First e30! [1989 325i M-tech II]

Nice find! Almost like mine, except the interior.

Do you have any more pics of the interior? Both our VIN decodes say that we both have interior code 0269 which is the anthracite cloth interior. Looks like yours has leather. Do you think it may have been swapped at some point?

Here's my VIN decode:

Wow! It's basically the same exact car! And, the PO swapped the interior for a red leather m3 interior. So originally it was anthracite.

Yeah, that's what I said. Like twins, lol. I just imported mine from Germany. Shipped it in April and didn't get it back until October; major PITA but worth it (to me anyway).


Anyway, post up more pix!!

Damn! Must have been a long 6 months, but definitely worth it!
Anyways, here's the original ebay listing, with a ton of pics :) : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MTech...ht_1138wt_1182

Update



Finally got the transmission out today!



What seems to have happened is the allen bolt on top came loose, and disconnected the mechanics inside, leaving it in reverse.



#25 Here:


This weekend I'm going to see how much it would cost for a transmission shop to split the case and reconnect everything. It has less than 100k miles, and always shifted smoothly, minus reverse.

If not, I'll find a used one.

She's back! Got the transmission replaced, and have had it back for a full week now! Finally got it to emissions also... (After 3 temp tags, and battling dmv for a 4th. Every time I got a tag, something went wrong... but that's another story haha)

Also need to adress the gas leak. When the tank is filled almost full, fuel leaks from around the drivers side rear wheel well, near the muffler. Haven't gotten to take a good look, but the car is completely rust free, so hopefully it's just hoses. (:

Look at the seal around the fuel pump or the hoses at the fuel filter very common issue.
