just bought one of these, E30 325ix, 2.5 4WD, E Reg with private plates (included in sale), red, 52000 miles from new, 7 previous owners, hartge 16'' alloys, full stainless exhaust system, spotless interior, little bits of rust bubbling around the wings but nowhere else, small hole near accelerator pedal in floor (easy fix), no MOT and no tax, runs smooth. GRIPS VERY WELL :)


now guess how much i bought it for :)

You should just about be able to cover the cost (£7.50) of putting some standard mirrors back on her by serving those "things" up on ebay :D

Going of the pic, I would say £300 because the 'for sale' advert is in the window still, was it up for £600 ?

Looks like it was found abandoned, in a forest... :?

Hopefully should look presentable when cleaned up.
Must say I would love to get my hands on it a give it a full detail.

Badly faded red iX with no TnT, Chavved with mirrors and M3 spoiler. I think you're going to have to sell those Hartges judging by the way the front sticks out beyond the arch.
Did you actually get to test drive it? I hope the front wheels are still driven.
If you got it for £300 then well done you have a fun (and long) project ahead of you :)

PS, how much for the wheels? :D :D

Sorry but another bloody poll is getting stupid. Why is everyone doing polls about everything?

Clean the IX then put photographs up and then maybe people will be impressed more.

Sorry to threadjack,

Why did BMW make a 4wd e30? Was it for motorsport or farmers?

Quite, the wheels alone are probably worth what you paid. Good luck with the restoration 8)

Yep, certainly looks like the sort of car that should come up a treat with some elbow grease. Nice to have such low mileage too. Any idea why it got left unused for so long? :?

clean and polish and then post up loads of pics. if it cleans up well and is rust free then you have done well. does look chavy with E36 M3 mirrors and that wing.

BTW is it RHD? I thought these only came in LHD?

Serious oxidization. Judging by those pics it's going to need machine polishing to get that paintwork gleaming again.

yeah, its been converted to RHD, it has power steering aswell :) it was standing for a year as the guy who owned it was working in germany and used to come back at weekends, but he's now living in germany and left his wife and kids in england so he said she can sell the car to pay for court costs. oh and yes all 4 drive shafts work in 4WD
