"Lizzy" My Grey 325e

[golde30]

New cooling system, just like I said. In my experience there was no oil in coolant, it was just eating coolant and filling cooling system with air. Steam from exhaust when at operating temp, and top coolant hose super tite and expanded. I suppose if you have a coolant system pressure tester that would be the best way to know.

Im thinking of grabbing this one. Looks super clean and well taken care of. Only adult owners with records. $3000

Do it! I just traded my e30 for a 1994 530i 5 speed! =) Not a touring but I want one!

just be ready to do a HG on the m50. for some reason every single 525iT has had "cooling system refresh", which is just a misdiagnosed HG issue. just putting it out there. also a 5spd conversion is a pretty major job on e34 24v cars. more involved than a 24v drive train swap on an e30.

Hey good to know. So check the coolant for oil? The one I want to look at has had new cooling system parts. I understand the 5 speed swap is involved but I dont think its really that much more than a 24v swap on an e30. Pedal box, hard lines and cylinders, flywheel and clutch, trans, drive shaft, diff. You would end up doing most of that on a 24v swap besides the pedal box, and there is way less wiring involved in the e34, and no fabrication to make anything fit.
I just really like the tourings.

I know somebody selling an E34 Touring in Henna with an M50 (or might me an M52, can't remember) He's 5-speed swapping it, too. LMK if you want a price on it. Bit of a trek for the car to make, as it's in KC...

Im interested but I dont think I have the funds for that plus the trip. I bet he wants at least $4,500 which is my absolute limit with nothing left over for repairs, registration/smog in CA, or the traveling.
That would be a super fun road trip though.

Lizzy is moving back to WA to be a real track car.

Anyone have a clean white e34 525i m50 wagon with a 5 speed?

ok, glad you enjoyed it. Wish i hadnt sold mine :(

[deutschman]

I had lots of fun with the car, and I know she is just going to get better where she is going. If the new owner puts together a build thread or the like Ill post a link.

Yeah its different when you are there. You get one walk around and one practice run to work things out, and thats plenty. Some people still get lost, but 99% get it right. Not that hard.

[Thizzelle]

when I watch the auto cross videos I can never tell how the fuck anyone knows were to go. Is it different when your there?

[kingston]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooo!!

[deutschman]

No. Im just not using this car as much as I thought I would, and Id like to liberate some money to use in other places like school bills and my Yota SR5 truck.
The e30 just sits in the street 28 days every month and collects dirt. Id rather sell it to some one who will drive the piss out of it.
If it sells for my asking price thats cool, if not Ill keep it and do an engine swap some time next year and maybe convert it back into something more DD friendly. But I would rather do that with a plastic bumper car that already has decent paint.
