i have a dilema i either spend 1.k on cheap a 325i or 1.5k on 318is theinsurance on an 318is is £500 the 325i is £900 so if i go for the 325i ill have to spend less on the car and put some towards the insurance.

this is where im stuck i cant up my budget, what i realy want to know is what kind of 325i can i expect for 1.k i dont mind anything tatty aslong as its not rotton and mechanics are ok!

you can get a decent example of either just have to wait for it to come along at the right price

the is comes with alot of upgrades as standard compared to a 325i,,,,
if you get bored after you've chipped it put a 325i lump in sorted

which upgrades might they be magpie? some easily avaliable sport seats and some easily avaliable arb's and an asthmatic 4 pot?

youll get a decent 325 for a grand. it might not be a concours winner but it will be solid and decent.

the extras and trim level dosent bother me as the can easily be upgraded its the engine i want.

is there any diffrence engine wise between a 325 sport and non sport?

solid and decent is what i want as i dont mind doing it up myself

engine wise there is no difference.
cars upto around 87 had a slightly higher C/R but most have also rotted away

is the gear box and lsd the same? if not how easy are they to swap

you are now getting boreing bud,,,oh you forgot the m tech suspension,,,m8 oh yea it was me who got the springs...

no I think magpie's got confused over something else
It's all healthy banter

I think that you will be more than happy with an is 16v, i am fortunate enough to have a 325i and i could not bear to part with my m42! Hey Bob S is that your diamond schwartz is in the Pics? it looks sweet with those rims really stands out and looks just enough with the standard front spoiler! E30A30

Yes it is diamond black. Wish I never sold it really! lol
