    FS: 1987 325iS - Great cond/Lots of goodies

    PICTURES UPDATED

    Never thought I'd find myself selling this car ever, but life has presented a few opportunities in which I cannot turn down. That being said, I hope to be back in some old school euro goodness sooner than later! My parents decided it was time for a new car and bought a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit edition and were looking to get rid of their Mazda 6 wagon. They asked me if anyone I knew was interested, and after obtaining their asking price I said I was. Little did they know it was about $2.5-3k below KBB value, thus why I sprung at the offer :) Anywho, enough about me, lets get on to this beautiful car!!


    I purchased the car a little bit over a year ago from a BMW enthusiasts. He said he had owned this one for about 4 years as he slowly built it up, and had been in/around e30's since he got his license. He also owned a rad, alpine e34 wagon!

    Alpine white '87 325iS:

    Body
    -New front windshield 2,400 miles ago (via WestWerks)
    -Euro Smilies w/ NEW 6000k bulbs (One side needs both lenses re-sealed on, in great shape otherwise. One small crack sealed in high beam lense)
    -Euro Grill
    -Euro bumper trim
    -MHW smoked turn signals
    -Fully refurbished fog lights w/ yellow lamin-x (one fog doesn't work, I think I wired it incorrectly? I'm no good with wiring)
    -iS front lip w/ RyanG splitter (splitter is cracked on a corner, but still fully intact)
    -Early model plastic bumper conversion
    -iS sideskirts
    -Shadowlined
    -ACS rear skirt(?)
    -Mtech 1 wing
    -Euro plate filler
    -Front strut bar
    -245,xxx on chassis

    -Overall rating: 8.5-9/10


    Interior
    -Mtech 1 wheel
    -Heated sport seats seats
    -Rear headrest conversion
    -Premium speakers
    -Sony head unit
    -Euro Check Panel
    -Weighted M shift knob (loose)
    -BMW Motorsport mats
    -Euro "kmH" mpg cluster (though it seems to read backwards?)
    -Power windows, mirrors, sunroof
    -Rear pop-out windows

    -Overall rating: 8.5/10


    Engine
    -Turner or MarkD chip (can't recall which he said it was)
    -Around 145,000 on swap
    -Ported polished heads
    -K&N intake

    -All done 2,400 miles ago by WestWerks
    -Rebuild oil filter housing thermostat
    -Replace water pump, timing belt, drive belts, etc.
    -Replace spark plugs, wires, dist. cap, and rotor
    -Replace valve cover gasket, check clearance


    -Needs new oil pan (previous owner installed a one-way bolt into the drain plug hole :()
    -Very slow oil leak (WW said to just check on oil level often until a new oil pan is installed and that should solve the leak)

    -Overall rating: 8.5/10


    Wheels/Suspenion
    -16x7 BBS reps (looks like ESM, previous owner installed BBS caps)
    -H&R/Bilstein (not sure which exactly, could use a refurbishing. getting soft and bouncy)
    -Passenger side rear tire is practically new, other 3 are still decent tread

    -Overall rating: 8/10


    Onto all the pictures now. As you can see, I only cleaned the front end, drivers side, and back end. I can assure you the passenger side is in identical condition, however I was limited by daylight and freezing temperatures.
























    I'm looking to get right in the neighborhood of $6,500 for the car. The price may seem steep, but there just aren't many enthusiast owned, clean e30's left out there and certainly even less for sale. This car is practically fresh from a solid tune-up and ready to go another 100,000 miles.

    Questions or comments? Please feel free to PM me anything!

    These gotta be some of the crappiest phone-photos ever taken of an $8k car, but I understand the black on white makes it harder to get good WB.

    GLWS. Sounds like a good car from the build sheet.

      Thanks. I'm going to get some better photos tomorrow hopefully with my friends camera after I clean her up. Unfortunately all I have is my galaxy s2 :(

                      I'm going off what I've seen locally for sale recently. I haven't been able to find a whole lot. I found plenty in the 4-6k range, but none as clean and thorough as mine. If you can find cars of comparable condition, please send them my way, I would love to see what they are listed for.

                      This is a clean and unmolested 325iS with, in my opinion, a lot of proper e30 aftermarket parts (not to mention highly important maintenance performed less than 3k miles ago). Sure, you can find swapped e30's for 8k but not everyone wants a swapped e30. There is a very short list of things wrong with this car, which isn't easy to say with a car that's 26 years old.

                      I hope I don't come off wrong, I'm just simply explaining why I have it priced at $8k. Will I get that for it? Only time will tell. I'm in no rush to sell though. As each month passes I will gauge the interest at the current price and adjust accordingly.

                        The previous owner installed a 1 way bolt into the oil pan. Leaks oil / needs new oil pan. So you've owned this car a year now, how have you gone about doing the oil change?

                          I took it into West Werks after not being able to get the oil drain bolt out myself. They said it's nothing major, but needs to be solved (i.e. a whole new oil pan) sooner than later. The previous owner said he had just done an oil change right before I bought it and thankfully I haven't put many miles on the car since owning it. I did change the filter and used a pump to manually remove some of the oil a few months back.
