    Early Model 325e 5sp Coupe Part Out

    R3V-

    A buddy wrecked his '85 coupe and after much deliberation, he decided to not fix and move into a different chassis.

    Which means it's here for us to use to finish our builds! I'd like to make big stuff go away sooner than later.

    Stuff like body panels/interior/glass I'm happy to wheel and deal on if you're local.

    Details:
    -Located in 46013, just north of Indianapolis
    -Will ship all small/medium stuff. Won't ship huge stuff like body panels
    -Paypal accepted for online transactions
    -Cash monies accepted for in person transactions

    Drivetrain:
    -M20b27 stuff - ask
    -G260 - $550
    -Manual Pedal Assembly - $250
    -Manual Driveshaft - $250
    -Open diff
    -325e rust free front OEM catalyst section

    Interior:
    -Early PearlBeige Coupe Cards/Pulls/Pockets/Rear seat - can be separated as needed
    -Poorly reupholstered comfort seats
    -13 button OBC equipped
    -325e cluster (will check if it's front or rear coding plug)

    Body:
    -Sunroof parts to be assessed/priced later
    -Rust free coupe door shells (gutted) - $75/ea
    -Rust free trunk lid - $75
    -Car was a Georgia car, so this car should have some good rust repair metal

    Suspension:
    -Rust free rear subframe - $250
    -Rust free trailing arms - $150ea

    You may want to post rear trailing arm assemblies on E21 groups -- sell them with hubs and rear brakes. '84 and '85 E30 325 didn't have ABS, and had smaller hubs compared to later E30s -- same as E21. These assemblies, therefore, make a very nice, seamless, bolt-on upgrade for E21s as they came with drum rare brakes.

    The steering wheel is probably worth something too.

        ​E30 trailing arms don't work in E21s. Unless you just mean rear hubs/brakes? Pretty sure those aren't a bolt on solution either. Unless you have a 323i, in which case e30 brakes aren't a notable upgrade.

        Betting door seals are shot- it was a Georgia car, so everything seal related is baked to perfection. Will check B pillar trims, they typically disintegrate when breathed on.

              PM me with the diff you’re looking for. open or LSD, and ratio. I have a bunch of diffs. I can ship but it’s not cheap. $125 or so just for shipping.

                  Yes, 323i came with disk brakes from the factory, so this an upgrade for 320i that came with drum brakes. I'm no expert on E21, the compatibility info came from my friend who's a top-notch BMW mechanic, and wanted them for one of his 320i customers. My track car was built on the '85 chassis and got all new suspension and brakes, so I sold him my rear assemblies for hubs and calipers. They were just attached to the trailing arms. :-)

                    Any chance you have an idle control valve?

                        I have a tested early model ICV, yes.​

                        I have switches with good lettering from other cars, minus circuit breaker. It's best to buy the graphic kit for the circuit breaker and then matte clear over it.

                          If this is after 09/1985, I'll take the two rear side indicator lights+bulb socket shipped to 92058.

                            I have pacific blue houndstooth coupe interior (non sport) in nice shape minus drivers seat available. Nice carpet, cards, rear seat, etc. Not sure if you're local or not.
