    FS: CA Bay Area - 1990 325i Sedan RallyX/Drift/Daily

    Hey Guys,

    I'm torn on selling the car, but if I can get my asking, I will probably part with it as I'm looking to get back into vintage cars again. I've priced the car at what I think is a very reasonable price, considering it is a manual transmission late model sedan, has a clean title, passes smog, completely sorted and upgraded over the last year.

    I built this car up over the last year to the point where it is now very solid, reliable, and can be used in either SCCA RallyX (PR), AutoX, track events, drift day events, and still pull duty as a daily driver. This car is currently my go to daily driver, and it has never let me down. This is the 5th E30 I've built up.

    Price: $4,500 FIRM
    Clean title
    Car passes smog no problem

    Parts and things done within the last year:

    Engine:
    - Timing belt + pulley
    - Water pump
    - All accessory belts
    - Cap + rotor
    - Spark plug wires
    - Spark plugs
    - Valve adjustment
    - Valve cover gasket
    - Valve cover breather hose
    - Intake boot
    - Air filter
    - 15w40 Rotella engine oil and distilled water + coolant + Redline water wetter
    - Conforti/Turner Motorsports 91 octane chip
    - AKG race motor mounts
    - Magnaflow muffler (stock manifold and cat)

    Drivetrain:
    - Guibo
    - Driveshaft center bearing
    - AKG race transmission mounts
    - AKG DTM-style race solid mount shifter w/ tall shift knob
    - AKG DSSR
    - Shifter to transmission coupler
    - Redline fluid in transmission with Mr. Moly transmission additive
    - 325is 3.75 LSD w/ new cover gasket and Redline fluid
    - AKG race differential mount
    - Rear wheel bearings
    - Passenger front wheel bearing

    Suspension:
    - '95 E36 M3 steering rack
    - Steering rack tie rod spacers
    - Steering rack boots
    - Steering rack hoses
    - Power steering reservoir
    - Treehouse racing CABs
    - Mehle control arms
    - Lemforder inner and outer tie rods
    - Bilstein HD shocks all around
    - ECS Tuning front camber plates w/ urethane mounts
    - Front: 325is springs / Rear: 325ix springs
    - Front and rear sway bar links
    - Rear upper and lower sway bar reinforcements
    - Rear urethane sway bar bushings
    - Rear AKG race sub frame bushings
    - AKG race trailing arm bushings
    - HD shock tower strut mounts
    - Turner extended lugs + lug nuts

    Wheels:
    - 14" OEM bottle cap wheels
    - Firestone Winterforce tires with only one RallyX event on them.

    Brakes:
    - DOT SS lines all around
    - Speed bleeder valves
    - Front Pagid Endurance racing pads / Rear Hawk Blue racing pads
    - ASD hydraulic in-line handbrake (parking brake still installed and operational)
    - Motul 600 brake fluid

    Interior:
    - MASSIVE bucket seat mounts for stock brackets/sliders
    - Porsche GT3 replica bucket seats
    - Premium sound tweeters (not hooked up)
    - Alpine deck w/ aux in hookup and amp in the trunk
    - MOMO hub
    - NRG quick release
    - Luisi classic leather wrapped steering wheel
    - Cluster works
    - All windows work
    - Custom battery tie down with negative terminal quick release

    Exterior:
    - Z3 antenna mod
    - Blacked out trim
    - Euro headlight grills
    - Euro front smoked turn signals
    - USDM projector headlights w/ clear guard film installed
    - New windshield w/ new seal
    - Rally Armor urethane mudflaps
    - Custom r3v member made front light bar w/ Hella fog and driving lights
    - OEM fog light blanking plates
    - Red46 skidplate
    - Paint is original on all the panels, no rust, and no clear coat fading/cracking (except plastic bumper tops). Has some dents and scratches, but cleans up really well.

    Weak Points:
    - No A/C. The compressor works and doesn't make any funny noises, and the system has been converted to 143a. It will need to be inspected for leaks, evap replaced, system vacuumed, and re-charged.
    - Blower motor is hitting something on speeds 2-4. I will probably have this fixed.
    - Sunroof needs new tracks. It is a manual sunroof, however the previous owner destroyed the rails for the sunroof. They will need to be replaced from a donor car if you want to open the roof. Right now it is closed and sealed with a new sunroof seal to prevent leaks.
    - Wipers are intermittent. Likely just needs a new relay. Wiper blades are new.
    - Transmission rattles. Shifts perfectly fine, but has Getrag rattle in neutral after it warms up.

    As you can see, I've spent a lot of time and money building the car into a reliable and well performing E30. There is well over $5000 in parts alone, all done within the last year. All major E30 maintenance and preventative items have been addressed on this car. I've built it so that it can be used in RallyX, AutoX, track or drift day events, while still being compliant and comfortable enough to be daily driven.

        There is some wiggly room in the price for r3v members. ;-)

                Don't let my whining transmission scare you away - it's really not that bad and is mostly exacerbated by the race mounts and solid shifter. ;-)

                      Hey I tried to email you about the AKG DTM shifter. Would you be willing to trade plus cash on my end for a z4 short shifter plus delrin knob (also have the carrier and brand new cup) plus cash? I would love to buy a new one from AKG, but they are currently unavailable.

                          Hey, thanks for the offer, but I'm going to keep the AKG shifter in the car for now. I'm using the base to mount my hydro handbrake, and I'd rather not mess with it at this point.

                            For RallyX? Yes, there is an active SCCA RallyCross chapter here in the Bay Area that holds events. Thanks!
