I have owned this 1988 325 2.7L since August 2010. It was/is my first car. I got it for $2950 out the door. It had 88,251 documented (backed by carfax) orifinal miles. First thing to do was have a shop replace the timing belt, tensioner, water pump, ect.
When I got the car it didn't have the front lip or euro plate. It was bone stock and still had original bulbs, spark plugs, spark plug wires, ect. It sat for a few years after one of the PO's wrecked it, as far as I can tell the valance needed replaced (bent) and the fender got some shitty repair work done to it. Before I got it the dme went out in 2007 and a local BMW shop went through the entire electrical system and replaced the dme with a used one. They also did a shitty buff and detail on it, although they did a great job in the engine bay.

I got a set of Miro STP-1 16x7.5 up front and 16x9 rear rims and had those for a while until I couldn't find tires that would fit the rear. So I sold the rims and got MRR FF3 16x8 all around. I also polished the front bumper. Also installed euro grilles, smoked euro smileys and painted the headlight rings silver and a Ryan G splitter.
