You paid money for that pile of fuck? HIDs on a car like that is just hilarious.

take some day shots...what seems to be rattling?

[Dave]

"i" or "e"?

If its an "e", save yourself the heartache and scrap it now. If its an "i", at least take it to Earl Scheib or Maaco.

I love the HID's... what K are they?

Nice car for a shitbox :)

By rattling he meant the car is spray painted.

Looks like an 'e' to me.

Cant see the exhaust, and the sidemarkers look like they might be the longer skinner ones - what are you basing it on, TJ?

The only 'i' it could be is an 87 325iS and it's lacking both the front and rear spoilers, basketweaves, etc. The fat sidemarkers only came on the 84s and early 85s I believe. Everything else got the skinny ones.

Makes sense. Only 325i in 1987 was a 4 door, right.

I'm not sure about that. I think the only M20B25 car in 87 was the iS coupe but I am unsure like I said.

its an eta. ive been lurking here forever. and no those arent HIDs....plain old elipsoids. i guess the they look like HIDs from when i tried to clean up the pics in photoshop.

also, it was only 400 bucks so its not REALLY that much of a shitcan.

[Digitalwave]

A rattle canned eta is barely worth $400. It's a shitcan...

What are your plans for it?

[Dave]

Looks like New York plates - I am going to go out on a limb and suggest seeing if it floats in the Hudson river.

Welcome 4five6! Now you know why a lot of folks think BMW owners are snooty pricks who think someone keyed their car out of jealousy. Please, let's leave Jordan's throne vacant and not answer a question no one is asking.
