1991 BMW 325i Part 1: Saving an abandoned E30 that sat for 7 years

A new project car was the last thing I needed, but when I came across this 1991 325i in a tow yard, I couldn't resist taking it home.

I need some serious motivation to get mine up and running. Awesome content.

Thanks! I'll have an update on the car soon.

I think you won the lottery. Nice job.

[@VITOSGARAGE]

Awesome! Great Job! I do the same. Greetings from Washington state!

Have fun!

Awesome, another classic Bimmer saved!

Good find! This’ll be exciting to follow. Can you do a comparo with the 924S when it’s done? I’ve always considered the transaxle cars and E30’s the ultimate 80’s yuppie cars and it would be fun to see them stacked up today.

[@Retromod]

Yes, I'm definitely planning on doing a comparison with the E30 and 924 once I get some maintenance done on them. Their specs are surprisingly similar on paper.

E30 for $200 👀

Right place, right time is all I can say.
