My new MINT 1989 325ix A LOT

[mph]

No recaro's, no real leather, no full OBC, and automatic. Really not my type a car, but if you are happy with it thats all that matters. Now to comment on the condition, the car looks MINT, and I envy you for it...

Thanks man. The non-sport seats are pretty comfortable. This will be my first car with the non-sport seats.

As far as the Valence having a dent in it, the PO's wife bumped into a flower pot. Its nothing that can't be pulled out by hand, which I may do tomorrow.

Joe Funk's '88 M3 has under 60K too.

I wouldn't exactly call it Mint, but its damn near close to it :up:

Looks cool.

Car looks pretty good. just take care of it and keep it that nice. I agree with your point where some people buy a 3k car and just end up dumping 5k into it to make it nice. congrats!

do they have to be chasis miles, or can they be motor miles? I'm only running like 20k on my motor, and my friend kyle is running 900 miles., both iS's.

Generally when people refer to how many miles their car has, they speak of chassis miles. I'm sure there are plenty of people on here who have less than 60k on a rebuilt engine (myself included).

good looking, but again an Auto ix, and non-sport seats, eh- eh,
I got my last 325ix (91) with 70k on it for $4500 at at least it had leather and a manual, and my latest ix the 88 with 218k on it for $2100 and now a year later has 245K , still runs like a champ, don't count miles count the options it has everyting else can be fixed with a parts car. Like tha car though as long as I don't think about the price paid. ouch!

I was speaking of chasis miles, or orginal miles :)

Do iX's have a lot less caster than other E30's?

yep, that's fixed easily enough with some M3 offset bushings...

the car looks very clean. I'd give it a good cut and polish (those water spots would drive me nuts), and that engine bay is spotless!

[randomtask37]

i know im gona sound like an idiot...

but, what exactally is caster? is it how forward or back the wheel sits in the wheel well?

[nando]

sort of, it's the angle of the strut from the side of the car. kinda like camber, just on a different plane.
