well thats disappointing.

So after 3 months of searching for a 325I I finally purchased my first e30 325i. I was completely stoked to finally have one and the project plans startin rolling through my head. As a week or two went by I started to look for the door cards to find the weight of the car. When I looked closer I saw 325E!!!!!! Upon more research I found to my dismay that the previous owner "lied" or didn't know that it was in fact a 325e. Shame on me should have researched more and found out sooner the obvious differences between the two. Oh well have to change some plans. Any recommendations?

lol i dont see why you would be so upset. is it an 88? if its an 88 you should be happy!

if its not an 88, then you just have a normal eta motor. you can go m20b25, 2.7i, m50 or s5x, or turbo it... you have options, who says you have to stick with what you have?

S50 or m30 swap.

Eh. The SETA stroker really isn't any quicker than a stock B25, and you have to pay/work for it.

OP, you fail at cars. You have done a bunch of research but didn't notice a 4500/5000rpm redline?

I'm waiting to find out that it was originally an 'e', but was converted to an 'i', and that's why the OP didn't notice.

At least I hope...

From the lack of pics I'm guessing you also bough a digital camera only to find out later it was a stapler.

well it is an 88 "super" eta. Whatever that means. I've tried researching that but all I get is the "my 'super' 1988 e30 build"...don't care. Pics are on a previous thread titled "finally an e30 owner". And no I didn't really think of the tachometer only going to 6k cause I was too fucking excited cause I finally found an e30 in my area, and at the time I didn't know the redline differences, yes, huge fail on my part.

Well lucky for you, it's an 88, so all you have to do is drop an i head on it and then it will be a 325i.

[eurotrash]

no it will be a 327i. some of the torque of the 2.7 and some of the hp of the 2.5. yay!!!!

[mr.vang]

either way, you bought it for $500 only which is a steal so i don't see why your so upset.

[yert315]

That is NOTHING to be ashamed of, my friend. Your project plans may have just improved
