    FS: 1987 325iS

    1987 325iS
    Alpine White on Cardinal Red leather
    196xxx miles (working odometer)
    new rear wheel bearings (done 2 weeks ago)
    A/C and heat work
    Sunroof/driver window work, passenger has a bad motor (new one included)
    Crack free dash
    Timing belt changed 20k miles ago
    Water pump and all hoses included
    ASA Rims, new tires

    Problem:
    There's only one big problem, front passenger frame rail is bent. I took it to TruLine in Bellevue and they did a full assessment on the car. It is daily driveable if you get camber plates and do a good job aligning it. I want to do autocrossing/track days so the car won't work for me. I have all the alignment data from them and they're fine talking on the phone with anyone about the damage. The car has a CLEAN title.

    I'll include a new front passenger fender. The one in the pics was originally black, painted over white. The paint is flaking so it looks like there is a hole in it. New window motor is included as well.

    Other than the driver's seat the interior is in great shape. No tears anywhere on the back/passenger seats.

    New exhaust tips are needed. The rear valence hasn't been cut up or anything, the exhaust has just blackened it. The soot washes off.

    Price: $2000 obo
    I realize this may seem a bit high given the frame damage but if you just want a daily then the damage wouldn't affect the driveability at all. PM me with offers

      To bend the frame back into shape it would be around 3 grand if you had TruLine do it. I didn't bother getting quotes from other shops. I'm sure it could be done for less but I'm of the opinion that if you're fixing it you shouldn't half ass it.

      It's a daily driver, nothing more.

        Wish I had the cash. This would make a perfect daily driver while my sedan gets some love.

        GLWS!

          Guys, Ive seen this car in person. Its in really good condition overall, and is definitely worth what he is asking. I also talked to Truline about it. Only reason I dont own this car now, is that Ive grown kinda attached to mine to let it go. Even with the damage it drove pretty straight. Good luck with the sale Alec

                Thanks guys! To echo what 2man said, it does drive straight. If you let go of the wheel it doesn't pull to one side. Above 35 miles an hour the wheel shakes but other than that it's fine. An alignment would take care of that. The car is super clean inside and out, it's just the fucking frame. It kills me to have to sell it so soon after buying it but that's life

                    Haury's Lake City in Seattle can straighten these at a pretty reasonable price. They have straightened the frame rails on my PRO3 car when it once went into a tire wall. Usually it involves removing the motor. They use their Cellete rack and get it dead on straight.
