want a 4 door

[rmousir]

I have a '87 325is. I really like it but it is starting to need some work. Tune up, new rear shocks, new rear brake pads, new exhaust/muffler. So I am looking at doing this and I figure I can do it for not so much money. But at the same time I really need a 4 door car. So my question is, how hard is it to trade these cars? I would be up for a 4 door E30. On the current market I am not to interested in to many new cars. They just are not as good as my e30, does any one else feel this way?

I love that this is a classic car already and it is a strong performer but the 4 door would be better suited for my life style right now. So I was thinking that I could sell this one, trade it in on another car, park it and by another car, or trade it straight across.

Thoughts? I figured I would ask you folks since you are the most knowledgeable E30 folks on the net. I have not had such a hard time with making a decision with a car before. I really like this car and would like to keep it but I can't see holding on to it and buying another car.

Thanks very much for any comments or suggestions.

i personally like the look of the 4 door better
look at some pictures and see which you like better
if you prefer the 2 door keep it in your garage and get something not to expensive that suites you. If not you could also always buy another one thats also a 4 door :) that way you dont have to choose. I say go with a 4 door but take a look at the galleries and stuff. Pictures always help. As for trades, it shouldnt be to hard to trade for a 4 door, alot of people like 2 doors more anyways so its all up to you and some time to find the right 4 door to trade.

lol a straight trade is a very viable option. if you werent in ohio, my uncle wants to trade his zinno four door for a coupe, or even an e34.

We ALL feel that way.

Keep the coupe, find a sedan.

E30s need company, so you cannot own one.

maybe I will just do the exhaust and go from there. putting the kids in the back all the time is a bit of a pain. The 4 door would be nice to have right now. Don't want a payment either, so I will try to stay away from the car lots.

if you were closer id just trade you. lol

I would be open to a trade but we will see what happens. Thanks for the kind words.

I have a 'vert and want/need a 4dr!!

[rmousir]

for now I guess I am going to get off my butt and get some work done on the car. Will start saving for the exhaust. Maybe just put some cheap o stuff on it. I don't know.

4door e30s are the shit.

I have a 90 325i sedan (5 speed) that I'm looking to sell once my other project is complete.
Here's a few pics..
