Hi everyone I think it's time for me to sell my car.
The car is located in the city of Philadelphia, PA...
It's a delphin metallic 1988 325 with the 327i swap meaning that it has the 2.7L supereta block & pistons but all of the "i" upgrades.
The 'i' 885 head with cam
'i' intake
'i' throttle body
173 ecu with knock off mark d chip
'i' AFM
Here's a long list of the things I've done to it...
Timing belt (4000 miles since it was last changed)
Recent alignment
Hankook v-rated summer tires (about 60% tread left)
Painted intake/valve cover
new cap and rotor
Alpina knock off headers
Catco Cat
New 02 sensor
new spark plugs
new battery
recent oil change
OE BMW head gasket done w/ timing belt
19lb. injectors put in (ford mustang gt kind)
new slave cylinder
rebuilt master cylinder
sunroof panel replaced
z3 1.9 Shifter
new control arms (both sides)
new control arm bushings (OE BMW M3)
new bilstein shocks all the way around
new vogtland springs (car is lowered 1.25" all the way around)
new brake rotors all the way around
new brake pads
front brake calipers replaced
new shift bushing
new radiator
new JVC head unti w/ premium BMW speaker set up
new sunroof seal
new trunk seal
new taillight seals
3.73 LSD
Subframe and trailing arm bushings replaced (OEM)
Motor Mount and Trailing mounts replaced (OEM)
Inspection good until 2012
Cosmetic stuff:
Euro Grills
Euro Bumper Trim
fog deletes
'ix' basketweaves and caps (15") with 20mm spacers
recent dash swap
tan sport interior
plastic bumper swap
Rust holes patched in the floors
is lip spoiler
The mileage reads 108xxx but the true mileage is unknown (the gauge cluster has been replaced at one point). Have put roughly 4000 miles on it since I've done the head gasket, timing belt, etc and it has good compression.
The Not so good:
No A/C (compressor is dead)
Has an idle issue and sometimes cuts out at idle
It's running a bit rich
Needs a respray
Gas Tank has to be replaced (is rusted at the top, have an extra tank I can throw in)
All in all it's a great car for someone who has a little more time and money on their hands.
Project thread:
Car fax can be viewed on my ebay ad:
I'm looking to get $4250 or best offer.
Trades are welcomed. Something in good mechanical shape and a manual transmission, a 318is or 318ti would be cool. I need something that gets good mileage.
PM me if interested, or call me at 908-698-7636. Thanks!
