Junkyard IX find

[bluebmw.com]

you are going to have a really hard time finding this. i don't think i have ever seen a u.s. model sedan that came from the factory with sports. i have seen a few in europe.

Does that make my ix a rarity? It's 4 door/sedan with every option, including sport package and heated seats. I imported the car this year - it's a 1990 Canadian-Spec model.

I've seen a few in the US, I think they're more common in ix sedans but I've seen them in 325i models also. I'd just really prefer using the sedan specific sport seat frames instead of the coupe in my sedan project.

In the US, on the 4 door E30s sport seats were only available on the 1991 325i Sport. Only 121 of them were built.

DAMN! That car got hit hard.. If there was someone behind the wheel at the time, I bet it rung their bell.

Oh yeah. It looks like someone ran a stoplight and just clipped the front of the car at a 90 degree angle.

Nando- I don't think you would want this front diff... The passenger side bearing is completely frozen, and the way the axle bent I wouldn't be surprised if there's damage to the gears themselves. It took a sledge hammer and a big ass prybar to get the half shaft out of the front diff:

Wow, that was a hard hit!
