Deep Cleaning The Interior Of My 31 Year Old BMW E30 Was a Complete DISASTER! (First Clean Ever)

Cleaning the interior of My 1989 BMW 325is was a nightmare! It was important that I do this as part of the restoration process to seen how much of the interior was salvageable. Essentially, the more I can bring back to life, the more money I'd end up saving in the long run. Not even me (the owner of the car), expected it to be this bad. Nonetheless, I spent 6 hours deep cleaning the interior and the results were shocking!

Yes!!!!forget the rotten 335i. You're done with that. Just keep up with the maintenance. Let's see more of this old girl!! I have to get my 1987 325is running too. Its been garaged for 10 + years. Also it has no cracks on the dash and has a few bavarian autosport parts on it. I wish i could post pics of this old 2 door coupe! She's also metallic grey in color with a beige interior.

[@aesmilla]

A tip w getting the seats to function properly when pulling the lever. There is a thin rod underneath the seat that connects left to right side. Right now it’s a straight rod. Remove it and Bend it in like a “V” so the distance of the rod between left and right is shorter. It will allow the teeth on the seat to move on the rails properly and evenly left/right

[@VehicleVirals]

Appreciate the tip!

[@ravendethshadow]

Same exact color and model as mine, except mine is a 1990. Btw, the vacuum boot is a really common failure point on those m20 motors, the rubber gets old and starts splitting at the seams (failed on my previous e30, a 325e). I'd also be willing to bet the car didnt get a valve adjustment every 25k like you're supposed to as well. I personally don't have any issues with the motor on mine, but it's also my dd and I don't care about driving it super fast anyways. Those mufflers on those cars, those will always be the first thing to rust out hardcore (one of the tips on mine actually rusted off completely so it's just a hole on the right and the tip on the left lol, probably next on the to-do list). Wiring for aftermarket decks can be totally hairball so it's good that the one in the car already works. Wiring in general for old bmws can be kinda screwy, my power locks don't work (very likely a ground issue or something, tried putting in working actuators and they lock and unlock erratically so opted to just keeping in manual locks for now till I decide to deal with that rat's nest). Also if you're considering keeping the G260, obviously check the synchros. 2nd and 4th are common wear gears. Regardless, there's tons of support for these cars online because of their wide appeal, and lot of the maintenance things you can do yourself because of it.

[@Phantomz8]

I gave up on my old bmw. So i wanna see you succeed I’ll watch every video about this car. Good luck man

[@thejungatron6792]

Hey bud, worked a day with you a couple years back at a service desk near dis springs. That day we ended up talking car shows and bmws all day long while you had a trainee. Loving the content and stoked you got an old Bmw. My first Bmw growing up was a 1987 325i convertible. Loved that car bud. Keep it up!!

[@VehicleVirals]

I think I recall! Was it at The Grand?! That was one kick ass shift. Not everyday you find someone that speaks car language. That must have been quite the experience, owning that gem.

[@thejungatron6792]

Vehicle Virals yeah it was the grand! What a great shift as I loved the car talk.The 87 325i had 100k miles on it back when I had it in 2001. One day in the winter the engine blew and we ended up swapping it out for a rebuilt one. Shortly after the transmission went and I had to dump it. I keep looking for another one ;-)

[@daniusmazgeika2764]

The Detail Geek MK2?

[@Enigma8750]

That door handle reminds me of those retro Computer cases. They get yellow over time. There is a system that you could use for that. Google Yellowed plastic cases. They have a in-depth cheap way to bring back plastic from the dead. Check it out. It's 40 percent creamy Hydrogen peroxide (Sally's Beauty) and you leave it out in the sun wrapped in saran wrap, or under a UV light to activate it. It works great on those old Retro PC Plastic yellowed cases to like new. Might be worth a try.

Don’t get discouraged. Just take your time and find the right price for parts. As long as it runs and drives you can take your time getting what you need. I bought and maintained my Porsche since i was 19. No mechanics just me and my dad. Still own it to this day.

[@benvan-ness1030]

Boy that was dirty. Wow that car is a little over 30 years old. Cars have come a long way over the years.

[@ttopero]

Christian, In your first video of the E30, you mentioned what made the iS special, but those sounded like mostly parts you’ll be replacing with modern versions or wear out & need replacement anyway. If you don’t replace them with OEM originals, aren’t you negating the limited spec aspect of this car? I can see the value of keeping the level of components & using modern parts, but it’d be fascinating to learn of the monetary consequences of various choices Securitas you go, regardless of what you do.

[@johnclement2890]

I just came across your channel . You should go with the restoration. I have a 89 conv that I have been working on. I'm always interested in what the everyone else is doing and how they are doing it to their E30. Especially when you have access to a BMW garage.

how much was the e30? My first in 03 was only $500, ran and drove for 6 months before any type of repair. I had an 88 for $800, another in Sand diego I only paid $1000 for and my last was an 88 cabrio i bought for $1400....and that was four years ago. Now a days I see rolling chassis for $1000 plus. the condition yours was in, I assume it was under $2000? Im hoping to find a project this summer

$3000. Hard to find a 2 door manual 325is no matter the condition for under 8K. Value has definitely picked up on e30s
