Other than the wheels and exhaust tips it looks just like the '87 that I had.

really? did you convert the car from the metal bumpers to plastic ones? thats alot of work to retrofit those bad boys from what i hear.

Looks awesome. I'm currently in the market for a M52/S52 swapped E30 myself...

Buy mine. I'm local in the valley. I have a red 1989 325i sedan 5-speed on ground control coilovers. Rebuilt (new) cooling system, new timing belt and seals. Ice cold a/c. no leaks. Everything works. The mileage reads 187k but as you know the odometers start failing. I bought it from my friend who has his own mechanic shop. So it is maintained. New tires and brakes. needs nothing. The drivers seat is torn so you'll have to find another one (if you mind how the seat looks) The car is rock-solid reliable and fun to drive. The car is high mileage so theres noises and squeaks here and there but it drives just fine and has good power (easy to break traction at launch and on the 1-2shift) It has the stock projector headlights (only 89s have these)

Hellrot on beige interior. Stock chrome (dirty/stained) bottle caps.

Since I just got it i'm waiting for my title from DMV so i can't officially sell it just yet. but posting this to gauge interest. I bought it so I don't have to daily drive my "nice' BMW but I'm starting to see that having two cars is kind of a waste for me personally. I drive my nicer one (E46) all the time now.

PM if interested! $3,000 OBO for a turn the key and drive car. I honestly don't see it needing anything for a long-long time.

yeah I'm looking to pick up another one as a winter beater/daily driver, either a 325is or 325ix if I can come across one.
