    1989 325i (salvaged) but clean and cleared.

    Attached are photos of the 1989 E30 325i I am selling.

    History:
    I purchased the car about 2 years ago - without a drivetrain - from Ed and Mano at Groma Fabrication (in Duarte, next to Ireland Engineering). The ownership paper trail showed it was previously owned by someone at Harout's BMW Parts. I then installed a good-running M20 engine and a 5 speed manual with overdrive, replacing various parts along the way. Mileage of the drivetrain is unknown.

    It is a stock-looking 325i with a very-acceptable body, though not perfect. The hood and right front fender have been repaired (the fitment is not-quite right where the front of the hood meet the front of the fender). No rust anywhere.

    Combined, I'd estimate 8,000 of trouble-free miles on it. The suspension/steering is tight, transmission is smooth. A test drive of this car will tell you plenty.

    It has:
    4.10 differential (makes it peppy, fun to drive)
    Bilstein shocks/struts
    Eibach springs (I believe they are 'sport' progressive lowering springs)
    [new] Front Control Arm bushings, M3 offset type
    [new] Rear Shock Mounts
    [new] Radiator
    [new] Timing Belt and Tensioner.
    [new] Fuel Pressure Regulator (higher output)
    [new] IE Short Shift Kit
    [rebuilt] Alternator
    [new] Battery
    Really-nice Dashboard - no cracks.
    Tan Vinyl upholstery (cloth back seat)
    Electric windows and mirrors fully functional. Manual sliding sunroof (knob falls off sometimes - very typical)
    Stereo (average) with factory speaker pods from "is" model.
    *items listed as [new] were replaced since I've owned it

    Notes:
    The A/C does not blow cold, though the compressor runs and the fan works - I believe it needs either a charge and/or conversion.
    One of the exhaust/muffler hangers needs to be repaired (I plan to take care of that).


    The water temperature gauge works intermittently, and not often. I've replaced the sender, swapped a gauge, still cannot get it to work.
    The odometer does not work (just last week I found the company who sells the gears, will share that info with you).



    The car has a salvage title, which I suspect that may have something to do with the folks at Harout's having owned it. I took care of all the paperwork when I purchased it, the title is now clean and in my name. Registration renewal is due shortly.

    I am asking for 3k OBO call or text me at 626-394-6792

      Looks pretty nice. Looks like your heater control valve has leaked in the past or is leaking, is that fixed?

          So is the title Clean or Salvaged...?

          It will either have Salvaged on the title or it will have a blank box

            No issue all was fixed prior to install.

            It states "salvaged" all cleared and checked and is registered.
