Not a Focus but I still keep mine - Focaljet

**metal_til_deth** · 02-05-2008, 07:54 PM

Hey guys it's been a couple months I search for an E30 and I finally found one yesterday and I bought it for 750$ here are some pictures:

It a 325iS, manual, with a 6CD changer in the trunk (an original BMW system from a later gen), sunroof (metal) it needs brake on the four corners and better winter tires
My Focus (from last summer)

post your opinion!

I didn't mention but the engine is a M20B25 (2,5L) it has 168hp I didn't try it hardly cause without brakes and braking with compression its kinda freaky to push it lol

**steveo27** · 02-05-2008, 08:43 PM

M20 swap? really... pix please.

**Majikal** · 02-05-2008, 09:14 PM

Welcome to the family! Ive got an e30, m42.

PM me for some e30 forums

**hEaT** · 02-05-2008, 09:16 PM

Nice. Always loved the E30's.

**brads03zx3** · 02-05-2008, 09:58 PM

Is there anything wrong with it besides that little bit of maintenance? I have been looking for e30's for quite some time but that is a killer deal. Very nice

**Contraband** · 02-05-2008, 10:02 PM

Jeez, I wish I could find an e30 325is for $750! Congrats, I like my Focus but I'm a BMW guy at heart.

**Nliiitend1** · 02-06-2008, 12:27 AM

blurr3d, one of the members here, also has a 325is. I think his is an '86. He bought it, got it in good running order, and then gave it to his dad to drive since he needed a car. Those things are great old cars!

**ZXTHR33** · 02-06-2008, 12:53 AM

I really like that car and you can't go wrong for $750! What are your plans for it? Future mods?

**metal_til_deth** · 02-06-2008, 07:10 PM

The engine isn't a swap it's the original one I'll try to take more pictures later... the guy who sold me this nice lil car was tired of having it sitting in his apartments garage when he put the ad of it it was 2k bucks then he dropped to 1200$ i came and look at it for a second time and dealt it to 750$

I'm going to inspect it more carefully in a couple minutes apparently it need brakes on 4 corners and tires ill see if it needs anything else... My project for the moment is to get it safe on the road then later if it goes through the winter I may get it a set of bilstein sports and H&R race springs!

**metal_til_deth** · 02-06-2008, 11:08 PM

News! no need of brakes on four corners maybe a master or there's air remaining in the brake line... Ill try to look more precisely another night!

**metal_til_deth** · 02-09-2008, 02:48 AM

Even with brakes problem, the more I drive it the more I love my new baby lol
