FS: 1989 M325i

[Jamez 2147483647]

Up for sale is a genuine New Zealand new (not that it makes much difference)

1989 M325i, it goes great and comes with lots of extras.

The specs;

-Shell has 290,000km so if you only care about k's stop reading now and piss off .

-Reconditioned 120,000km engine put in 20,000km ago

-Clutch and timing belt were replaced at the same time

-Performace EAT chip added (gives it a bit more kick down low, also revs to 7000rpm)

-Perforamce Headers added

-Cats replaced with straight flow resinators

-New front and rear PFC Endurance 06 compound race pads ($500 worth)

-Near new front bushes (previous owner replaced all the bushes)

-Bilstien sport front shocks and adjustible koni rear shocks

-M325i rear springs and random red ones in the front

-Black Headlining

-Tweeter pods

-Mtech 2 kit

-Manual

-Map lights in rear view mirror

-3.73 LSD

-Crack free dash

-Not mint but pretty decent Cloth interior

-High end fluids (clutch,brakes and engine) for track duties.

-Urathane Engine mounts

-Recently repainted Bonnet, front valence and rear bumper (Stone chips ftl)

Pretty decent on fuel but that fully depends on driving style;

-Gets about 350-450km town driving.

-Gets about 450-600km Motorway driving.

Has a tow bar - no idea why the dealer fitted this, but it tows pretty well,

I managed to get 450km from a tank towing another e30.

Has a rusty sunroof cage, and the sunroof has been glued shut by a previous owner

but the roof itself has no rust.

Has a few minor scratches on the side that show on sunny days.

Due to the maintence from previous owners this car drives really well,

I have taken it to a few track days, will do a 1:22.4 (could probably do a 1:21 with the right driver)

on a dry day at Hampton Downs.

In Summary, it's a great car to drive, is half decent on the fuel and isn't

so mint that you're scared of damaging it every time you take it out drive. It also

kicks ass on the track.

Have a few different wheels that can come with the car depending on price.

1. 16x7 BBS RS003's on new street tires (pics 1/2/3)

2. 15x7 BBS Basket Weaves on average road tires. (pic 5)

3. 15x7 BBS RS001's on average dunlop semi slicks (pic 6)

4. 15x7/8 BBS RS033's on average road tires (set is staggerd) (pic 7)

5. 14x6 BMW bottle caps with bald tires.(bloody ugly so no need for pics)

Price $7999

It's a very nice car

What are you upgrading to?

Is April keeping the cab?

[Jamez 2147483647]

the upgrade is top secret at this stage, I can say it will have 5x120 wheels and an ///M badge

Aprils cab will be up for sale next week, followed by the 318 daily the week after.

edit - and to the people pm'ing me asking for the RS's, I will sell them separately after this and the cab have sold, until then its a firm no.

You've got the Blue E34 M5?

[Jamez 2147483647]

Please keep guessing

E: lol

Edited September 2, 2010 by Simon*

[Guest Simon*]

So it's an M3

Either E30 or E36

[gouba 0]

i'll pay good cash for those 16s

Good luck with the sale btw

[Jamez 2147483647]

Now on Tradme, $8999 with the basketweaves, bloody good deal considering the money that has gone into this thing in recent time.

Also at $11500 with the 16" BBS RS's, or $10500 with the semi slicks.

[Jamez 2147483647]

Bimmersport only price, $7999.99 firm with the basketweaves, you don't get much better buying than that and thats the lowest it will be going.

could probably do a 1:21 with the right driver

Who, the f**king stig?

Seriously tempted James, I miss mine so much and this car is in great mechanical condition, most are just shiny and a loose cannon underneath.

I get paid on the 10th so if it’s still around we may have to catch up for a beer.

[Jamez 2147483647]

I'm just a noobie on the track, I just drive round like its a sunday drive

So true about what lies underneath, this car has driven the best out of all 10 e30's i've owned to date, worst e30 was surprisingly the lowest k one with 130k, it was like boat with wheels and the best lap time was a 1:30 at HD (thats 8 seconds in handling difference)

I can also give you a good price on some trackday wheels if your that way inclined.

Edited September 6, 2010 by Jamez

[Apex 693]

And It’s what lies underneath that’s expensive to replace!

So it’s coming with the factory 15†BBS cross spokes then?

Also, I installed a hidden camera in your car before you took me on that “Sunday drive†hot lap.

[39KiwiTouring 2]

Convinced this car will appreciate in value over time.

[Jamez 2147483647]

Yeah the factory cross spokes even come as a set of 5 with the spare in the boot, but for anyone buying the car they will get the option on buying the RS's at heavily discounted prices.

Also have a heap of parts that will come with a car for free(if the buyer wants), cast iron headers, stock brake pads, stock rear shocks, rear lowering springs, disassembled M20B25.......list goes on.

[E30 325i Rag-Top 2956]

Damn you and your timing James!

MUST...... NOT.... BUY.... ANOTHER..... E30.....

[Jamez 2147483647]

Bump, cheapest Tech2 M325i around at 8k, most probably the fastest as well.

[Michael. 2313]

I am not much of an E30 fan, but that is a fantastic looking example.

Credit to your car care!

[Grant 4]

This has got to be the buy of the year!

[Apex 693]

Bump. Did this sell?

[Jamez 2147483647]

Still for sale, market must be dead as I haven't had anyone come to look at it

Not to worried, its still a joy to drive

[Jamez 2147483647]

Provisionally Sold.....Pending payment and also its not anyone from bimmersport

[antil33t 90]

as long as their hat peak isn't flat

[Jamez 2147483647]

back up for sale, buyer did not understand when buying the cheapest example of a M325i made ~21 years ago with 300000 on the clock that its not going to be "Mint"

Not to concerned about selling anyway, always puts a smile on my face when I take it for a drive
