but it’s my absolute favorite top down. Feels smoother too for some reason
I have a 91 325i vert. Auto with tan. Bought off the original owner in 2010. Paid 2000 dollars for it. Had 50k miles. Garage kept, no snow. It’s sitting at 100,000 now. It’s all stock just maintenance items. I daily it most days in the summer. It’s a dream car for me. I’d like to manual swap it. But it’s too nice to molest. I’ve been wanting to sell it but I’m always on the fence. I had the paint touched up in a few spots in 2016. Otherwise it’s original paint.
on a little different note. i am going to refresh a M30B34.. I need to buy a engie stand.what tips can you tell me for buying and using a engine stand for M30 engine?
Had timing belt replaced at 12 years instead of 10 as it had only done 45k miles and the replacement miles is at 100k. The mechanic said that the years def have to be taken into consideration too...
Yo change that t belt PLEASE😂. I found an 89 with 67k. Same deal where I just literally drool on all the fresh e30 stuff but I did the OG timing belt and it’s condition gave me full anxiety
Your cab sounds so smooth. I manual swapped mine, it had an lsd but autos come with a 4.10 which is too noisey, even just cruising around yours was much quieter cause it’s a 3.73. Lots of cabs had LSD for some reason, have you checked yours?
Car is in exceptional original condition. Love the E30. Wish I would have pulled the trigger years ago when still cheap for a good example. Not anymore…
got a e34 question. im looking into using my rusty 540/5 touring as a donor for a clean 525i touring. what are my obstacles on this project. i’ve heard people done it before but not finding any proof on it. i’ve heard it’s a direct front & rear subframe swap but wiring is what i need to look out for. anyone reading this comment lmk i’d love to document this & post to facebook as i try complete this swap
The car looks mint. Man they don't come along often. I remember my old Datsun 180B I had. 56k kms, mint orange paint and white vinyl roof and I knew every single piece of history on it, I even knew the original owner and his family. Kinda regret selling it. Off-topic but my E12 has a wandering tendency sometimes. The steering doesn't always feel direct and I think it's alignment but I also think it's more than that. Could the steering box be loose or something else? Bushings in the rear? Or do E12s just feel like this? I'm at the point where I actually don't feel all that great driving it, especially when it's wet as I sometimes suddenly need to pull the wheel to one side due to the wandering. Thoughts?
Im thinking of buying the exact ssme red car needs a new passenger door and a few bits doing would you say its worth restoring one of them? Thanks gary
Hi from the UK. I have a 318i brilliant red convertible, black leather under 30k miles, i owner (car has been in our family since new) . Looks similar to the one you posted here and the dashboard is not cracked. Happy to post pictures if you share your email address
Nepo babies make me sick. My daddy did this, my daddy did that.what ever. Now my bmw 325i 1987 convertible 5 speed manual transmission is a freak of nature cause I got it myself . No help from daddy.

Thank you so much Robert!!! Absolutely amazing cars to own!
It looks just like mine! Mines an 86 e30 325ic! And it’s red!
Love seeing how clean this is.....I recently replaced my gas tank...it looks just like this one.

Hahahsh thats an awesome story!
Amazing time capsule! My grandparents bought one of these new in 1990 - glacier blue metallic/tan with an auto. I've wanted one of my own ever since.
They are so special in this condition!

on a little different note. i am going to refresh a M30B34.. I need to buy a engie stand.what tips can you tell me for buying and using a engine stand for M30 engine?
The harbor freight stand with 4 wheels is fine!
With the hardtop, its gona look so crazy
Facts bro!!!
I want to know how much you got it for so bad. But I guess a gentleman never tells.
Gentleman neverrr tells! ;)
BS
Truly incredible microphone setup
Hahahahah
You should get a hardtop to put on it!
It came with a hardtop hahah
@@m3nameisjosh464 sick! I’ve been struggling so hard to find one for mine
This is in pretty incredible condition.
What the Hi-Low value of that vert? I'm redoing a 91' black/black/black. Any suggestions on sourcing parts?
This is the kind of car you can pass onto your Kids, KEEP IT !
I know man!!!😭

Im definitely aware of this! Time over mileage!

@@naterichard171 its a 3.07 lsd!
3.07? Where the heck did that come from I wonder?? E30 manuals got 3.73 and autos got 4.10 ETAs got 2.9 something auto and 2.79 manual from stock
@@naterichard171 no idea its an all original car 😭
Car is in exceptional original condition. Love the E30. Wish I would have pulled the trigger years ago when still cheap for a good example. Not anymore…
I know dudeee
Mine is a 167,000 mile 1987. automatic. How it goes.
Beautiful!
What a cool car Josh! Well done 😅
Thanks Sean!
Got damn where do you find / fund these cars
Find them through lots of market and local scouring!! And one car funds the next!
got a e34 question. im looking into using my rusty 540/5 touring as a donor for a clean 525i touring. what are my obstacles on this project. i’ve heard people done it before but not finding any proof on it. i’ve heard it’s a direct front & rear subframe swap but wiring is what i need to look out for. anyone reading this comment lmk i’d love to document this & post to facebook as i try complete this swap
The subframe and brake booster setup is biggest things that need to be swapped. Electrical im unsure
@@m3nameisjosh464 just found online a e36 obd1 & obd2 m60/m60 wiring harness swap for $200!
Anyone who hates on a vert just needs to grow up there so clean
Exactly!!
Minty E30 minty josh 😝
Yes it is!
Great find. In Australia it would be worth $50k+
Maybe ill sell it there! Lol
Such a beauty❤

Mine does this and its definitely got worn bushings all around. Thats my best piece of advice haha
@@m3nameisjosh464 Thanks man. Sounds like if you fix your issue, then I fix mine or vice versa. We'll see what happens!
The only thing I would do is euro headlight grilles and euro bumpers.
...and proly 15" basketweaves ✌️
Im thinking of buying the exact ssme red car needs a new passenger door and a few bits doing would you say its worth restoring one of them? Thanks gary
early model bumpers and tail lights but its a 1990?
Verts went plastic bumper mid 91 model year
@@naterichard171and taillights?
Yup full late model treatment. Looking at closed BAT sales is the best record of model year changes and original examples
Thanks for the knowledge!
Yup this is why im subscribed
❤️🤝
70,000 miles, and never been out of a garage...
Must have been a helluva garage...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am so jealous. Wow
Josh just don’t miss
Never!!!
Its crazy that u got so distracted with the car that u didnt even ask the owner about his time travel machine
HAHAHAHHAHA
Are you selling this beauty?
Sold. Now owned by Draymond Green of the Golden state warriors
Do u think the 135is a worthy successor?
135?? Like the modern car?
How much you planning on selling it for.?
Going live on BAT in a few weeks
5 quarters and a dime cash in hand right now. Let me know.
🤣🤣🤣
Man you got a unicorn that’s all I’m say 🤧🥹
Love the ride! Im still prefer a dirty 5 series to a clean e30. No offense to the women out there, it just always seemed to be a girls car😂
Hahahaha
Let’s go!!

You definitely need to work on your German pronunciation. "Rot," the German word for the color red, is pronounced like "wrote," not rot as in spoiled.
