    1989 325is For Sale - Detroit

    SOLD!

    Hello,

    Up for sale is my beloved 1989 325is. I bought this car about 5 years ago from another enthusiast, and it got me through college. Sadly I have other projects now, so it is just sitting and needs to go to an owner that has the time and resources to fix it back up.

    Stats:
    1989 325is
    Roughly 240k miles
    Leather Sport Seats
    Limited Slip Diff
    Power Sunroof

    Modifications:
    Remus Stainless Steel Cat-Back – Sounds really nice, but a mature sound, not too loud.
    IX body kit w RD rear valance, Smoked Euro Elipsoids, “M3” sport mirrors
    M3 springs
    Bilstien HD shocks
    Urethane control arm bushings, subframe bushings, rear adjustable control arm bushings, billet rear shock mounts.
    Eibach adjustable sway bars
    Eibach upper stut bar.
    Bav Auto Chip, takes 91 or above
    Modified intake, takes a circular K&N filter
    Euro Grilles
    E36 Steering Rack Swap
    Z3 Shifter Lever

    The Good:
    The paint on the car is newer, and shines up really nicely!
    Interior is also in pretty good shape, dash is uncracked.
    New kidney grille, chrome is nice and shiny!
    Newer timing belt and water pump.
    Bentley manual with recent service history included.
    Recently replaced rear diff input seals.
    New radiator

    The Bad:

    Has some rust issues. Mostly underneath the car, so the exterior is fairly unscathed, but there are a few spots popping through, the trunk is the worst.

    I just noticed that the front tires are badly worn on the inside edge, they will need to be replaced before using as a DD and an alignment done.
    The driveshaft has a vibration at highway speeds. And there is a front end shimmy at highway speeds as well. Likely a result of the issues with the alignment / tires.

    The power steering does not work.

    Credit for the pictures goes to my friend Kenny Schabow. They are a bit older, I will snap some more recent ones showing the current condition.

    SOLD!

            If that was a rust-free car in Los Angeles, I'd be throwing fistfuls of money at you right now. Good luck.

              If it was a rust free car and I was in LA I would be keeping it haha! But I just bought a winter beater and I have a 370Z as a company car, so I cant justify letting it sit any more.
