Welcome to my BMW page, this car has been quite alot more than I bargined for. It all started when my father(who has owned BMW's since I can remember) said that my first car should be a 3.25i(s), or a 3.18i, or something along those lines. So we started looking around, we saw lots of older BMW's around, and then we finally decided on this one, because it seemed nice, the person who we bought it from had $4000 in reciepts, from preformance mods, and various car repairs, including a "Replaced Timing Belt". First of all, 3 weeks after I purchased the car I was driving away from my house, and I got about a mile down the road, and all the sudden the car just stopped, to make a long story short, the timing belt had not been changed, and I needed to rebuild my entire engine. So much for the 'replaced timing belt', huh?

7/18/05, Wow lots has happened since last year, I have got a new engine, same e30 m20 motor, but better, this one has alot more power compared to my other one, I reinstalled the performance upgrades, and got lowering springs, and put them on too, the drop is 2.5in in the front and 2.25in in the back, pretty amazing performance difference. I have also done some body work on the vehicle, including better wheels (still same 14in stock looking rims but they're wider), and an IS spoiler in the front, it looks great, i will be posting new pitcures soon, once i get my AC schnitzer racing seats installed

June 26, 2004: Currently the car needs a few repairs, the person who owned this car before me bought a cheap midas muffler for a car that deserves something better, anyways the inside of the muffler has fallen out (see pic Right)CollapseGenerati's 1989 BMW 3-Series, so I am left with just the shell of the muffler. I have ordered an Ansa exhaust, and some lowering springs, for him. I will put pictures on of the new upgrades sometime soon.

Heres a few more pictures:
