My new MINT 1989 325ix A LOT

[mph]

As I said before, the car is MINT. I just had my old Alpine CD Deck put in it today. The car was all stock before I got it, now the stereo is no longer stock :)

Not to rain on your parade but I see residue from a recent "cut and polish" all over the car.. that and there are still alot of areas with pink tinge to them from oxidation damage. Doesn't look like a car with well kept paint to me....

I was loving it, and then I saw this pic:

Well kept paint for 15 years. The car hasn't been repainted or touched up anywhere. I have every receipt for the car since it was new. The pink "tinge" you are seeing is most likely from the crappy Fuji Film digital camera I have (some pictures have flash, others don't). The only place with the pink tinge you are refering to is the mirrors.

Dont tell me about the paint condition and tinges... I spent 3 years doing cut and polishes in various detail shops i've worked in. I know what I see.. from a mile away.

how come your knee bolster is from a 5spd e30?

Nice car....but $8,600 is a lot of money.
What are your plans for it?

I am telling you about the paint condition because my digital camera is a POS. I'll post some pictures of quality soon from my friends Canon Powershot digital camera. Big difference. In person, there aren't any 'tinges.'

I had it appraised today: $12,000 was the value.

Timing belt was just replaced when the transfer case was. The PO wanted the transfer case replaced to stop the leak.

I have no major plans for it now. I might get some summer wheels for it. I may also get a strut bar, but I'm going to keep it stock for now.

I bought it so I could put the ic in the garage for winter. The ic is terrible in the snow and the ix should do a whole hell of a lot better. A M would be worse :(

6 button OBD? that sucks...

I wouldn't pay so much, but if u really like it and wanted it that bad, i guess u had too

Nice 4x4 ride height ......... oh wait. ;)
Looks clean, but the shift knob is suxor.

Seriously though, your valve cover could REALLY use a coat of black krinkle paint. Buy Josh's (Eurospeed88's) and then paint it and swap it. Would be REAL easy! 8)

looks really clean, i wouldn't say it's mint but nice find anyways. Thats alot of money to spend on an auto though, IMO. Congrats on the new purcahse.

damn 12k appraisal, kinda doubtful, but if you happy with the car, thats what matters.... cool car and good luck
