1989 325i Four Door Sterling Silver
This car has been my pride and joy for the past three years. I’ve had a great deal of fun and learned a lot building it. I have service records for the car starting in 1998, and receipts for everything I’ve put into it. The car has been under boost since January, and since then the only issues have been one ECU driver gone bad (promptly fixed by keith), and the first turbo I built losing a compressor wheel (failed to correctly torque compressor nut). Learned my lesson, and bought a whole new center section. The whole assembly was completed by GPOP out in Arizona. I drive this car every day, starts every time, doesn’t smoke, gives me no issues. It’s been conservatively street tuned at 8 psi, AFR’s around 11.5 in boost. Compression numbers range from 150-155 across all cylinders. All windows, sunroof, and all gauges (except MPG gauge as MS doesn’t drive that, and odometer) are functional. All four door cards are in nice condition, the carpet, rear shelf, and floor mats were just re-dyed in June. The car has been resprayed at some point in its life, and the silver hides its flaws well. The front bumper was also just resprayed in June from a parking lot scratch. The only real flaws with the car are the kiss of rust present on the inside bottom edge of the doors, and that the driver’s side of the front valance has been tweaked since I bought the car. Neither of them terribly noticeable, but they’re there. I’m selling to get into either an S13 coupe or an E36 M3 (planning an L33 swap). I’d be interested in trading for either of those, plus cash on the S13. Ultimately I’m looking to get 7900 OBO. PM me and we can discuss the car over the phone.
Included with Sale: 15x7 Racing Dynamics 5 spokes powdercoated white, enough tire for a drift event. Good m20b25 Block. NA Header. Factory Radio with code. Wastegate dump pipe I never put on.
