Nice. Can't go wrong with an amicable trade.
I'd bet replacing the shock mount is all that's needed as long as the tower itself isn't rusted or bent up in some way. It's a common failure, especially if the car is lowered.
What accordion flex pipe? My exhaust doesn't have any flex pipe. There are little metal donuts that should seal the pipes together, they're like $3 each. I found a mercedes part that cross referenced when I did mine, the local napa had it in stock but would have had to order the BMW specific one.

Actually traded my 95 gmc Z71 for it, went from 8 mpg to a whole lot more!
Reality was both were worth about the same, but the guy didn't want the stereo in the GMC, so I did get to keep all that.
Intake boot was shredded,
the 90 bends off the throttle body need jb welded in,
the ICV was gunked up pretty bad,
Valves need done (this weekend if everything goes as planned)
Passenger rear shock is messed up, the bar goes right through the top of the mount. Honestly not sure if I need a new rear shock, or a new top plate.
And the rear tires are bald,
Oh and the accordion flex pipe is leaking, (exhaust taped for now) And I need new doughnut gaskets in the rear of the exhaust too.
If you guys know what gaskets I need back there would help me a lot, as well as how you guys are fixing a leaking accordion flex pipe?Leave a comment:

$1200? Not bad!
I'd have the repair painted just so that if you end up getting tired of the dip and peel it there will be something nice looking underneath.Leave a comment:

BMW newby checking in
Hi everyone, Im a first time BMW owner here. Got a 89 325iS coupe, 5 speed, previous owner neglected a lot of the maintenance on her, so Ive been busy getting all that corrected.
Love this little car though!
And look at the shitty rear speaker set up, I did NOT do this.
Car had a tree fall it at one point, so I plan on getting this all bondod out smooth and painted. Im kind of tossed if I should match and blend the red, or go glossy plastidip anthracite grey.
