    1989 Bronzit 325i 2 Door 5spd Greenville, SC

    This ad is for my Bronzit 1989 325i 5spd Manual with 281,xxx miles on the clock. I have owned the car for the past 9+ years (120k miles) and as the family grows I’m seeing fewer and fewer opportunities to drive the e30 without major inconvenience. For this reason I’m looking to sell the car…and nearly all of the spares I’ve been collecting for the past 9 years (link to parts ad below).

    I purchased the car originally from Treehouse Racing a few years before they seemed to disappear. I reversed many of the aftermarket parts to genuine OEM, except where I saw fit to do otherwise. Additionally I purchased several aftermarket parts myself in an effort to make this car the best OEM+ car possible.

    Parts installed on the car now:
    • Massive Brakes Front Sport Kit
    • 15” Euroweaves 15x7” et25 (3 of the 4 are perfect, 1 could use re-painting but otherwise they are all quite good condition)
    • ECS stainless brake lines
    • BavRest AFM (done in 2016)
    • 3.73 LSD from a 325is
    • Mtech1 steering wheel
    • New Dash is nearly perfect – one small crack (pictured)
    • E46 m3 seats (seam on drivers side could use slight repair)
    • Custom hitch (hidden behind bumper with the receiver removable)
    • E46 m3 steering rack
    • Ground Control Touring camber/caster mounts
    • Bilstein Touring Dampers (I went through Bilstein Sports, Koni Yellow Sports, Sachs OE before I found dampers matched to the ride quality I was looking for)
    • E30 m3 springs (front and rear)
    • E30 m3 front sway bar mount (on strut)
    • E30 20mm front sway bar
    • H&R 18mm rear sway bar
    • Ground Control rear shock mounts
    • Condor/Treehouse eyeball arms
    • Parallel flow condenser
    • SPAL 16” Pusher Fan
    • mZ3 Radiator
    • Sanden A/C Compressor
    • BavRest SI Board (done 2017)
    • Euro Grills
    • Euro Front Plate
    • Mono Wiper Conversion
    • 19lb Injectors (for previous planned m20 mods – I have the factory set if you want them)
    • 25mm Master Cylinder 750iL
    • Euro e36 m3 shifter
    • Suede Shift Boot
    • E36 Window Switches
    • 3M Tint 27%
    • New Front Strut housings/knuckle (installed 2012)
    • Headunit with aux input (forgetting the brand right now)



    Recent maintenance performed (listed miles since service in parentheses):
    • Lemforder Control Arms (left and right)
    • All bushings Lemforder (60k miles since replaced – diff mount, subframe mounts, trailing arm bushings, sway bar bushings front, sway bar links F+R)
    • Coolant hoses (80k)
    • Fuel lines (10k replaced every piece of fuel hose including above tank)
    • Water pump (15k)
    • Timing belt (15k)
    • Spark plugs (20k)
    • Head (120k – refreshed all seals, valves/springs/cam cleaned and matched)
    • Accelerator pedal bushings
    • Accelerator cable
    • Differential output seals (60k)
    • Engine mounts and trans mounts (80k)
    • Exhaust Hangers all new
    • Windsheild (50k)


    I’ve treated this car pretty well over the years and the last item on my agenda was to re-spray which I never got to. The paint is ok considering the age (drivers side rear quarter and trunk are seeing some fade of the clear) – but I was out for perfection.

    In addition the passenger low beam has a crack in the lens – no water intrusion yet – but I have a replacement high and low beam housing that will go with the car. I also have a replacement set of wiper trim pieces and other misc parts that could go with the car…

    Most interesting of the parts I have for sale, a set of new front rotors specifically for the sport kit using an aluminum bell hat and replaceable wildwood heavy duty rotors, HPS hawk brake pads, Pirelli Trofeo R 225/50R15 tires (same tire as Mclaren P1). See link below…

    LINK to PARTS AD:



    Car is located in Greenville, SC.

    I'm not looking for big money, just that the car goes to someone who will enjoy it the way I have. Even now every chance I get to drive the car leaves me grinning.

    Asking price: $3500

    man what a great deal and a very clean car. GLWS. I've always wanted a bronzit to color change into a variation of bronzit (mineral silver metallic).

      btw what front valence is that? I've never seen one that had a fog/brake duct delete.

        Valance is an OEM valance with the duct's/fog's deleted by my paint/body guy. I always thought the car looked a little busy with the duct/fog combo and the delete inserts don't help clean it up very much.

        My goal was to appear more like the e46 CSL front end with simply headlights/signals - minus a hole for intake :)
