    IA 1988 BMW 325ix $1500

    1988 325ix Black with Tan Leather Sport seats. 250K

    I bought this car with a bad head gasket that turned out to be a bad head. Replaced the head with a new head, new valvetrain, cam, etc. Also did a timing belt, water pump, cap/rotor/etc at that time.
    Went through the heater system, replaced the heater core, t-stat, and the blower motor rheostat as well.
    It's got high miles, but the top end is all new. It's throwing the CEL light, and it's running rich. I'm guessing it'll need a new o2 sensor.
    Previous owner installed headers, Dinan chip, short shifter kit, and a K&N cone filter.
    The car does need a new windsheild, the ground effects need to be painted and installed, and the side trim needs to be installed. I've got all of the parts, but the entire car could use a paintjob.

    It still needs some work, but I'll toss in all of the parts you need. Windshield, trim, ground effects, etc. I've got it all. It's currently sitting on Blizzaks on steel wheels. $1500 and it's yours.

    I'll toss in all of my spares as well, front a rear subframes, etc. Tons of IX specific parts. I want my garage back.

      I think it states what county the car is registered in. So I don't think all Iowa plates say 'Dallas' on them.

          Yep, Dallas county is where the car's registered, hence the plates.

          Sorry, no dice on the front strut housings. I've got front and rear subframes for the IX though, plus a trans/transfer case and a bunch of other stuff.

            I just realized all these IA cars I was seeing with the Dallas on them were posts from you, makes more sense that way.

            Pretty funny though, for me

                    Thanks, I'm trying to downsize, I'm more interested in spending money on my house than on cars these days.

                          as mentioned earlier, your county that your shit is registered in IA is listed on your plate. You live in Polk county, your plates have Polk on them, You live in Webster it says Webster on them, or Hamilton, then they says Hamilton, Or Dallas.
