    WTB: Parts for 87 325e... driveshaft, brake lines, etc...

    Car is a 1987 325e 5speed manual 03/1987 build date.

    Bought in August 2009 and want to buy some things for it. Some are asap, others just bits and pieces that I'd like to fix up for cheap/free if I come across those parts.

    Things I need ASAP:

    Driveshaft... mine is bad so I'm looking for a used one with about 150,000 or less (give or take 10k or so... mine's 205k miles old). It tore up the center bearing in about 5k miles so the u-joints are most likely the culprit.
    ICV... I've had rough idle since I bought the car last August... I checked the lines and tried cleaning out stuff with carb cleaner but nothing has worked so far, so I want to try a different ICV and see if that ends the erratic idle. Let me know what you have.


    Random things I need/want to fix up the car (these I'll buy if someone is basically just giving them away for very cheap/next to nothing as I don't really need them but would be nice to fix):

    Knob for sunroof
    clock/OBC unit (pictured here)

    will post more as I come up with them.

      Be sure to specify auto or 5 speed

      This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.

          How many miles on it? What car did it come from? Does it have a center support bearing and if so how old is that?

          Bump.

            Bump... will any pre 09/1987 5 speed driveshaft fit my car or is there a difference in thickness? What's the difference between the 3 part #s on this list...

                How many miles? IF it's manual it should fit.

                            I think the 84 one is different. Let me know how much and I might just try it anyway if it's cheap enough.

                            Thanks.
