Yup saw that, thought about pulling mine from the race car and giving it a clean.

I'm thinking the same.  I have a Med 4.1 LSD built by Kayne.

In other news - medium case 3.64 LSD: $2300.

Sold my 3 clutch 3.73 LSD for $800 back in the day. Wouldn't surprise me if its twice that price for an open diff. Seen people trying to sell small case auto ratio LSD's for $1500.

Blew his load on the engine

Racecar MT2 M52 anyone? Go to 3.2 and it would decimate all at Race Wars.

2 white tourings in one day 👀 Pricing on the 318 might be a tad optimistic. Both look juicy tho.

1989 325i Touring

1988 318i Touring

For $35k, I’d want my silver car to be silver, the gear knob to be put on properly and the model badge on the right side. For starters.

This one for me please.

Its a very nice car, no doubt, but the reupholstery on the 318i Touring makes me very hapy I stumped for all original BMW fabric for my retrim - looks like spotlight or corolla fabric.

Yeah it looks like a poor reproduction, or just a "close enough" match. The actual retrim itself looks decent though. 

I'm curious if he's had the entire car resprayed, or close door and if the door jams are still silver / engine bay too. Hard to tell without any photos, looks like the tailgate inner is silver still. 

Also wonder who his mechanic is with this nonsense "My mechanic says it’s a newer engine than what the mileage suggests, and in his opinion about 150-200k) and must have got swapped out prior to me owning it."

Actually comes up on MDecoder as alpine white and on Carjam. Maybe it's a TM glitch with silver?

[e30ftw 395]

Must be, I thought it just reads the info from the registration but carjam says White also. Weird.

[Vass 703]

Some dodgy sh*t going on with that 318i Touring. Listing claims 347k km's on the clock. The same car was being sold in '21 at 469k km. A quick carjam shows it hit that mileage in 2019 when the odo broke since it's stayed the same since. Must have passed half a million by now. I'd be wearing that as a badge of honour instead of half-arsedly trying to conceal it.

Not sure if this has been posted, but a twin cam 5 stud E30 for $10K... What's the catch?!

Doesn’t look bad at all. Chuck some decent wheels, a spare boot lip and mtech wheel and it’s fun for not much money.
