figured i'd post some pics of my car and the other cars my family owns, i've been a member here for a while, but just got cleared to post so. thanks for looking

my 86 325 with an i engine swap





my dads 88 535is



and our 325iX that we got for 300 bucks with two engines and a trunk full of parts, it needs the engine to be put back together

[Peterkaczynski]

wow fix that ix

[e30_kid]

i'm working on it, the block needs to have new rings and bearing installed along with new pistons and pretty much everything that goes into the engine.

[Alkasquawlik]

internet points to you for resurrecting an iX

[e30_kid]

does anyone know how hard it is to find a 5 speed for an iX? if i can't find one i think i'll live, but a 5speed would make so much better.

[Alkasquawlik]

pretty hard.
5 speed iXs are rare

[Car Addict]

why does the 535is have the regular i front valance?

[e30_kid]

boo for no 5speed iX, oh well, it's still an iX in FL, which makes no sense at all

the is airdam is in my garage. the person who did the clutch on it put it on with 2 zipties i think. it fell off while on the road and my mom drove over it and it is still in good shape, just needs more zipties.

another pic for anyone who cares to look

added chrome kidneys, still trying to decide if i like them better then the black or not

[Hatchman]

def. chrome with diving boards and window trim

I'm in the process of buying a automatic from a guy in Oregon who has 2 manual tranis for sale.Shoot me your email address and maybe you'll get lucky to aquire one.

[red325]

Nice cars. And props to you for doing the engine rebuild

[e30_kid]

the manual tranny that i need is specific to the iX so if he has some of those that would be nice

thanks you, i'm hoping that my parents can sell of our extra vehicles so we can acquire some funds to start buying parts for the rebuild.

[MIKe30]

gonna rip the valence off the ix to match the other two? lol

[e30_kid]

other two? no i don't really plan on it, my 86 isn't missing the valence, it's missing a lip. correct terminology is a good idea. lol
