    E30’s change lives

    I sold my old crappy 325ix 89 and purchased a 86 325es been driving her around like crazy everything everything is sound on the car but the breaks are pretty shoot and the door trim on the passenger side isIMG_0812.jpg falling of it was removed when the car got a paint job. Any help on the best advice to glue this back so it stays on?

    No e30s, again :(
    that doesn't glue on, it pushes onto the metal lip of that rain gutter.

    I took it off my parts car because the black four door we most recently bought was missing it. it just pushes on but you have to push it down from the top and kind of roll it into place because of the shape of that lip that it goes on. check it out up close and you will see what I mean

    Mine was the same way when I bought my car. Dad took it for a test drive on the highway....it got shorter after that. Handy time to have a parts car.
    Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?
