    FS in NJ/Philly: 88 325e 2.7i *UPDATE- PRICE DROP*

    *UPDATE* I had a small incident with the car last friday night in the pouring rain. I slid up over a curb. Going around a 90 degree curve, i slid straight forward. The oil pan got taken out, and the passenger side control arm is bent. The front tires went flat over night, but worst of all the front valence got pretty much destroyed. There may be an issue with the steering rack as well, without the car running and driving it's hard to tell. I added up the parts it would need, and it's about 500 dollars depending on what you have, or what you can find used. the front valence is the most expensive piece obviously. So I have decided to sell it AS IS, for 1500OBO. Bring a trailer or get a flat bed (I could possibly arrange AAA if it's within my radius)



    This is a great car, and i'd love to see it go to a home where it will get the love it needs. It's fairly minor, really.

    Andy-
    nine oh eight 246 8617



    I bought this car 5 weeks ago from another member who bought it off "GOOBER." I cannot find that other members thread, but he only owned the car a few months as well. I just moved and life changes are forcing me to get rid of this car pre-maturely. I was very excited to be back in an E30, but unfortunately i cannot keep this car. In my 5 weeks of ownership I have put just over 1100 miles on the car, commuting back and forth from NJ to philly.

    Here is GOOBERS for sale thread copied

    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!


















    Since my ownership, the iS lip spoiler has been stolen (3 days after ownership) and I have replaced the Valve Cover gasket, spark plugs, wires, and given it an oil change. The Idle issue does not exist anymore like stated in his for sale thread. Like I said, i bought the car 5 weeks ago, and i'm looking to get what i paid- 3400.
    I also put MHW smoked turn signal lenses in the front, but I still have the ambers.

    again: $3400

    Thanks, Andy

                  I owned a B4 wagon, and a bunch of other volkswagens. John hayes is the guy you are thinking of who works at flemington VW though. hes a good friend of mine. Sorry man, not interested in trades, or getting back into a VW.

                  I broke the oil pan last night people, i will keep you updated on this. I have a lot of interested parties.

                      I was interested in buying this car, but you scooped it before me . But because of it I bought an M42 and couldn't be happier. Good luck with your sale, but this will sell quickly regardless.

                              Why not fix it? You've only had the car for 5 weeks...bummer to own a car for such a short time and then sell it.
