This is what $500 buys you in MA

[Rigmaster]

Ya,so I was brousing the local craigs list and I stumbled on a listing for an 87 e30 for $599. It was in Framingham so I was oh shit. I went over there with $500 and picked it up. All the suspension on the car in the garage is going on this new one. The new one is in much better shape. Enjoy, more in a few weeks after the work is done. Oh ya, it is an 87 325I.

Someone stole your "i"............... :O

325i's first appeared as a 4 door in 87', as far as i know, there were no coupe 325i's in america prior to late 1988.

[mikeedler]

i would say its not an i due to the 1 tailpipe-- but still looks nice in the pics for the price you paid for it.

[sticksdaman]

yea there were no US 325i coupes in 87 so either its an eta ...........or its an eta still not bad for 500 clean as shit too!!

Sorry guys, but I've seen more than a handful of 87 325i's over here. Matter of fact, I'm looking at buying one. Chris (UNHCLL) also has one too.

Anyways, this looks to be an ETA, but if you took some underhood shots, we'd be able to confirm. Either way, a nice score, and not rusty at all for salt belt standards.

We've got to get together at some point - you can buy some shit from my garage and have a field day - I've got 9 e30's for christ sake.

In case you're interested, I've got an 88 (late model, lower arches, larger tails) rolling chassis that's real clean - you could buy it and swap all your good parts on it. Let me know!

Scott - in 87 they sold 325iS 2 doors and 325i 4 doors.

Isn't that what I said??? :)

shiny as hell! nice buy for 500, how is everything besides the aesthetics?

I did later find out that is it an eta. Oh well. The car runs great and the only rust on the car is the driver's fender which I can replace because I have two spairs. Thanks for the compliments.

It's not an 88 is it? As in, perhaps a super eta? Look for the tach...
