Just brought these home today - 1987 325is, and 1988 325is. Both are autotragics, both are zinnoberrot, both need attention everywhere, neither run.
The '87 popped up on ebay and it was local. It was previously a Texas car so it has no rust. Regardless, it's in very rough shape and needs a complete overhaul. If everything goes as planned, it will get new paint, new interior, and receive a 2.7i and manual tranny from my old car.
In the ad, the guy said he had an "identical" 88 iS if the buyer wanted it. We ended up getting that one, too. The body has more rust, it was painted some crappy burgandy color, and it has an eta cluster and 153 ecu
. This one i'm feeling is going to be the sort of challenge that is not fun.
88 in front. at least it has some decent weaves and tires. But, no sports seats???
the 87 was repainted very poorly and sports some ultra stylish chrome fender trim and bling wheels. The 88 was simply painted black between the taillights. :roll:
88 with eta cluster... this makes my head hurt. i wish i had been there with my dad and bro when they went to look at these cars. They bought them on the spot thinking that these cars were in awesome shape. :???:
88 bay. i'm kind lost on what those hoses are doing.
the 88 key
But, it has a map light mirror!
i need a new one of these. they have em at NAPA, right?
The '87 interior is scary. dash and everything is roached. Carpet in both cars needs replacing. Oh, and worst recovering job on sport seats ever.
help
some messed up valence shit going on with both cars.
Wish me luck! I'm going to need it.
