    FS- 1986 325es, NY/MD

    Update: SOLD!!!

    Up for grabs is my charming little 325es. I bought this car from an elderly gentleman in MD (homestate) almost exactly a year ago on Thanksgiving break. That fellow kept all the receipts for maintenance he had done, plus that of the now P-PO. The engine is in great shape I just changed the oil and filter, and recently shimmed the valves. The transmission is doing well also, but it may need a clutch soon. I bought the car with brand new all-seasons, which I immediately switched to winters that were on for most of the year; so the all seasons have ~70% tread. Bottlecap 14"s in decent shape. The carpet was a mess back then, so there is none. The sound deadening is also all scraped out (I've done us racecar enthusaists a favor here), so no need to spend time on stripping it yourself for track duty.

    The exhaust rotted out soon after I got the car, so I welded on a used OEM pipe (with cat converter).

    Also, I replaced the rear shocks with OEM Monroe shocks.

    The car has an ebay chip that came with it (no rev limit), but I also have the stock one and they both work great for respective duties.

    I'd be willing to part this if I had enough interest.

    $900 OBO.

    I was curious about the Vehicle History Report, so I bought one. And even though it was $30, I'll include it free of charge.

        Power steering leaks a bit, and it may need a clutch soon. Mechanically, that's all that is wrong. Heat works, AC needs a recharge (or retrofit)

        I bought the car with 159xxx miles, and the odo turned over a few miles when I drove it home, but then stopped. I'd estimate that I've put about 8-10k on in the last year, maybe less.

              It slips every now and then, but I still use it as a commuter and since I mainly drive long highway drives, I'm not too hard on it. Plus, through the pedal it feels like it doesn't have as much travel as a full clutch usually does...

              I'll see if I can get some close-ups tomorrow...
              Surface rust-wise, there's a bit on the rear right tail light pocket, and a pin hole in the floor pan. There's also one that is about the size of a quarter behind the FL fender.

                              Sorry about the delay, anyone who has PM'ed or tried to contact me since Monday. I admit it wasn't a great time to drop a line saying "$1000 if gone by Thanksgiving" and then move across the country, but I've been in transit to Los Angeles for a new job, and am just now put up in Texas for the night with some intertubes..
