    89 325i TURBO - VA

    EDIT: NEW PRICE MUST SELL $5000
    I'm selling my beloved turbo car. I've had it about 4 months but I need a more practical daily driver. I want this car to go to a good home.

    The Good
    -125xxx miles
    -TO4E turbo , external wastegate, manual boost controller
    -Mark D chip
    -535 afm
    -HUGE fmi
    -3" exhaust
    -custom coilover suspension
    -brembo rotors
    -stainless steel brake lines
    -vorshlag adjustable camber plates
    -jd turbocharging A/F ratio gauge
    -AutoMeter gauges
    -short shift kit
    -aftermarket oil cooler
    -interior is immaculate

    The Bad
    -chipped up front valence
    -funky electrical problem (sidemarkers, cluster light, rear driving light and front indicator dead)
    -leaks a little oil from my oil cooler job. I have a perfect factory one on hand
    -scratched part of the windshield from (I'm assuming, a crappy windshield wiper in its past)
    -dent/scratch on the fender

    Overall
    -I'd give the paint a 7.5/10
    -It is fast, I mean its a turbo E30!:grin:
    -Shifting through all the gears is just an experience

    You can't see the dent in the fender because it's too recent. And the car is dirty right now so these pictures are when it's clean.

    And if you don't like any of this, keep it to yourself or respectful. Thank you.
    -Matt

      thats a beautiful car, what is the suspension set up? the front looks low and i see camber plates but the rear sits a little high. what wheels are those? i like them a lot, it would look SICK completely dumped. Can you take a head on shot of the front? and a shot of the passenger side?

        I wasn't the one who did the suspension but I believe they are cosmo coilovers. And yes I forgot to mention it has Vorschlag adjustable camber plates.

              this might be a dumb question but, what other maintenance issues would i run into with purchasing a turbo'd car?

                Have you installed an aftermarket radio? Check the dimmer wire for the radio for shorting out. It will kill the entire right side running lights and the dash lights.

                  i did install an aftermarket radio, but a couple mo. ago. I don't recall a dimmer wire, however. This problem just happened a couple days ago trying to re-mount my front bumper

                    Oh, well i had the exact same problem on my car and it was that dimmer wire, it caused a short circut and blew the fuse that runs the right side running lights and dash lights. It may be worth a try to pull the radio. all e30's have the dimmer for the factory radio.

                              What rearend ratio does it have? What turbo manifold does it have? How many pounds of boost? Head studs? Head gasket?

                              Thanks
