eeek, put the deposit down today, looking to pick it up this weekend. this time i wanted a clean, original, late model with records, not really caring what motor it had. and this is what i found.

'91 318is, 140k, alpine
2 owners, dealer maintained till 120k
all records
all hoses replaced
new radiator
new steering rack
all original numbers matching panels
new dash
grey cloth interior
bosch euro ellipsoids
euro moldings
IE3 springs
bilstein sports
new suspension and brake components.

picked it up for $3100. it's clean, that's all i care about.


on another note, as soon as parting is done on the 325, i'm calling ecology to pick up the sucker. if anyone IN SO CAL wants the shell (still has interior, m20b25, tranny, and some other stuff), notify me before next week.

[nickmp0wer]

if you are going to be putting some other suspension in, i might be interested in the ie's and bilstiens

[e30sd]

You know you love the M42. Don't deny it.

I am beginning to come to the conclusion myself that a nice clean
low mileage 1991 318is may be the way to go. Love that no-timing-belt
to-deal-with feeling.

The 325is was last made in 1990 and it is hard to find one that is not beat to hell. There are 1991 325i models around but then you have to contribute
your own sport seats, spoiler, and LSD (if I am not mistaken).

Good luck and oh I am also looking for some IE stage 3's and Bilsteins -
even been trying to buy ColdAccord's--- except I just needt the front
sports...
