1988 325ix for trade. Interested in 318i/325e

[Kershaw]

not interested in letting it go right now.

I have a 1988 325ix. I've spent a year fixing it up, it's pretty cool, fun to drive. here's why I want to trade, awd is kind of boring and it gets combined 21-23mpg, I see 25mpg highway. I'd like to get that 30mpg eta gas mileage or 35mpg 318i gas mileage. I'm also selling my rx8, so I'd like 4 doors. I'm not dead set on this, but if we can find a mutually beneficial trade, I'm totally up for that. Or something utilitarian, like a truck. Or a touring. A 4 cyl tacoma would be pretty sweet. I'd trade for a stock 4 door eta + cash.

[gr8skyr]

Always loved those RS on your '88/ Are you hanging on to wheels, or parting separately?

Been looking for the RS047 for a while/ Seem pretty rare

Great ix :)

[Kershaw]

bump for m42s.

i'd also consider 318tis or a clean 328i. if it's an e36, the RSs could be negotiated with the ix if the car is nice enough.

[Kershaw]

Organized the data. Bump.

[TehPilot]

Not affiliated...but looks like an honest little car.

Pretty clean body, unmolested engine bay, untorn seats.

I was thinking about buying if I didn't have 5 cars in my driveway haha

I forgot to install 1 led light bulb in the cluster. Tach is not lit. Yes, I can fix this for you.
It just tore an axle boot on the passenger side. I redid this axle a year ago. Lowering the car puts a lot of stress on the rubber cv boots, combined with the heat from the exhaust manifold, you should not expect the boot under it to last.

Looks great.. DO you still have the beauty? Just pm me some more pics I would love to show to my dad before making any deal
