Amen to that, although mine's only a light fondle compared to yours fuzzy.

I gave a bit too much for my Touring last year, mainly because the bodywork isn't mint - but it isn't that bad either. 1990 325i, manual, 15" x-spokes, sport seats, LSD (not sure if that was standard), sunroof, leccy front windows, and the bestbit was a genuine 61k miles with a FULL BMW main dealer history! I gave £2k for it in a fit of 'I must have it!'

If that mileage is genuine and the bodywork is reasonable then you paid about the right price imho

it's a straight nice car ShineyOn i remember it well!

If you just want to buy something and drive Pete's is the car i'd be buying

Doesn't look quite so shiny now Si, it's been sat in the drive since last August! I love it to bits though, did a trackday at Silverstone in my old M3 converted 328 yesterday, so feel all enthused to get the track prep started on the E30. As ever, funds are an issue until my missus stops spending our fucking money on the house extension.

And yep, the millage is genuine, all the paper work tallys - there is a massive folder full of every MOT, service sheet and corresponding invoice. They had some pretty big bills, for example about 6 months before I bought it the ABS pump was replaced at just shy of £800!

I want the car as a keeper. For cherishing , cleaning , and mostly civilised driving

Have PM'd Peter re: the car , alas no response as yet

[Simon13]

hold tight the fat man is always busy, stressed and in a drama. The car will be proper he just doesn't sell crap

Just pester him until you get a response!

i own 89 325 touring cost £300 from a kid who got it to take to the ring for a good spanking stud up to that so i thought if it was going to break down it would have on the ring
it went round 7 times and and managed a 130mph reportedly

Fitting a 325 engine in place of a 320 engine (keeping original gearbox, etc), in a touring is an easy days work, for anyone with a ramp, etc.

My bad. I'm a pessimist and I was reckoning on 2 days.. .which I thought would be reasonable for normal general garage. At £70 an hour plus vat that came out at about £1400. If I'm painting too black a picture fair enough, but I'd prefer not to be stranded halfway through for lack of cash!

If someone can do it in a day, great news. I'd get a written quote ;)

j reg 325i touring
with bbs,3,64lsd and m3 sport front seats, also lowered 90% rebushed

but no further molestation has taken place.
150k on clocks yes, but pulling hard still body other than 2 small easily sortable dints is near perfect

see for sale section and save yourself a fortune

mine is ready to go at anytime

[Morat]

And we should be seeing it tonight, eh daz?

grrrrr that means i'll have to wash her then lol


yeh i'm pretty sure i'll be t the milkbar tonight fella

[Morat]

Mine's just getting a plain water jetwash, and the inside is full of dogblankets, tools and crap. No pressure

[Cotty]

There is a cracking white 325i touring on http://oldcolonelcars.co.uk/ for £2,000. If I had storage I would snap it up myself

[nicey]

Hold out for the 325, I've just bought one in royal blue, with natural leather, stunning car, I upgraded from a 320i albiet an auto, but the extra grunt of the 325 is more than worth having. Look at it this way, the 325 has the disc brakes as standard and the 51mm struts, wait for a good one to come along, in the right colour, royal blue is stunning, it changes colour according to the light!. I paid £492 for mine with 1 year mot!.


Anyone breaking a royal blue e30 with mint sunroof and 4door front passenger door?, Mines rusting through (only bit of rust i can find on the car) .

320i auto for sale- spares/repair.

So do all touring's, no matter what the engine size.

I've got a diamond black 325i Touring with black leather, AC, BBS and LSD but it's not worth anywhere near £3k.

If you spent £1500 on it it would be a bloody nice thing though.
