    New Owner! 1991 325i 4door

    Bought this on Monday night... $2700. Already have about $185 in parts and $500 in labor to do timing belt/water pump/valve adjust and gasket/front cover gaskets and seals, cam seal, thermostat, oil change and coolant change...





    Bought it as a "winter car" to keep my 1969 2002 out of the Indiana salt this winter, am actually selling the 02 to pay for e30. Ive got some 15x7.5" ET33 (-8mm spacers=25mmET) Ronal LSes to put on it, but after the melt this spring... I am heavily into 02s (co-founder of www.bmw2002faq.com) and am looking forward to e30 love! :)

                Actually YES, and NO! It *had* a glass moonroof, but the PO said it flew out of the roof on the freeway, and he replaced it with a black metal sunroof piece just to seal up the car. replacing the glass one (he went back and got it, and it survived!) will be one of my future projects. not a priority at the moment but something to look forward to! :)

                Thanks everyone, I sprayed the interior with vinyl protectant (turtle wax F21) and it is looking NICE. I thought it was leather at first but im pretty sure its vinyl. oh well, cant win em all... ;)

                  this is my 02, for sale!! :)



                  pic is a few years old... its in a bit worse shape now (most evidently from bent-up passy door), and like i say, those wheels are going on the e30 after spring melt. ;)

                    dang, that's a pair of nice cars right there. I'm over in Fishers, tight across indianapolis from you. If you need help with anything, need parts, or have stuff for sale, let me know ;).

                    Good luck fixing the moonroof. Great find, as well. Most of the indiana e30s are beat to death.
