1988 BMW 325 model question

[amdspitfire]

I see a 1988 BMW 325 for sale, is this the super ETA or is that only the 1988 325e?

The breakdown doesn't show the plane 325 as a 88 model.

should be a super eta if it's an 88 model.

Look for the telltale signs- it'll have the really skinny intake manifold runners, but the i style ICV and crank sensor, with no sensors on the tranny like the standard eta.

There are a couple of other signs- search if you really need a list.

If it has aluminum bumpers, the bigger/later style tails, the skinnier intake runners on the intake manifold, badged a 325 but the sticker in the door jam says 325e = Super eta

If it has all those things, its a Super Eta.

I think it is a super eta ;), stupid not to pick it up for <400?

It will have a 5k RPM redline.

It will have a 5k RPM redline.

yep, and a 6k tach.

early bumper, late taillights.
ETA runners, late-style cooling system (resv on teh driver's side)

kinda the bastard child of e30s, but one of the best IMO

You can sell the motor thats in it for 500, and you have a full perfect car with tranny and all for a swap car. :)

<400 is a good deal if the car is in reasonable condition.
