Info Needed On This Car (pics Inside)

[JasonC]

other then cutting out the frame rail and fixing the rust in the back, if you like that work. Cause for 400 it could be parted out for a little more if you don't deside to fix it.

[mattdk318i]

600 for engine and trans and 300 for the plastic bumper swap. Id part it quick. Did i Mention i hate rust with a passion?

[Keith M]

If its an '86 then then it has a 2.7L eta m20b27 motor. Does it have 2.5L i motor swap?

Is it just me or is the "i" a little far from "325" on the trunk badge?

lol, that 325 seems a bit far off in "left field"


kieth, its got late model tails and dual pipes... its pretty sure to be a b25, mmmkay

[atomic]

but it and part it out only. Hell the bumpers and headlights and foglights would almost make you break even alone..... The rust is just not really worth fixing on it at all. To much work when a nice no rust car can be bought for not much more. I picked up a 91 no rust 325i black/black (nice car unmolested) for $1400

The only way that car would be worth it is if you were prepping it to race in LeMons.

Thats def a 88.5+ car. But dont plan on driving it with that kind of rust damage on that part of the structure. Buy it dirt cheap and part the bumpers,etc.

I agree with this guy.I would be careful buying that car, seems like it may have some crooked paperwork.I would make sure the VIN on dash matches the one on the firewall,doors,fenders,hood,trunk,ect...

[mikeedler]

its a 400 dollar e30 for christ sake!! be careful buying that car?!!!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!
please!
you need to buy that car up for sure. if you have a little mechanical knowledge, rip the interior out of the car and bring it to a back yard shop and they should be able to weld that up for 100 bucks(if you do the prep work cheaper)
or just drive it with the rust hole, I am sure there are alot worrse cars out there than that little rust hole driving around.

if it runs buy that thing ASAP!

yes, it is def. a newer than 86 car.

[JGood]

Yep, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Drive it for a little, decide what it needs. If it's not worth it, part it and make $1k+

You would make that $400 back in the bumpers/apron/fogs like previously mentioned. From there, it's all profit.

I would buy it yesterday.

What I'm saying is.it clearly isn't an 86.Could be hot or something,unless you don't mind going to jail for a felony go ahead and buy it.

ok

well im going to buy the car, everything seems to be in order, i cant loose, if it is rusted out i part it out, if not i have myself a nice little 325i to add to the collection. i just hope i can fix it up, it would be such a sweet car, and damn soon i will have a turbo 84 318i and a 325i. sounds good to me!

[new2bmw]

picking it up

going to pick it up toimmorow, i will have pics and info for ya, i hope its in good shape. cross your fingers for me guys!

[new2bmw]

car dolly

any hints or suggestions on towing a manual tranny car with a car dolly?

[doucy2]

buy it for $300 and part it. thats my opinion

[new2bmw]

got it, its an 89 325is

well, bought it today. The guy has no idea about the engine history so i need some help, what should i replace / change maintenance wise on the engine, oil filter etc. I dont even want to drive it until i have the engine taken care of. it starts fine runs great, then i turned it off. only thing wrong is an oil leak which i think is just the gasket on the oil pan? And the only other thing i noticed was the exhaust had an unburnt gas smell? I so got a deal. still has the unused original spare in the trunk. yes body has a few rust bubbles and a couple holes, where the driver and passenger put their feet and the drivers side fender is missing a chunk at the bottom. Almost the exact same places as my 84 318i. I will def need a new fender. But back to original, if you guys could throw me a list of things to do to the engine to ensure it runs well and is in top shape that would be great.
cheers
