new pick up... super clean '84 325e

[ForcedFirebird]

WOW! Looks like mine did when I first picked it up (except mine's an '86 es and has the valence), had 75k miles on it.

Awesome find!

Those pics make the bumpers look huge (mine are un-tucked)

Nice pickup man! I'll be looking for that car at Grinder's...

Nice color, don't let it peel.

yep, but he said it ran perfect, he parked it, and then it wouldnt start the next time he got in it...
im not anticipating any further damage, i assume it happened on startup?

The m20b27 is an interference engine meaning if you timing belt snapped, valve will be bent and rockers will be broken. Regardless if you were
Driving down the highway or just turning it over with the starter. On the brightside, the car is stupidly clean and changing the head and timing belt is cake work.

[ForcedFirebird]

^^^ yup. All the m20's are. No matter what, the starter is strong enough to break parts and at the least, whatever valves were hung open at the initial (try-to) start will be bent.

Damn clean car man, now you have two e30's I'll be jealous of

[PaladinReed]

with head damage, your only option is an "i" top end :D

How bout this, (and I know it's a weird concept) don't change a thing. Keep it stock. It has made it this far as a stock e30, and in great condition, it would be a shame to molest it.
