Top Secret 2 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 For Sale: 1988 E30 325i Engine: M20B25 ~160,000km Engine runs fantastically. One of the best M20B25s I've driven. It takes a few cranks to start it from cold, but after that it starts mint. It has got an oil leak, but I haven't found out where it's coming from yet. No ticking tappets Interior: Leather interior (non recaro). However, a seam has split on the driver's seat. Quoted ~$80 to fix Wof til somewhere in late Feb, Reg is expiring soon. Initially I thought this had a cracked head, as when I drained the cooling system there was oil in there. Then I bought Jamez's 325i, and I've been working on that. However, after flushing it a few times, and draining the water every third day and taking a sample of it, there doesn't seem to be any oil left in there. I drive the car every day, and it's been very reliable. Inspections highly recommended, I'm not a mechanic, so it pays to check it out. There are quite a few small things wrong with it, but you'd need to check it out. Pics in my project thread. Comes on bottlecaps now. Will update pics soon. $1200 ono, take it away.

Gaz 1061 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Just had a look through your project thread, have you got the manual box in yet? I'm quite interested either way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Top Secret 2 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 The manual box is in the other E30, 80% finished, just need to change the center hanger bearing for the driveshaft from the auto box over as the one I got with the conversion is too big. Oh, forgot to mention, it has a sports mode transmission, which is actually quite nice to have. Will be parting another E30 325i soon, watch this space.

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted May 5, 2010 Are rear seats available? are they the style with the arm rest or a solid back? PM me price either way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Top Secret 2 Report post Posted May 5, 2010 It is still available, but the more I drive it the more I think the price is too cheap vs what the car is worth to me, so unless I get any good offers over $1500 it will be staying with me for a while. I've been tidying it up over the last few months. Back seat is the leather skiport version. PM me an offer, I understand these are relatively rare.
