    I'm Confused...

    Alright in my school parking i saw a blue e30 that was quite beat up. After a quick look i got confused. It says 325e on the back, has eta cluster, metal bumpers, but has the 89+ taillights, and the front valence of a i/is just missing the fron i or is spoiler. So i'm really confused what this car originally was. what do you guys think?

      no, 1988 never had a 325e. only a 325.

      Production of the post-facelift metal bumper cars started in 9/87.

      The last 325e was manufactured in june of that year.

      CDoos...did the back look like the car in my sig?

        Pre-facelift tails are nasty. *shivers*

          Post facelift cars have fat asses.

          Pre Facelift is more graceful and raw power.

                      Yes it did, does your front end have a facelift as well?

                        I think bimmerphile might be right because the "e" at the end of the 325 looked like someone had put it on themselves, it was a bit crooked. So it must have been a 88 325.

                              ...88 etas have two pipes. Pretty much the same as the "i" exhaust system visually...save a few "minute" differences upfront.
