Chassis:
· 1990 325i Coupe with about 280k miles on straight chassis
· Original VIN on all panels
· VIN: WBAAA1314LEC68925
Engine/Trans:
· S50 has about 190k on it from what I was told. Doesn't burn/leak oil.
· Treehouse brake booster, wiring
· TRM tuning
· 5 speed manual (original E30 getrag 260) -fairly smooth

· Custom Ireland Eng 4 core radiator

· Aluminum thermostat housing, metal impeller type water pump
· Battery in trunk, alternator replaced
· A/C not installed (have compressor, new dryer and R134 retrofit kit – need lines fabbed [have parts])
· new valve cover gasket just installed.
Exhaust ():
· Stock manifold
· 49 state cat
· 3" cat back, magnaflow muffler, twin stainless tips. Deep and loud.
Suspension/Brakes:
· E30 M3 Suspension modified for coil-overs –Eibach springs & converted to wheel studs
· Bilstien shocks, eibach springs 400/600 I think. Rides very stiff. Great on the track. Kind of a like a log truck on the street...
· Eibach sways that are properly connected to strut housing in front like on M3s
· Treehouse racing LCAB's
· IE rear sub frame mounts
· Front strut bar (generic – aluminum)
· E30 M3 calipers and rotors, new pads on fronts
· Braided stainless lines
· wheel stud conversion
· new Stoptech street perf pads
Exterior:
· I had the back half of the car repainted professionally when I got the fenders flared. Overall its about a 7/10 now, I like things perfect though.
· Rear fender professionally done to fit my 235/40/17 tires on the 5x120 et20 fikses, they got over an inch of clearance out via hydraulically hammering the rear fender seam/quarter panel.
· 17X8 ASA AR1 Wheels with 235/40R17 star specs (10%-ish left)-Some curb rash and scratches – about 8/10. These are on it now.
· genuine MTech1 rear spoiler
· Clean tail lights
· no rust and PO replaced sunroof due to bubbles
· Euro HellaH4 head lights, HID bulbs from DDM (1 highbeam slightly foggy)
· Clean look with abandoned antenna (was pushed up inside the c-pillar) but reception not too good (see pic for plug in hole on rear quarter)
Interior:
· Black E30 M3 Seats (front and rear)
· Dash was crackless when I got it, has a few starting now though.
· Near complete tool kit (missing just one tool)
· Cruise system is there, just not hooked up.
· 6 button OBC – intermittently works
· Check panel works 100%, no lights. Just replaced coolant sensor.
· Died carpet and rear deck (was gray originally)
· New black //M3 mats/trunk mat from s14.net
· Working iS map-light rear view mirror
· Mirror tweeters
· Power windows and switches all work well
· Manual sunroof – works well
· Headliner about 8.5/10
What could be improved and other full disclosure (I don’t want future owner to have any surprises):
· Miles: (stated from previous owner, I've put 10k on it the 3 years I've owned it)
Although I believe the Carfax number to be pretty close, because the odometer was non-functional when I purchased the car (fixed now), I will have to sell it as “true mileage unknown”. I think it’s safe to say it had between 260 and 270k when I installed the 170k odometer so it’s easiest to just add 100k to what the new gauge reads.
-Odo reads 182k now
· Clutch is decent, slight noise when warmed and idling in neutral (throwout bearing, shop told me its fine til the clutch needs to be replaced)
· Lightened flywheel? or something that makes the throttle very responsive
· Tires: due for replacement
· Wheels: – spacers front and rear. Some curb rash and scratches – about 7/10
· Seats: about 8 of 10 with one nickel sized tear in driver’s bolster (see pics) hasn't gotten worse in the 3 yrs I've owned it. Seam starting to split on top of back seat.
–pretty soft leather. About 8 out of 10 on functioning condition (the rails have slight surface rust, recline etc works great)
· Stock steering rack, new power steering pump/lines just installed.
· Throttle cable was replaced w/ e34 one when I bought the car
· Trim missing on old aftermarket Sony stereo (period correct lol) (marginal to poor sound system all around)
· No spare tire
Overall, its a great car. I'll be sad to see it go, but I have an e30 M3 w/ an s52 thats practically the same car (though a basket case and nowhere near as clean, but...its an M3) so its time for this one to move on to someone else.
Most of the pics are w/ the Fikses on it, took a few last week w/ the ASA's back on.
Thanks for looking!
