Datkiwi 11 Report post Posted May 27, 2019 Hi Guys, Just brought a M325i and wish to find a few of the BMW e30 performance bibles that people may have lying around and want to get rid of It's fairly tidy and all complete but will be a rolling restoration with the eventual aim to fit a stroker kit but keep it standard looking. Cheers 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datkiwi 11 Report post Posted May 28, 2019 Yeah, Sorry about that. I had asked around on Facebook for a M325i and he replied. I then had to update my everyday car so did't go through with the sale so I was surprised when I got back in touch with him a couple of months later and he still had it. Its going to be a project to restore it slowly as funds (and the wife) allow. I had thought about a S50b30/b32 conversion originally but because the car is too good for that I think I will just get an Ireland engineering stroker kit and massage the head/cam to see if that fits the bill lol. It certainly goes much better than the mk2 escort sport i had ? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a beaut, great score! Question is, are you bringing it to e30 Mega Meet in New Plymouth (this year) 29 November - 1 December? There'll be others from the deep south attending. It's going to be a blast. Welcome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 1925 Report post Posted June 23, 2019 Oh yeah that's my old car. Sold it when I moved to the US. Was a good car. Have fun. I would restore rather than mod. Let me know if you want info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
