Andrew 30 Report post Posted May 31, 2007 I'd save up the extra 3 k and buy a 318iS .. with a turbo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2007 I bought my exceedingly mint FL E30 318i manual for $3500, so I'd wait for the engine to die, though that doesn't look like happening for at least another 50,000km, and when it does, with the extra $2500 I'd source an M42 and install it myself. Either that or find a 318iS, they really are just as much fun as an M325i, with a much smaller gas bill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted June 1, 2007 E30 Shell and the rest on a 1JZGTE, Box and Diff and install costs. Then if there is any left a nice interior from the higher specd models. Of course all done myself to keep costs low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surge 1 Report post Posted June 1, 2007 Sorrry I meant my NZ new E36 320i E30 320i's only lead to disapointment.. Just not enough power but the added weight of a 6. E30 318iS rocks, 325i good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m_power 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2007 How much would you pay for a mint f/l 325 manual coupe? around the $4000-$5500 mark i would suspect? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted June 1, 2007 If i had the $6k to spend i think i would go for a E30 Face Lift two door 325I motorsport, then proceed to spend the rest (or save up to spend ) money on making it totally mint, I think cars that are origional might become collectors items someday especailly with a number of examples becoming race cars or geting rusty or getting pranged up. however i don't think $6k would go real far for a 325 motorsport, but it would be the next best thing to owning a totally mint E30 M3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted June 5, 2007 325's arent really fast....6k would be nowhere near a motorsport with prices as they are...an e30 m3 wont get much cheaper than 20 i imagine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
