    Just bought one: for Spec E30 project



    '87 325i

    The good:
    $700
    No rust
    Straight body
    Runs Excellent
    5spd
    Shifts smoothly
    New Tires/ Brakes


    The bad:
    vibration under acceleration, worsens over 70mph- driveshaft center support bearing?
    intermittent speedo
    needs shifter bushings
    rough idle
    check engine light on
    right turn signal blinks twice as fast as it should
    Paint
    Interior

          ^^^ Cons could be fixed easily.

          Great platform to build on also! Great find.

            Probably just needs a guibo for the acceleration vibration problem.

              If you are going to change the guibo then change the CSB and check your U-joints as well

                      I like the... reflections off the hood.

                      Nah, your car is almost identical to mine. Nice find, keep us posted.

                        Clearly, because sedans are the tits.
