    1987 325is s52 Restoration - Updated Price

    Hi R3v,

    The time has come to sell one of my two e30s. Over the next 6-8 months I'll be unloading both of them in preparation for a move. But for now, up for sale is my swapped 2dr. With such a short work commute, I don't have nearly enough opportunities to really use and enjoy this car. I'm hoping to find a buyer who can and will take it out and drive it hard.

    Serious offers will be entertained. Shoot me a PM and let's talk. Not open for trades. No tire kickers or joy rides. Thanks for understanding.

    Here's the TL ; DR:

    1987 325is 2dr sedan AW(II) s52b32 swap completed in early 2013
    Chassis mileage: 155,xxx
    Engine mileage: 58, xxx
    Ice-cold A/C? Yes
    Tons of fun? Yes
    Located in N. NJ

      Why are you calling it a "2 dr sedan?"

                I've read in a few places that the proper designation for 2-door e30s is still sedan. That they aren't really coupes as they still have clearly defined a, b, and c pillars. Could be wrong, I'm not an expert on it, this is just what I've read.

                Thanks for looking.

                  No way... Can't believe you are letting this one go

                  This car is the real deal, I've been drooling over it at Guten since I have been going to them for the last few years.

                  GLWS!

                    Thanks Mark, haha. I'll entertain serious offers. This is not the car for everyone, I know that.

                    If you can find me something comparable, and professionally done, I'll gladly adjust accordingly.

                    I appreciate the feedback.

                              IMHO it's worth every penny. GLWS!!

                              I have seen this car a number of times at Guten and am always impressed by the details. There isn't a cleaner BMW with a s52 out there, including the ones that came from the factory with it.
                              faint in, throttle out.
