    1990 325i 4-door 5-speed

    I have decided to sell my 1990 BMW 325i. The car is a 4 door 5 speed and currently has 150k miles. Delphin grey over black leather interior. I have owned this car for over three years and put lots of work into getting the car to it's current state. Although I love this car, I have a few too many hobbies and projects and need to move on.

    The car spend most of it's life in the south and is rust free with the exception of a few areas (mainly the rear valence below the battery tray). That being said, the roof is sun faded and the car could use some paint. Lets call it a 10 footer!

    On to the upgrades and maintenance that I have performed.

    Exterior
    -Ronal LS Wheels with BF Goodrich G-Force 205/55R15 (3 summers of use)
    -14" Basketweaves with snow tires
    -Bottlecaps with newer Yokohama tires (if Ronals dont go with car)
    -MTech II Rear spoiler with third brake light (Italian version?) When I installed this I ordered the heavier torsion springs so the lid would stay open and not fall on your head!
    -Shadowlined trim
    -Ellipsoid Headlights
    -All red tails (also have original perfect condition tails included)
    -Installed Keyless Entry

    Interior
    -Front Black Leather sport seats (Excellent condition)
    -Rear Black Vinyl seat with ski bag pass through and headrests
    -MTech Cloth shift boot and emergency brake boot
    -Bavarian Auto floor mats
    -Replaced dash with crack free version
    -Kenwood CD player
    -Euro Clock
    -MTech Steering Wheel
    -"SF Gadget" Cup Holder
    -Maplight rear view mirror
    -A/C Works!!!!!!

    Suspension & Brakes
    -Bilstein Shocks
    -H&R Springs
    -New rear shock mounts
    -"Richard Keith" Drop Hats
    -M3 Rear sway bar (new bushing and links)
    -All new control arms & Tie rods @ 135K miles
    -Offset M3 Control arm bushings @ 135k miles
    -Rebuilt calipers all around with rotors, pads, and stainless lines @ 135k


    Drivetrain
    -M20 Engine
    -Timing Belt/Tensioner/Waterpump/Accessory Belts @128K miles
    -New cap/rotor/plugs/wires @ 128k miles
    -3.73 LSD Diff
    -Stromung Cat Back Exhaust
    -MM Lightweight flywheel with new clutch @ 140k miles
    -Driveshaft bearing @ 140k miles
    -Crank Sensor @ 145k miles
    -New O2 Sensor @ 130k miles
    -Z3 Shift lever with new bushings
    -K&N Panel Filter
    -Rebuilt 19lb Injectors
    -Currently have stock "380" ECU in the car (feels great)
    -Also include "173" ECU with Mark D Chip for 93 octane and 19lb injectors

    The car runs and handles great. As with any older/project car there are a few things that I feel would need to be replaced at some point. The emergency brake works, but one of the cables hangs up (I am including 2 new e-brake cables) The rear subframe mounts should be replaced at some point (I am including 2 new subframe mounts) and the previous owner heli-coiled the oil drain plug (I am including an extra oil pan with a good drain plug) I also had to replace the left outer tie rod end recently and the car could use an alignment now.


    Looking to get $4900 with the Ronal LS or $4000 without (or best offer)


    I'm sure I missed a few things....but on to the pics:
















    I will get some interior pics before the weekend is over....
    Thanks for looking.

              Thanks for all the comments.

              I have the cover that goes under the steering wheel I just need to put it back on.

              I drove the car last night, and it is running great. It reminded me why I bought the car in the first place. Winding back roads, windows down, stromung exhaust, it is intoxicating!

                        Can you post some pics of the engine bay? Heater work? Does the diff whine or wheel bearings make any noise? Sunroof manual or automatic, does it work fine?

                        If I bought the car and had to drive the 15 hours back to my home, would there be anything I should be worried about? Does the motor/oil pan leak?

                          Thanks for all the interest...I will try to answer all the questions:

                          1. I don't forsee any problems with the car making a long roadtrip, I drove it straight through from Wisconsin to Massachusetts for 17 hours

                          2. Odometer works

                          3. All windows go up and down, sunroof is manual and works (no leaks)

                          4. Heater works, A/C Works blows cold with R134a refridgerant

                          5. No bearing or wheel noises. I actually replaced the Right Front wheel bearing about 1 year ago

                          6. I will get some pics of the engine bay when the rain stops

                          7. It does leak oil from the drain plug, the previous owner had used a heli coil to repair the threads in the pan, and it does not seal properly, I've tried a few different drain plug gaskets, either a time cert or replacement pan would be best.

                          8. I will take pics of the other two sets of wheels/tires when I have a minute

                          The other night when I drove the car I noticed a few items, the small headliner that goes on the sunroof came unattached at the front and needs to be reglued, the trim rings around the interior door handles have cracks.

                          I also forgot to mention in the original thread that I had installed sound mat in all the doors, foot wells behind the speakers, and under the rear seat. All the maintenance items have been performed on a regular basis (synthetic oil & filter changes, rear diff fluid, gear oil in the trans, fuel filter, air filter, etc.

                          All pms have been replied to

                          I also have the wheels for sale in the Wheel & tire section
