Looks like a LOT of little niggle things to address (oil leaks, bushings, general-tidying), and based off of the one rats nest photo, the wiring could probably use a good sorting. Looks to be a fantastic deal for someone willing to learn/tinker, or a nightmare for someone who throws it (and their checkbook) at a shop.

Welcome to r3v. What are you hoping to accomplish with the car?

That seems like a solid car at a reasonable price. As with any old car, just make sure all the maintenance stuff is taken care of (fluids, suspension, etc) and it'll be a blast to drive!sigpic

Goal is to have a car to enjoy while I optimize.
Hope to learn as I go.
Ultimate goal is to have a reliable an fun car to enjoy in the Texas hill country during the cold winter.

Not sure your exact location, but I believe Terry and Debbie are going to have their annual 02berfest drive/meet this coming weekend (Kerrvile?). That group of vintage bimmer nuts would be a great local resource for questions and bits. I don't think the even is listed online, but you could shoot them a call.

I think Jordan Sarette is in Houston but he isn't very active on the forum anymore. He might respond to PM if you search his username "Stuck."
I also have a grey market european 323i that's S52 swapped. It's a very common swap from the E36 M3 using BMW parts and very well documented on this site. Feel free to ask questions.Last edited by reelizmpro; 10-25-2023, 11:02 AM."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
