    feeler: 1988 325iX lachsilber/cardinal - 2 door, manual

    I'm considering buying a new car but would need to sell my little bundle of joy-

    1988 325iX

    - My dad bought it for my brother in 2004 I think and I got it in Spring 2005. We bought it from a dealership with about 101,000 miles.

    - lachsilber exterior, straight body, no wrecks, beautiful original paint.

    - mint cardinal red sport interior.

    - 122,000 miles

    Suspension
    - koni SA shocks (6/2006)
    - B&G springs. (6/2006)
    - GC bumpstops (6/2006)
    - Bimmerworld RSM. (6/2006)
    - Tie rod ends replaced (6/2006)
    - This isn't really suspension, but I rebuilt the front calipers while I was doing suspension just because. (valvoline brake fluid)

    Exterior
    - Nice, original lachsilber paint
    - Blacked out sidemarkers
    - DIY smoked tail lights
    - Tucked bumpers
    - ASA AR1 wheels w/ Yokohama Parada tires (6/2006)
    - Rieger infinity front lip
    - debadged
    - 35% (I think) window tint
    - sylvania silverstar bulbs
    - blacked out kidney grills

    I will also include the stock 15x7 basketweaves.

    Interior
    - Nice, original cardinal red sport interior
    - AC Schnitzer eBay pedals and door sills
    - M Tech 1 steering wheel w/ new ///m badge
    - MB Quart front speakers and tweeters
    - Right now it has an Alpine headunit but I'm not sure what will be included, but something will be there.
    - Momo shift knob
    - leather e36 e-brake handle
    - Euro fog light switch
    - German check panel

    Engine
    - BavAuto PowerFlow intake
    - Custom heatshield
    - Oil Changed every 3-4k w/ Castrol High-Mileage
    - K&N and Mahle Oil Filters used (Currently has K&N)
    - we bought the car with about 101,000 miles and the dealer said the timing belt and water pump were replaced when he got the car.

    It had a full tune-up last summer (2005) and also had an oil and power steering leak fixed. At the same time the CV boots/joints were repacked.

    problems
    There aren't many, but there are a couple minor problems with the car.

    - It doesn't have a glove box right now. The latch was broken and stuck locked when we got it so last summer we broke it open (the right way) and I never got around to getting a new one (~$30)

    - The gas gauge doesn't work. It is either a loose screw on the back of the cluster, or the fuel sending unit needs replaced. no big deal either way, just never got around to it. I just go by when the low fuel light comes on, it's time to get gas.

    - The balljoints clunk and so the control arms would need replaced to stop the clunks, but it still drives.

    - It doesn't have a muffler right now. it was kinda falling down so we tore off the muffler to replace it, but I thought it sounded cool, so I just left it open.

    - It needs an alignment.

    - The steering wheel shakes a bit on the highway between ~53 and ~61 mph. This is either because of an out of balance tire(what I think), or it needing an alignment.

    - The power steering leak that was fixed last summer is back, but it's not as bad. I just have to add a little bit of fluid every few weeks. But sometimes the leak is worse than other times depending on how I am parked.

    That's it. That may sound like a lot, but I just wanted to get everything out there that is wrong with it.

    Don't you think that could be caused by the bad ball joints you mentioned in the first part of the post? Could also be an alignment like you've suggested.

    Seems like a nice clean car, are you taking offers?

      No headrests or ski access/armrest in the backseat? Clean ride, good luck with the sale!

      Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
      Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
      Lobsterbacks attack the town again
      Wrap all my things in aluminum
      Beams of darkness streak across the sky
      Pink rays from the ancient satellite
      Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
      Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.
