SOLD!
It pains me to write this but Im selling my 1990 325i (M50) coupe. Ive own this car for 8+ years and have put a lot of work into it. The car was completely stock when I bought it. It comes with a salvage title due to an accident (before my ownership). It took a hit to the right front which caused the rail to crush but it has been aligned several times are drives straight and within spec. The car has been repainted at some time in its life so the paint (imo) could use a respray if your picky. I did bring a lot of it back to life (plus some) but showroom condition, nope.
The vinyl coming off the center bottom of the drivers seat and a passenger bottom bolster. There is no rust at all. A little after the swap the SRS light has come on on the check engine panel. There is a crack on the windshield that is not within viewing area. This car has always passed inspection with no problems. The sunroof works without leaks. No a/c.
The odometer stopped weeks after I bought it and stopped at 126K. I replaced it with new gears but failed again. For the most part, I have been DDing it. It may be somewhere about 190K on the chassis but lots of new parts. The M50 engine that I put in a couple of years ago has been flawless. It is neither loud nor raspy, just a good troaty sound. The cruise control works.
Now here is a list of some of the highlights the car has.
M50NV with ~113K
MarkD chip
98 M3 rack
3:73S rearend
Z4 2.5 SSK with ZHP knob
Hella H4s
Crack free dash
Leatherette sportseats that work.
Rear headrest
Stock HU with premium speakers
Eurogrills
Red tails
US plate filler
Bilsteins sports on all corners
H&R sports, coupe specific
15mm drophats
16x7.5 throwing star reps with 225/45 KDWs
Recent battery
I became a member of the BMWCCA when I bought this car. It was my first of three but Im trimming the fleet. This is not some clapped out e30. I like my cars clean and this one was no exception. A few months back, I took it to The Vintage of the Vineyards for its 1st and only autocross. It performed beautifully. With 8 years of ownership, I can give you almost a play by play since I picked it up. It is 23 year old car so I sure im leaving out a few things but this is some information. What is not included is the armrest and the Volvo lip. I replaced the front valence with one in better condition and I put a "i" lip on it. My build thread is linked below.
Cheers.
