bugger, should not have driven my mates car

[sheehan879]

I am am the proud owner of a 89 Cab having just spent 6 months overhauling her and getting it ready for the summer. Ok its a 320i but I was happy with it unitill that is my mate with a 325i E30 threw me his keys.

The result, the cab will be up for sale soon so look out for one of those whats it worth threads and I will soon be on the hunt for a suitable 325i.

Bugger!

Whay not just swap the 2.0 Litre Engine for a 2.5 Litre ?

It's a very very easy conversion. Probably a lot less hassle/cost than getting a 325i and doing all the bits to it to get it the way you want it.

[blingsta]

agreed. just whack a 2.5 engine in to your cabby,

I had the same problem - Happily drove a 318i for years, then had a go in a 325 touring!
£4300 worse off, but there was no going back.

or a 3.5!
don't forget that the most valuable part of an E30 is a good shell. Everything else just bolts to it.

i'm breaking my 325 convertible jas. excellent engine, etc., 134k. as above, easy enough conversion, just done one myself (with gaszman) this weekend in fact.

Plus, with you car being a cabby you wont have to go through the hassle of upgrading the rear brakes and front struts. 2.5 it. It makes sense...

M50 it, that way when your mate drives it, he will be buggered

+1 - give him a tast of his own medicine!

Keep the cabby and stick a bigger engine in there

No need to sell if the shell is in good condition, good starting point

I went the other way, had a 325 to start with, then not knowing how slow 320s were got one and was mighty disappointed. Soon swapped it for a b25 though
