I bought this car from Matt a little over a year ago. I simply don't have time to drive it, let alone fix it up, though I did put in a new set of plugs, a new battery, and a brand new radiator.
Heck, when I do drive it, I have too damn much fun and I don't want to go to jail!
Its got a salvage title, the paint is more or less shot, and you won't impress your girlfriend with it, unless she likes to drive like a maniacal, speed-crazed sociopath. ;)
It starts, it drives, it goes like a bat out of hell, what more do you want?
I won't make any assertion as to how many miles the car has on it, the odometer says 230K, but that came from another car, the engine according to Matt had ~120K, the rest of the car, who knows?
1985 BMW E30 325e - M20B25 Engine
Swap - Euro Bumpers
1990 M20B25 engine / Getrag 260
Late model cooling system
Factory oil cooler
No p/s, no a/c, no cruise NO RADIO
3.73 LSD differential
IE subframe/trailing arm bushings
SS front brake lines, cross drilled front rotors
E30 M3 springs
Rebuilt drive axles
New control arms/tie rods
New clutch/throwout bearing/pilot bearing
E30 M3 control arm bushings
Euro bumpers/valance
13 button OBC
Late model gray sport interior
Black map pockets & handles
325eS trunk and wing
Euro plate filler
Body color mirrors
M-Tech steering wheel
Premium sound rear speakers
20% window tint
New battery
Brand-spanking-new radiator
The only real "issue" is it does have a little drivetrain vibration around 50-60 but it's nothing
major. Probably just a worn U-joint. Most of the time I don't even notice it. And, a minor exhaust leak at the head pipe.
Someone (Matt???) rattle-canned the chrome around the windows black. It started chipping off, I would have preferred the chrome, no wait- painting over chrome is a SIN. So, chipping the paint off of the chrome with a wooden stick is an ongoing project.
If you've seen this car in the past, Matt had window tint on the front windows, I pulled that off. One less thing to get a ticket for when you get pulled over for speeding.
Salvage title. Up-to-date registration, I'll smog it. Pictures are from 7/22/11. More pix here:

I need to get $2300 for it.
Thanks,
Jason
