Worth it?? New e30 owner

[R32toE30]

So i just picked up my 88 325is w/ 99k original miles. Shes beautiful....

Anyways I want to start fresh with all of the major items at 100k. Came across this kit on ebay, seems to cover all the trouble items.

Looks like a decent deal, as long as they're OEM and not some cheap knock off brand. The stuff in the picture looks OEM at least.

Beautiful car BTW! it's good to know there are still some mint/low mile E30s out there waiting to be found..

well one thing I see missing right off the bat are the half moon plugs for the rocker shafts. Without those, the valve cover gasket is almost guaranteed to leak. PN for those is 11331264519. They sell for about 75 cents a piece most places

That is an incredible looking 325is. Any more pics?

lol, these are not oem....

these parts are from some company that sells chinese knock off BMW parts for cheap. Parts are usually labeled "OE" to try to trick you.

That being said, it doesn't mean that the kit is not worth it. If your not going to be beating the living shit out of your car on the track, these parts are more than adequate. For my knock off OEM replacements, I use FCP Groton. They've been good to me thus far.

If you like I can get you estimate on OEM stuff, along with any used odds and end you may need for your new ride.

Definately need more pictures.

where in southern CA did you find it?

My god, that looks like a good deal.

[jaycheetwood]

Honestly I think you could get all those parts for far less..

between pelican parts and rockauto you could easily beat that.

I found it on the forums and drove out to Ranch Kookamonga, lol.

Im still blown away thats its almost 23 years old. The interior and exterior look as good if not better than cars that are 5 years old. Will get more pics soon

Yeah if you dont mind getting quotes. I would rather pay the extra money and go with OEM even if I am not tracking it. I need basically everything in the kit plus maybe a few more odds and ends.

I also need a battery mounting bracket (didnt come with the car).

Thanks for the help.

I will get more pictures soon!

Welcome to R3V, bud.

Nice looking car, too.

Don't forget to make a laundry list and get it to www.blunttech.com and have Blunt get you a quote. He clowns around on this forum a lot, but he is dead serious about being the best place to get parts.
