1989 325i - $5000 (call 919-208-4535 if interested)
purchased in April 2008 as a daily driver and since then turned it into a decent DE car. i think it would make a good specE30 candidate.

The good
The car pulls very strong, especially with the 4.10.
The car was repainted in 2008 so it’s in pretty good shape.

The bad
the sunroof removal/replacement was done poorly. no leaks or anything, but it looks bad.
When driven regularly, it leaks about a nickel sized drop of oil on the driveway at night…i can’t tell where it’s coming from and is’t so small, so i just let it go.
odomoter and tach don’t work. the tach used to work, so i’m sure it’s just a loose connection. the odometer has never worked.

Nice looking car, but lots of stuff you’ve spent money on would need to be swapped out to be SpecE30 legal (exhaust, diff, suspension, etc.).

I think someone else mentioned it one of the other times this ad (?) was bumped, but this would probably do better on bimmerforums.com or r3vlimited.

Good luck with the sale.

thanks steve…yeah, i knew that it would all need to be swapped out, but that stuff can also be sold to recoup $$$ spent on the swap. i posted on bimmerforums and r3v, but i thought i’d put it here as well.

thanks,

Chris
