    My $900 daily bronzit.

    Bought this a few nights ago for a DD. $900 for an 1988 325is with an automatic that was going out. I've had no problems with the shifting yet so I will probably just drive it until it blows then swap to 5 spd.
    Here is the car as I bought it, Filthy in every sense of the word, but, I do own a detailing business so I'm not to scared.

    Dirty first pics:








    Then I have to deal with this shit at night, No tach, no lights for speedo, and the PO said if the gas gauge is at 1/4 tank Im going to run out of gas.


    Perfect car to have alittle fun with :D

      Not really right now, no. maybe some nicer wheels and a kit of some sort in the future. I just really needed a daily now that my 240Z is for sale. So ill probably be happy with a really clean car.

                      no, it still looks like a $300 car to me - but w/e, it'll be cool to see how it cleans up. :)

                          eh, just buy whatever comes around and go from there, plus its a full sport package with a 4.10LSD..its worth the price.

                            Where do you go to do 5spd manual swap?

                            How much too. I'm in SoCal.
