IMO Prefacelift M325i is less desireable. Even if it is rarer. A prefacelift shell is more prone to rust, and this one looking pretty neglected and having likely sat outside for some time is probably hiding some rust in the firewall and boot. I also notice the facelift headlights, wiring has been hacked to wire them up. If it was with its original bumpers, weaves and houdstooth interior but in this rough state, I could *maybe* see someone forking out near the $30k and spending $5 to $10k restoring it. As it stands you'd be sourcing Mtech1 kit (weitz had a kit 4k recently), chrome bumpers, weaves (2k plus), complete engine overhaul and likely suspension and everything else needing attention you be in the $15 to $20k territory getting it back to an original state, that's not even including finding houndstooth interior.

That kit wouldn't be the original it came with, being PreFL it would have Tech1 (like the skirts / spoiler). The rear bumper is either modified or a fiberglass rep to fit PreFL rear arches (Tech2 bumper is longer).

I bought a diamantschwarz m325i as a parts car about 10 years ago. Interior was in parts, body had a fair amount of rust. Probably would have been worth saving in hindsight considering the condition of e30s these days 😆

What's gone into the engine build? And what power are you expecting out of it?

Only if they have the 6 pin connector. I believe from 03+ had the 6 pin O2 sensors. If you have the round 4 pin plugs they won't work. That's the mistake I made when I bought them..

Bump, still got these..

Croc powered e90

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/316i/listing/4133959690 Am I the only one who thinks these people are dreaming when they turbo their E30, expecting M325i money. I'd be surprised if it would fetch more than $20k. That exhaust hanging out the back like that is killing my OCD.

It's a facelift tank. 150 takes it bare, 200 including both senders and pump.

I have one rust free inside and out, but it does have dents.

Cheap, I sold a couple of these for over $350 each not long ago.

OEM Cam lock and pins for the S54B32 motor. $120 I've got the anti rattle kit tool too for the cam lying around somewhere too I can throw in for extra if interested. I'll dig it out and add a photo+price tomorrow.

Have not seen your E30 in a long time. Looking very sharp, you've done a great job on it.

Anyone have a 2.91 or 3.15 ring and pinion set lying around? PM me.

Yes it should bolt up to the E87 as the bumper mounting points are the same from what I understand.

Curt 1.25" Hitch bar with Tow ball attachment. Made for the BMW E82 chassis. Bolts up where the rear bumper mounts (Bolts over the top, easily done with removing the rear diffuser only and bumper stays on). Only the hitch part is visible once mounted. I used this on my 135i, for carrying a rear bike rack. Rated at 900kg towing capacity. $200

Ended up taking them off and dismantling, cleaning with the contact spray and they work perfectly fine now. So yeah it was a straight forward fix in the end

Anyone have experience with DCT paddles not working correctly? My downshift does not work at all, upshift does sometimes intermittently does not. Tried doing a search but can't really find much information on my specific problem. DCT shifter works fine, no issues. Paddles only. If I remove them, or replace, are automatic paddles the same to replace them if they're stuffed?
