This is a feeler for the sale of my 1989 BMW 325i 2.8l Turbo e30. The reason I am selling my car is the fact that I need to drive in snow a bit. I’m in the market for an Audi A4 Avant, so I’m selling my pride & joy, blood, sweat and tears. If you know me around the forum, you know that I’ve always been modifying this car, breaking ground in some areas. The car has about 228k miles, the engine has about 30k miles. Don’t let the milage fool you, aside from a few dings, the salmon silver paint is in amazing condition, washed and waxed regularly. Basically I have reached a time in my life in which I need a good daily driver car, reasonable gas mileage that is AWD and can drive in the snow. As far as pricing goes, I'd like for this car to pay for the Audi that I buy, and maybe have some money left over. I'm buying the Audi very soon on a loan, but would like to sell this car once everything is done (probably sometime in January or February). Right now I'm in the "what kind of offers could I get" stage, as it is a feeler, but I am looking in the general area of $10,000 with everything properly running.

Random other tidbits that took up space where the turbocharger went…
Condition:
There are a few dents on the exterior, 2 in the rear quarter panels from something rolling around in the trunk. One in the hood, on the front passenger side from my father dropping something. A couple door dings, that are hard to notice, and I’ll take pictures of spots that are hard to explain.
I am currently putting together a new head for the car, the head gasket currently leaks a little compression, and I’d like to fix that before selling.
You can have the Garrett t04e turbo I had on there for a long time, to use it you’ll need to replace the oil seals, and re-weld a t4 flange on the manifold adapter.
I’ll also throw in a bunch of extra e30 parts I have laying around, you’ll get a set of bottle caps with pretty new Yokohama AVS-intermediate tires.
It needs new subframe, trailing arm and rear shock tower bushings. When you get on it right now, it has pretty bad wheelhop. I may or may not replace these before the sale, we'll see.
Thanks, and feel free to ask questions.
