    Pics of my *hopefully* next car... BMW

    Well, here it is. It's a 1991 325i. 5 speed manual, 4 doors. I absolutely love the oldschool look. But it has a fully built head, cammed, new bearings in the bottom end. H&R springs on Tokico Gas shocks, chrome rims. New clutch, flywheel, driveshaft and yoke, rebuilt transmission, and everything came straight from BMW, or other respected german parts manufacturers to my understanding. He took me for a ride in it, and man, what a fun little car. Easy to get sideways, but easy to control.

    Problems: Rear bumper cover needs replaced (I can get one for $50), tail light has a chip in it (ebay, next to nothing), missing chrome trim on passenger side (ebay, next to nothing). Right rear window won't go down (short somewhere, I should be able to fix that myself), and the left rear shock is blown, but he has another and will replace it before I buy it.

    Obviously, it's not perfect. He wants $3,500 for it. I've seen receipts that document over $6000 in engine work and parts. But for some reason I'm in love with it.

      Honestly, my back is A OK 95% of the time. And it doesn't ride any harsher than my trucks prehistoric suspension, so I should be alright. You don't like those rims??!?!?! I LOVE THEM!! haha.

      Yeah, I don't mind giving it some attention, because for that money, you won't find better around here. Plus I will have another car now so I can keep racing. I already payed my club dues, I'd hate for that to have been a waste!

                  HATERS!!

                  I just love the rims on it. I think they are fantastic.

                  Forgot to mention it is chipped as well.

                      Low enough, lol. I don't want to change a thing, just get the body back to oem specs, then the BMW stripes on the fender, and a BMW shift boot. I love it how it is.

                        Forgot to mention, I'm only paying $3,500 for it. It's got twice that in engine work alone.

                          Was it repainted at sometime?
                          The front bumper isn't sitting flush?
                          Accidents?

                          I actually have all the parts you need, Tail lights, bumper trim etc. =D
                          I could let them go for cheap, as I don't need them.


                          Other than that, looks decent. 3500 is a quite a bit of moolah, can probably find a decent e36 for that?

                          I'd offer 2700 and move from there if possible

                          Goodluck, hope it's everything you want. My e30 was definitely one of the funnest cars I had.

                            I like the rims

                            they remind me of the older M3 wheels.

                            How many miles are on it?
