Has a recon head with brand new insides etc.. cost 600 squid new and only done 2000 miles since fitted. She was perfect mechanically!

Hi all, i have been offered back my 325i sport 1989 in grey by the salvage company for Ã‚£125.

The only thing wrong is a back-end smash. so the back quarter is fooked.

Engine, gearbox, LSD, everthing else is good. What do you reckon?

worth getting and e-baying?

you git!!

It is definitely a genuine sport, look i just wrote is, should i say was!! :cry: I know i can show examples of sports going for at least Ã‚£2000. i mean mine had a new head, everything was perfect apart from one arch. the wheels are mint bbs 15's. I will never lose the will to go on with this, i ass...

it was quite bad but repairable im sure and iff he wrote it off based on this value then im not surprised its Un-economical to reapir it!

makes me wonder if these people they get to examine the cars actually know their stuff!

u know it mate!! even old banger sports go for at least a grand dont they?? Years MOT with no advisories. Do u think its worth sending the mot form to them to show it was no heap!!

i intend to bombard the tossers with evidence that the market value they say it is is bollocks. I will NEVER be able to buy an equivalent 325i sport with that money!

This is my first ever insurance claim and i went off it a bit when i got that offer!

some little teenage asshole was speeding in a 30 zone in the pissing down rain. i was making a turn, he plowed into my rear passenger quarter. spun me 360Ã‚° into some audi! engineer has written her off. i spent more on a new cylinder head than 500 quid!! tesco say that speed has no bearing as there...

yes my friends, g499 wrt, 1989 325i sport has been written off. Fuckin insurance company offered 500 quid which i think is a bloody joke! It has made me wonder if its even worth insuring my cars in future if im gonna get stitched! obviously still will but u know!! any suggestions on what i should do??

if it had alpina reps my friends sister owns that

325i sport, 1989. dolphin grey. 2 door coupe. Cloth interior. As i said mint with a little rust on one arch which i had just had a quote to repair for 200 quid!

New Complete cylinder head, years mot and tax

Some tit has smashed my car and written her off. Speeding in a 30, couldn't stop and went into my reaqr passenger quarter. Bent the wheel to a 45Ã‚° angle and stoved in the side. I need to know what kind of money to accept from the insurance company as i cant seem to find a market value. Bearing in ...

Mines a bit funny sometimes too. When i turn the engine off at a shop for example then go to start her again i have to pump the hell out of the accelerator. Somethings not right. Any ideas as it can be embarrassing when people are admiring your car and she doesn't fire up 1st time. any ideas?

Hi craig. I have the exact same problem. I was DIY spraying my wheels the other day and jacked up the car CRUNCH. She bent and went through.

Id be interested to know as i had no replies when i posted!

what metal and how much?

Hi All,

Just did a DIY job on my wheels and really happy with the results. Only problem is that when i took a wheel off, the front passenger side jacking point cracked and bits of rust fell off.

Any idea how and how much this is to get repaired as the car is sound otherwise.

Rob

out of sight out of mind!!

Brian, can you recommend anyone to do this as it sounds a bit daunting 2 me!! Or is there anything on the zone to detail this kind of thing?

How much are we looking at for a garage to do this! mines a bit bad too. I put loads of rust treatment on it which has hardened the worst of it.

To swap then...... a 14 inch bbs cross spoke for a 15 inch one! Ill make the jouorney too!!

I got a bloody 14 incher when the rest are 15 inches. Anyone got a swap?

I got done by that!!! Clean the block properly too as i made that mistake and will have to do it all over again i think!

i always try and follow other 325i sports, they must think im psycho or something. seeing me spin a U in the rear view and steam after them!!!

Just went for a spin as im bored and skint. Around eastbourne town to look at some young honeys, you know how it is!! I saw a white e30 with an mtec 2 kit, a white tech 1 & A sweet black Touring. In town earlier i saw a dropped blue convertable, blue hood with cream leather and what looked like hart...

Now i know to come here 4 advice... Hence the nonstop posts just lately, Its good though! wont make the same mistake twice!!

The latest round my way is "bless bless" as in

"see you later innit blood"

"yeah bless bless"

It is an old haines manual i must say, car boot jobbie! From what you say i dont even think i have tightened them correctly at all. Sorry to keep asking but do you think if i change them over one at a time and tighten them all as you describe it might do the job? Do i have to run the engine at all b...

were there any other factory kits available in the 80's?

absolutely nothing im afraid. Im guessing it should though!! care to enlighten me?? I love to learn!

i reckon the white bumpers ok but then red bumper looks too much like that vauxhall VX roadster things back end!

You getting kitted up then?

i looked in the haines manual but in my haste didn't realise that there are two different torque settings, always read everything through first!! I tightened to the tighter setting first then a few hours later realised my error and loosened them a fraction then tightened to the correct setting. Im g...

Yeah, id been kinda tryin to avoid thinking about that but if its gotta be done, you know!!!

Its just having the space to work on it. I got a bloody 45Ã‚° drive with a small garage at the end which my 325i barely fits in. Weathers crap!

I need a lockup or big shed on a farm! that would be wicked!!
