***SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD***
Asking $700 negotiable, willing to trade for parts + cash or a running car + cash on my end
The paint and auto trans on this is bad, i am negotiable and open to trades for another car (running), M50 engine/swap parts or parts to fix my other E30, with cash on my end depending on the item. More negotiable for R3v members of course since i know the car will be going to a fellow enthusiast.

For sale i have a '90 325i 4 door auto, it has around 156k miles on it, the title says "Odometer exceeds mechanical limits" when i first got the car the odometer on the cluster wasn't working, after taking the car on the highway it started working again and has been fine since i've been driving it. I believe the cluster was probably working intermittently and that's why the title says that.
This car may be recognizable to some of you since it was listed on CL a few months ago from a different seller in Allentown. I bought the car a few weeks ago and started fixing it up, then the automatic transmission decided it wanted to die. My only real reason for sale is that i have another 5 speed E30 i want to get back on the road, if i don't get any reasonable offers for the car i will just convert it to 5 speed and continue driving it and cleaning it up. This is a good project car for someone trying to get into E30s, or for the seasoned E30 owner that probably has/can source the parts to bring this car back to life.
Good:
-New spark plugs (Bosch copper core)
-New timing belt, water pump and tensioner with less than 20 miles on them since install (Contitech and graf w/ metal impeller)
-Coolant flushed and replaced at time of timing belt replacement
-Clean interior (mostly crack free dash, 1 small rip on drivers seat, 3 small rips on passenger side rear door panel)
-The windshield wipers weren't working, i replaced the switch they work perfect now
-New hoses all around done by previous owner (have receipt)
-3 sets of RCA wires are already run into the trunk (for amp installation)
-Glove box is now fixed and functioning as it should, has a key so it can be locked
-Sunroof is now operational after installing a new crank for it
New in box parts included but not installed:
-Fuel filter
-Torx head bolts (the original bolts are still on the motor but were deemed defective by BMW, this particular car still has the older style bolts installed, so i bought the new ones to update it)
-Thermostat (car is running cold the old thermostat is stuck)
-I have a set of blue Racing Dynamics springs with 1k miles on them i would let go for $200, the ride height and stiffness of these springs falls somewhere between H&R sport and Race springs, good middle ground for those wanting more drop than sport but not the full lowering of the race springs.
Bad:
-Needs a new automatic transmission (I can assist the buyer in sourcing one for around $200 in Maplewood NJ) or convert it to 5 speed
-Needs a sunroof panel because it has rust holes in it ( i can source a clean one the same color as the car if the buyer is interested)
-The paint is shit, one of the previous owners painted it with house paint, i began sanding it off the trunk, it's coming off but taking the original paint with it. This car will need a paint job, i was going to sand off the house paint and prep the body for paint. The top portion of this car is house paint (roof, trunk and hood) the bottom portion of the car is lachsilber.
-Small spot of rust near battery tray (that's the only rust i've seen, but i haven't had the car on a lift yet to be completely sure)
-Need brakes (pads and rotors all around)
-Needs some suspension refreshing (control arms and tie rods typical of E30s this age)
-One of the back windows isn't going down (haven't troubleshooted this at all)
-Will not come with a radio
-Could use new struts
-Rear valance needs to be straightened
-Fog lights not working
-Intake hose running underneath intake manifold to the throttle body is leaking and needs to be replaced (i will probably order this part and will be included for the new owner)
-Would recommend changing the cap and wires due to unknown age
-Slight exhaust leak in the pipe near the muffler
-Needs grommet for the trunk antenna
-Rear middle bumper trim is missing
As you can see i'm being as honest as i can about what this car needs, there may be some stuff i'm forgetting to mention but i'm pretty sure i covered all of it. Feel free to reply with further inquiries to this ad via email or give me a call/text at 6 1 0 39 3 3434
