I think i've finally found a good E30! Is this worth it?

[Goldfingiz]

Hey guys, the search has been going on for about a month now. I think I found one, what do you think?

Here are a few details:

-1989 BMW 325is w/ 155,xxx Miles
-2.5 Liter 6 Cylinder Engine
-5 Speed Manual Transmission
-Bronze/Beige Exterior w/ Tan Leather Interior
-"S" Package includes Front & Rear Spoilers, 14" BBS Basketweave
Wheels,
Sport Seats, Sport Steering Wheel & Knob, and a 6 Speaker Stereo
System.

I've owned the car for 4 years and since I've added the following:

-Blaupunkt CD Player
-Infinity Kappa 5.25 Speakers
-All Weather Rubber Floor Mats
-European Front License Plate
-AC Shnitzer Front Grill Badge
-Freshly Powder Coated Wheels

The car has a clean CarFax report. The asking price is $3500.

Off the bat I would redo the wheels a different color and give it a nice drop. Not sure if i'd take the modding further, I still want a comfortable daily driver

Here are the pics:

not sure about the american bmw's

come on guys any one know?
looks like 325 with an is lip spoiler on it.
has it got lsd?
is the roof lining black ?
what does the log book say?

[ouch]

NO IT LOOKS LIKE A OLD SCRAPER

ignore ouch he's he's not trying to help. he's just being ignorant

[ouch]

WOULD YOU BUY IT

[dsio]

Would look nicer in MT2 kit but there is nothing wrong with that at all. Interior is quite nice, exterior is clean and well looked after.

I would pay $3500 for that all day long.

[ouch]

YOUR MORE OF A MUG THAN HE IS THEN

Totally Agree dude.....I'm sure what the spec was for a 325i over the pond?? Anyone know????

dude, you've spammed rubbish in caps every single post you have made. Sif anyone cares what you think.

[ouch]

SO WHY DID YOU REPLIY TO IT THEN

[japcarkiller]

think of it this way . you hear some one break into your house. you instantly know its a total knob scum sucker. but you're still gonna rap a cricket bat round his head.

[ouch]

BOREING

[japcarkiller]

aren't ya

[ouch]

MAY BE BUT NOT AS BORING AS THAT SHITTER IN THAT PIC

[Goldfingiz]

Thanks for the help, to those who did

I don't think any model in the US came with the kit unfortunately. That's probably why EDM E30s look so much nicer than USDM ones whenever I see one :p

How is that car a shitter? If think all E30s are shitters and you're just trolling, fine, but if you're an enthusiast and you're still calling it a shitter i'd like to know why.

EDIT: Unfortunately I don't think we ever got colormatched moldings either

[ouch]

THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN A E30

[japcarkiller]

he's not he's just some one with nothing better to do than try and mess things up for others.
back to your future ride.....
looks nice m8. very clean etc.
check for over heating probs though.

THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN A E30

Oh so you're just trolling, I see. Well, i've never owned an E30. I wouldn't even call myself a true enthusiast (yet) but they've really been appealing to me lately, at least the EDM ones!

You don't need to tell me there's more to life than E30s (or cars/bikes in general) because I live life to the fullest

[japcarkiller]

ouch there is more to life than e30's but we of the zone love em. thats why we come here.if you don't like them then why do you own one and why are you here?

[ouch]

ITS SHIT THE SEATS ARE THE BEST THING ABOUT IT SAVE YOUR MONEY

[Goldfingiz]

Does anyone know if BMW puts their pinstripes under the clearcoat? I'd like to peel that off if I do purchase the car.

[ouch]

NO THEY DONT BUT BE CAREFUL WHEN TAKEING THEM OF YOU COULD PULL OFF THE LAQUER

[dsio]

Don't think so, as I can feel the surface of the pin on one of my e34s, and they sell the replacement pins on the ETK, but even though its on the surface, peeling it on a car thats 16 years old cant be good for the paint.

[ouch]

I THINK THAT WAS ANSWERD ALREADY OH YOU ARE SLOW

[Richy325iTouring]

THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN A E30

or fcuk off back to barryboys
twat


oh and

[Hyperion]

Hi Goldfingiz
I would say go for it, its a very clean looking car. It is an IS, the US models had to cut back on the sporty outlook to get past certain laws State side. Its not a big problem really because you can make her look euro.
The Pinstripes are usually put on afterwards and should not be under the clear coat.
Hope this helps and good luck mate

[Dan318-is]

like some one early said though, check for cylinder head problems and any history of it being fixed,

part from that mate, well tidy car

[e30bmlover]

im sorry, im a great beliver in....if it hasnt got any schnitzer stuff on it.. dont badge it up as a schnitzer, same goes for m-technic, nice looking car though, a bit standard looking but nice!

[elliot]

is that stirling silver? anyways, bin the wheels and put some 15`s maybe even 16`s on there and it wont seem so jacked up.
its a nice lookin motor though

[eun]

lol at richy!

if he didnt say it i fcuking would!

id love to know who these pricks are behind the keyboard
gobbin off and making a nuisance of themselves

goldfingiz is a respectable person by the sounds of it
and is asking advice on a car.....positive advice!

he doesnt need the likes of you sayin the car is shit
as i see you dont have your car posted up.....

i think its ok for the price dude go for it!

[E30cool]

Nice clean looking car mate, not sure about the us spec bumpers, think the wheels would have to go but there just minor things
