    New guy here.

    Morning All,

    I want to take a minute to let you know I'm new to the Board but as a new owner I hope to be around a bit. I've been active in only one other Board, Grassroots Motorsports. They host an event where you have to build/buy/bring a car and compete in Drag racing, Auto-X and Concourse and spend no more than $2006 and show all receipts.

    Anywho..... I just bought a 1986 BMW 325. It's white with minimal rust, a 6cyl and 5spd. and 130k miles. That's all I know about it. I paid $400. The ECU is an 027, which is for a 325e, but someone noted the intake manifold is from an "i". My plans were to gut it, slam it, slick it and treat it like a sorority girl with low self esteem, but except for the front seats, it's got a nice interior. So far I've replaced the pads and rotors.

    Here's a coupla pics and I'm way open to suggestions.

    Thanx, Dan

          Looks to be in pretty good shape! And for $400 you can't beat the price!

            That looks like an eta intake manifold to me.

              I don't know what that means, I'm not that BMW literate yet.

                eta = "e"
                eg. 325e

                as opposed to "i" for the 325i/is models.

                you probably know the difference between "i" and "e" motors, but if not heres a link:


                yours would be the M20, but depending on the what 325 you have it could be the 2.5i or the 2.7e.
