Selling my e30, bought an e34 and I'm trying to recoup some funds.
It's a 1990 2dr 325i 5spd Calypso on tan. $1500 OBO
This has been my daily for like 3 years, 185k on the chassis, and more like 120k on the motor.
Roof rack not included.
Blew a headgasket when I got it, put another bunk motor in it, overheated blew another head gasket, all within the span of like 3 months, But.. long story short, I got pretty good at doing headjobs, and the motor in this thing now runs good, new HG, timing belt, main seals, various other gaskets, etc ect, new waterpump radiatior, pretty much the whole cooling system now that I mention it. All replaced at around 170k.
New guibo, new CSB.
She is NOT much of a looker. Overall the chassis is pretty solid, the only real rust to speak of is the rear corner near the battery. Shocking, I know. Pretty much dents on every panel, front fenders are especially bad and the clear coat is faded, peeling and overall crappy. Looks good from 50', a true beater.
Interior could be cleaner, one crack in the dash, seats are pretty worn, drivers side bolster torn, BUT they are heated leather sport seats.
As far as suspension goes, new control arms, stock m3 bushings, green Racing Dynamics springs and Bilstein sports all the way around. Cabrio front sway bar. I can tell you right now the rear subframe bushings are pretty shot, could be worse though. 3.73 LSD!
I replaced the brakes when I got it at like 167k Brembo blanks / Hawk HPS.
There's plenty of minor maladies. Off the top of my head the sunroof doesn't work, it's actually slightly just cracked open but doesn't leak (cables are toast). One of the highs doesn't work, exhaust is a little leaky at one of the flanges (i'm going to try to address that this weekend), I think the rear trans-seal might be a little leaky. Rear defroster doesn't work, nor does the third brake light. Fuel guage is in&out, cabin smells like fuel if you fill up the tank all the way. I'll probably update this list in the future.
I realize this thread is worthless without pics, but those of you in New England surely understand my situation. Which reminds me, this thing is an absolute BEAST in the snow. It's got some gnarly snow tires on basket weaves mounted up ATM (General altimax arctic, HIGHLY recommended) Unless it bottoms out on the snow, she is unstoppable and tremendously fun. I'm going to try to get some real pics up later this week, but for the time being..
Located in Connecticut, East Hampton/Storrs.
Edit: I found some more pics on my computer. Proper photos by this weekend.
A few more pics.
