Or I could use the forum for its intended purpose and obtain information from people with sources such as Johnny above me. Thanks though.
So, any question answered before on this forum is obsolete, because why would anyone search for anything when they can start a thread and get spoon fed answers on the most basic shit?
TROOF!
My IS350 cranks out 306hp from factory and is a total snoozefest compared to my all-stock 325is with 168hp.
If I wanna be a hooligan, and have fun driving it's my 325is! If I want comfort and speed with no drama/excitement, it's IS350 :nice:
Understood! I reckon the 325e would be a decent "ice breaker" to the world of BMWs! I can post pics of the 325e here to get your guys' opinion if that's cool! Speedo, MPG guage and fuel gauge does not work. Windows don't work. 120,000 miles. Asking price of $2,500. Interior is clean and exterior could use paint.
Are you the type to rebuild engines, take the engine and transmission out and refurbish front and rear subframes?
There are a lot of posts and how-to threads for taking a b27 block and adding a b25 head/intake/wire harness/DME to make a hybrid. It’s basically a 327seta but not exactly.
I lean towards making the cars just like they were fresh off the assembly line, so I’m not going to be rebuilding engines. You could just restore that car and it would be a great driver. I got my son an eta and got myself an i and we love them, maybe a little too much, lol.
You could always use the eta for a daily and buy an i some time later for fun and mods.
I feel like many here would say $2500 is a bit high for that condition. You’re looking at a couple thou just to get it driving right, another 2k to make it look nice.
My son has the 1987 325e, 2 door, 5speed
I daily the 1989 325i, 4 door, 5speed

Knowing close to nothing about these engines is an obstacle I will have to overcome. Another obstacle I have to face is the lack of availability in my area. This is the only E30 for sale I can find across multiple websites. I do like the idea of just light modifications to the engine, suspension upgrades and restoring it to be an enjoyable daily driver though. Motor, ECU, and transmission the only difference between the 325e and the i? If that's the case, I can buy this, restore it, and later swap everything over if I can find affordable parts/donor car.

Ya know, you're right.
I can't believe you're the only one giving him shit. Jesus, R3V, what the hell happened? You've gone soft.

If the body is straight with minimal rust, and it runs, drives then that's a good deal for a low mileage car.
I'm not aware of a stock interior like that but it looks great despite being comfort seats. If the body is solid, 5spd and runs well I'd say it was a no brainer particularly if you are in an area where are none to be had.

Mine is the same blue color cloth but my seat surfaces aren’t houndstooth, stripe pattern and I like it very much.
The vertical striped seats didn't come in until about '89 from what I have seen, at least in the US. They are also a substantially less hard wearing fabric as they separate at the vertical weave, so houndstooth all the way, even if it can lose definition as it wears.
