Location: Hood River, OR
Looking to sell my 1989 BMW 325is 5-speed coupe. I purchased this car last year from a member on this forum. Since then, I've done the following:
Purchased, but not installed (comes with the car):
I've put a total of 400 miles on the car since I got it. 200 before tear down and 200 after assembly. I'm just about to change the diff fluid after break-in.
This list of details is a copy/paste from the original ad:
Interior:
• Recaro LS front seats, covered in tan leather to match Natur interior. They are mated to original E30 seat rails for seamless integration.
• E30 M3 rear seat, original Natur leather. No cracks or tears, but is a little faded in spots.
• Tan houndstooth door panels. Vinyl portion re-dyed to match interior.
• OEM E30 M3 gauge cluster with aluminum trim rings and Alpina-style rpm trim. Chip swapped to work with six-cylinder. Oil temperature gauge not connected. Needs new odometer gears.
• Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel with rare center pad. Rare original MOMO horn button with BMW roundel.
• Black pedal set and footrest from BMWpedals.com
• Soft leather e-brake surround. Leather wrapped e-brake handle.
• E36 window switch retrofit
• Cup holders where ashtray once was. Ashtray included in sale.
• Near mint Husco armrest with cup holders.
• Auto-dimming overhead light mod.
• OEM Euro trunk storage tray, which fits on the battery cover. Includes euro warning triangle and case
• OEM Euro trunk lid trim piece.
• Full trunk tool kit with no missing pieces.
• OEM maplight mirror.
Electronics:
• Custom enclosure (“Lukebox”) houses a single JL audio 10W3 V3 subwoofer. The speaker fires through the ski-pass hole behind the rear seat. The custom box is slim in the trunk, and allows access to the spare tire.
• Rockford Fosgate Power 500a2 and Punch 600a4 amplifiers.
• 2-farad capacitor to keep amperage draw even.
• Amps and capacitor are mounted to a carpeted panel in the trunk for a clean look.
• Sound deadening material installed in the trunk and behind the rear seat.
• Alpine CD player
• Factory premium speakers
Exterior:
• OEM EuroBosch “Smiley” Ellipsoid Headlights, retrofitted with 55W 4500K HID lighting and amber city lights.
• Clear turn signals with amber stealth bulbs.
• 3000K HID lighting in fog lights
• OEM Euro “IS” side skirts
• OEM Euro grills
• Genuine MHW smoked tail lights.
• Full shadowline trim treatment.
• Yakima roof rack with cross bars
Wheels & Tires:
• 15x7 OEM Style 10 wheels, centers painted black
• almost new 225/50/15 Toyo Proxes4
Suspension, Brakes & Steering:
• H&R Sport springs
• Bilstein Sport Shocks
• Sparco front strut brace
• Sturdy E46 rear shock mounts
• Power steering removed
• New brake pads and rotors have less than 10k miles. Brakes do not squeak.
Engine, transmission and driveline:
• Strong running M20B25 engine and 5-speed manual transmission.
• 3.73 limited slip differential.
• Recent tune-up included new timing belt, water pump, radiator hoses, fuel filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, ignition coil, distributer cap, and ignition rotor. Coolant Flush. Cleaned and rebuilt fuel injectors.
• Bavauto performance chip
• Cone intake with heat shield and K&N filter
• Magnaflow exhaust and high-flow cat.
• Z3 short shift lever. Rebuilt all shift linkage components at time of install.
Known Issues:
• Paint on front lower valence shows typical chipping
• Inside of rear deck lid has some rust. I believe it could be saved.
• OBC and gauge cluster backlighting works intermittently. Likely a loose wire or SI board issue.
• Gas gauge is all over the place
• AC system works but does not blow cold.
• Transmission fluid leak (I think its the rear output shaft seal?)
• Sunroof motor runs but the sunroof doesn't open (spinning on track?)
• IS side trim needs to be properly attached[/LIST]
I don't know the market, so I'm just going off-of my costs plus a mtech2 kit.
Asking 8200 OBO.
