Welcome to a new e30 BMW enthusiast in Indiana!!

Posted on January 22, 2010 by Reggie's Motorworks in 85

I got a call late last week from a local teacher that just bought a “new” 1992 325ic, and wanted to know if I may be able to take a look at it.
“Of course I can!!”

I was delighted to find that this little cabrio is in really decent condition!  Sure it has a few issues that need straightening out, but all in all it is a very nice e30!

The first order of business was a bumper to bumper inspection, and since there was no maintenance history with the car, we decided to do a timing belt service, coolant flush, new hoses, water pump, front engine oil seals, V-belts, etc. We also replaced a voltage regulator that was causing the headlights to flicker going down the road (this seems to be common with the later “Valeo” alternators).

Here are some photos of the car and the work we performed, courtesy of my wonderful wife Stephanie (www.stewartimagery.com):)!

Don’t forget the new t-belt tensioner spring!!

A previous tech must have forgotten that fancy clip to hold the thermostat-water pump hose in place. This is very common, the hose sits slightly forward and is slowly worn away by the fan. Luckily we caught this one before it burst!!:

Out with the old:

Dirty parts awaiting the parts washer:

Ah, so nice to see a new timing belt, and everything CLEAN!

Don’t forget to come see us one week for tomorrow (Saturday, January 30th)  for our   CLEARANCE SALE!!

We value our community and helping the next generation. Our founder, Reggie Stewart, taking part in a panel discussion at @noblesvilleschools about their internship program, which we have taken part in over the years. This panel was held as part of their Miller Ambassadors program, which Reggie is part of. To the left of Reggie is Alaina Shonkwiler (@alainafornoblesville), who is currently running for Indiana District 29 State Representative. Alaina was part of the team that placed interns for Noblesville Schools and has also been involved with businesses that have hosted interns. The rest of the panel was made up of @noblesvillehighschool students involved in the internship program. The internship program encompasses many industries and is supported by several local businesses. We believe in the internship program at NHS, as we want to help grow the next generation and allow them to learn about careers that they may not have had access to, and allow them to see if this could be a career path they would enjoy. . . . #autorepair #autoservice #noblesville #reggiesmotorworks #bmw #audi #porsche #vw #volkswagen #landrover #rangerover #mercedes #indianapolis #mechanic #mini #eurocar #europeancar
