Looks like a great platform and has serious potential. Nice, low miles, too!

I'm running Ireland Engineering stage III race springs with Koni adjustable shocks, and I LOVE it. Great setup.

And use Castrol Super Clean.

Whoa whoa whoa. Did you buy a 325is, 325 or a 325es? Is that 325i or a super ETA? Based on the tach it would be a super ETA would it not? I havent ever seen a 325i with a 5K redline. Anyone else?!

[RoyBoy]

325is...

[Van Westervelt]

you might have been had based on your tach man...

[Van Westervelt]

Super ETA's redline is just above 5K where an "i"s is about 6K. Super ETAs were only made in 87 and 88 I beleive. Unless someone put in a wrong tach, seems unlikely. More likely that they switched badges and raised the value of the car that way. Whats the VIN #?

[kailuaboy]

Check the stickers in the door, and the vin!!!

The reason everyone is asking is because the tach on a i goes to 7000 rpm, and a e only goes to 6000 rpm

[RoyBoy]

uuh.. the Vin/Title say IS...

the confusion lies int he fac thte instrument panel is not the OEM one, i have receipts for the change of head gasket, seals, and other engine components, along with a fully functional dash, and the cluster was guaranteed by the BMW tech to be correct.

who knows, maybe i got ripped off, i still lovin the car, pretty sure i'll just be trusthworthy of the guy and say it is an IS

[kailuaboy]

and if you cant figure it out post a pic of the engine, specifically the intake manifold.

[RoyBoy]

what am i looking for on the vin for it to be a "is"?

[mikeedler]

not a super ETA, has the small taillights(as far as i know.)
drop it and some rimz!
Im retarded on the U.S. stuff, but isnt that the es front spoiler.
