speedyg 16 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 1989 BMW E30 325i 4 door 5 speed 2.8 m20 engine (Graeme Clyde built) Full mtech 2 kit Motorsport seats, steering wheel, gearknob 15in basketweave alloys New Bilstein shocks New ATE power groove front discs and green stuff pads all round Full onboard computer Sunroof Towbar Sony Cd Royal metallic blue ABS 179 miles, newer engine, gearbox, suspension etc The car has a few paint chips and a couple of small bubbles on the sunroof, but not bad for a 21 year old car! I have the front mtech II spoiler which is mega stone chipped but not cracked, I will also include another front valance as the current one is a bit bent. A new foglight as one is cracked and I also have an uncracked dashboard which could be negotiated on. The current dash is cracked and a bit rattley. I also have a set of 16 in Hartge alloys which could be sold as part of the package (see photos). I also have a very keen buyer for the mtech 2 kit if you want the car cheaper but with a different bodykit. Price $7000. If no interest on here I will be listing on trademe in a week or so. Genuine enquires only please, no dreamers. Thanks for looking, Gareth Ph. 03 3436743 Cell 021 2314833 no texts please Or pm me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 Firstly. Im not a dreamer. Just to clear that up. Was the car imported from the UK and if so when did it come into New Zealand? You say the dash is rattelly, where is it retelling, has it been pulled apart before? Do all dash lights and pixels including OBC work? Do you know if the body kit is factory fit of retro fit, i.e. does it mount properly, line up, all clips etc? Don’t suppose it has a Limited slip differential? What type of lowering springs is in the car? Any other choice options, Map light Mirror, tweeter pods?? Sorry about the Spanish inquisition. Genuinely interested, currently selling a coupe M325i as it is impractical. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genuinely interested, currently selling a coupe M325i as it is impractical. Cheers. Thanks for the questions Apex (I know you are not a dreamer!) Car is a UK import early 90's from memory, I'll check tonight. Dash is a bit creaky and seems to move around a bit on rough roads. ie gravel corrugations I think one of the previous owners have had it apart or out at some stage. All dash lights work and no blown pixels (touch wood) The bodykit is genunine mtech and was fitted in the UK, I think factory fit. Has all clips etc and fits well. The front spoiler has two broken clips, one on each side. The broken plastic tab is still in the clip on the valance. The front valance is a bit out of shape but I have another one that is straight. The spoiler was on the car when I bought it, it had one small screw holding on each side and then clipped in at the front. (Hope that makes sense) No LSD sorry. The car has bilstein streetline kit in it, but I have gone back to the BMW motorsport rear springs as the streetline rears were too low for my liking. I am happy to put which ever springs you would like in it or include them in sale. Options, no maplight or tweeter pods it has the skibag but not sure this is classed as a choice option! BTW your M325i looks fantastic! If I was keeping the car I would change dash, respray and fit front spoiler and valance, change sunroof (couple of bubbles appearing), fix oil leak around front cam seal and change the rubber guido in driveshaft as there seems to be a bit of slop in the drivetrain. I have tried to track this down while owning the car and have changed diff, gearbox, engine mounts and rear subframe bushes, but there is still some slop in there. Guido looks ok but it is about all that is left to do. Thanks, Gareth Edited May 25, 2010 by speedyg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

APT 179 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 Hey do you have any idea of power output ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedyg 16 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 Hey do you have any idea of power output ? Wouldn't really like to say but, Graeme Clyde reckon he had dynoed one of the 2.8L m20's that he had built and it was around 220bhp. I think it has a different cam too. One E30 mechanic I took it too said it went really well and it was quicker than his 2.7L m20 that he had built. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
