M3_guy 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 Hi i've been looking for my 1st E30 and preferably E30 M325i or a 325i Touring but Is 402,000km on one too high km or is it okay, long as it had good service i guess. What goes wrong common on these things at that kind of milege and age 1986-1989 Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2069 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 My 325 at 300,000kms has a worn camshaft. Usually they require a rebuild around this stage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nath 134 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 I'm full of admiration for a car that in 400,000km has only failed its warrant once, 100,000km ago! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tire 10 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 If its genuine i'd pay 6 if its a bit rough, up to 8 if its tidy, rust free and has some service history. You would be wanting it to have had an engine rebuild at some stage, 400,000 is a lot even for an m20. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|ncary 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) Has the 14inch wheels, not a fan at all, the 15's make a huge difference to the looks I feel personally... Still, looks very nice! That front end has definitely been repainted at some stage ha. *actually dont quote me on the 14's. that shot from the front right looks like them, but another shot looks like the 15's. Might just have a monster profile on the tires... Edited May 19, 2009 by Incary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIR E30 68 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 Thats a nice car, as long as everything looks fine when you check it out you should go for it! If you can hold out and find a touring for sale you should wait, they are well worth the effort of waiting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you recon the Touring is better to get if there was a choice between this one and a touring? Hmmmm...... I know there is one for sale... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 Saw this pop up on trade me yesterday. Starting price is good........wonder what the reserve is? If the engine is poo's wouldnt you just drop a new one in? Hope someone from here snaps it up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIR E30 68 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 IMO the touring is better! But that is entirely up to what you want the car for, and I am biased . I dont know of any for sale either unfortunately. You could see if rays one is still for sale? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 Rays is for sale yeah. Buy it. Its naaiiiis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIR E30 68 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 [borat]Its naaiiiis[/borat] It would be worth lookin into, if you are prepared to shell out the extra cash for a touring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 Hes not asking an arm and a leg. You'd be surprised. And seeing the condition he keeps his vehicles in. I'd say its top notch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
