Well, here it is. I have only owned this car for two months. I traded my previous DD in order to save this car from a dunce. The car was not running when I traded due to needing new spark plugs and some tuning (oil change didn't hurt either). I have always dreamed of owning a 1987 is, as well as a turbo e30 - so needles to say I am sad to have this for sale so soon. I have decided to get rid of it (to an enthusiast) for a few of reasons.
1. I will kill myself in this car.
2. I work exactly 1 mile away and truthfully don't need a summer car
3. I do not have a garage and this car deserves one
So the deets.
the good:
1987 325is
Delphin grey on pearl beige sport interior
170xxx - odo stopped about 1 week after getting it running - no more than 172k on the car.
2.7L block
524td crank
shrick 272 cam
885 head
s50 Arrow Connecting rods
JE Pistons
MLS head gasket
Metric blue studs
engine replacement with rebuild done at 163k - built by Patrick Philpot
Haltech e6x engine management - Just hook up your computer and tune
TurboXS manual boost controller
9lb TIAL wastegate
TD05H 20G Mitsubishi Turbo
Front mount 15.5" X 18" X 3.5" Intercooler
Forge BOV
Stromung Stainless Exhaust
eibach springs
bilstein shocks
(5) ix 15x7" weaves - not in the greatest condition but I still love them
15mm spacers all around
original mtech 1 385mm steering wheel
crack free dash
rear seat headrests
ski-pass rear seat
original premium sound speakers
unknown SSK - very short and notchy throw - it's pretty wonderful once you get used to it.
unknown clutch stop
almost 0 rust. - Tiny bit of rust near plate lights (pictured). Underbody/battery tray/rockers are great.
Link to Build Documentation and receipts. I also have TONS of wiring diagrams and original haltech install disk.
within the last week:
timing belt
water pump
thermostat + housing
alternator
battery
innovative wideband mtx-l gauge
rebuilt bosch 29lb injectors
8mm ignition wires
the bad:
no headunit
sunroof motor is weak - needs a little human assistance to get the job done.
The Roof. - sun damaged and has an awkward dent at the top of the right rear pillar (see pictures)
body color kidneys - Maybe that's your bag baby - but it's not mine, huge personal pet peeve about the look of the car.
drivers seat is cracking
Tach does not work - likely SI batteries.
I just drove the car 6 hours in the past two days - WHAT A BLAST! I'm much too in love with this car so I hope someone takes it while I am willing to get rid of it. It is being continuously tuned as I drive it more, but it starts/idles/runs like a top at the moment but I'm sure someone else could really dial it in. I am currently running it at 11 psi and the drive-ability is all there for everyday use. I will continue to DD this car until someone strips it away from me.
So what am I asking for this beauty?
$6500.00 obo
Found a car I want. Make me an offer I can't refuse!
I want this car to go to someone who will take care of it. This is a fantastic car that needs very little to be perfect.
- the rust. It's very minor.
