    1990 BMW 325i with turbo M52

    It's finally time to sell it (for real this time).

    The car has been garage kept and runs well, it's like it came from the factory with this motor and turbo. This car was built correctly with no cut corners or hidden problems. No expense was spared and it shows. Most of the parts on the car are new and have between 2k-10k on them. I have A TON of receipts from BMW dealers, PayPal and aftermarket companies to prove the amount of money that has been put into this car. The things that do not work are cruise control, abs (currently working on this) and AC (could not fit it with the intercooler). The car put down 351WHP and 307WTQ.

    Car/ body
    The car is in great shape and has all original VIN plates. The car was in TN until I got it so there is no rust. When I got the car, it was an auto m20 with tan interior, the car has made a huge transformation since then. It's honestly the cleanest body and paint of any e30 I have ever seen.

      How do you like the corbeau gts2 seats? Were they worth the price you paid for them? Would you have gone a different route given a second chance?

              I love them! For a street car they are great, they hold you in well and are still comfortable on long trips.

              Thank you sir, this car deserved a proper listing. Right now I have it on e30tech, Bimmerforums and Craiglist. If i don't have luck with those it will go on Ebay. Any suggestions?

                      This is how car ads should be written. I bet this is a fun car to drive.

                          Nice ride. I always wanted to do a boosted M52 w/S50 cams. I would suggest Bimmerforums but I see you already have it there. GLWS.

                            Thanks everyone! I put it on Ebay with a low starting bid so someone could get it as low as $14,500 :)
