For Sale: 1989 BMW E30 325I - The Plow

[k-swiss]

Please keep this thread on topic....
Its time for me to pass on stewardship of my 325I. Having a 2002 thats undergoing a major drivetrain transplant and a beetle thats under going major reconstruction I need something thats more of an appliance. Therefore the Plow must go!

Some vital stats
1989 325I
220,ish KM on the body
Cirrusblau Metallic 2dr
Cammed and chip(Metric Mechanics Rallye cam with Heavy duty rocker arms)
Lowered on Ground controlled coilovers
Rolling stock is 16x7 Rota Formels on Falken 452's
Has a 3.73 LSD
Interior has some Momo appointments(Steering wheel and shift knob)
Also has a super comfy set of 80's era Recaros

Some recent big maintanence items...
Clutch and Transmission replaced, Steering rack, Tie rods, Trunk and tail light seals, countless other things I can't remember

Euro goodies, Euro taillight filler, Euro bumper strips, Hole-less center console and rear(Planned for a power window delete). Also have a blank check panel installed.

Also can include a 3 month old Thule Roofrack and Fairing(Bought new...)

Notes:
I bought this car 2 years ago and it has seriously been one of the best cars I have ever owned. Its a great performer on the street and track and I think has some of the best mods that one can do to an e30. I will miss it however I'm in a position that I can't keep another vehicle around that I can't drive during winter.... So it must go....

Pictures will be up after I get it back from the Detailers and once I get a interweb connection that isn't dial up. As for price it is negiotiable. It can be optioned or deoptioned...
Pm or email me at kirinj AT telus.net

Lets start in the ball park of around 7,000 I'm negiotiable.

THE PLOW HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST '30s I HAVE EVER BEEN IN!

I am so sad to see Kirin part with such a fine automobile!

Seriously a bag of fun guys!

It was always one step better than the track car I was building, the coilovers and the Cam.. WOW! What a great setup!

If i was staying in the country I would have bought her faster than a new york minute...

PS. LOVE THOSE SEATS!

Sadly, the price of the car would be a small fraction of the price of the divorce I would get along with it... Still.... So tempting... Post a couple of pictures - perhaps my wife will change her mind when she sees the colour

[E30M20B25]

Oh jesus!!

Somebody really needs to buy this '30 before he changes his mind!

Its a fair deal! Take it

[k-swiss]

Both of these e30's need to go! Shoot me an offer. If any of you find me a buyer I will give you either a finders fee or take you out for a steak dinner.

No interest at all in this old girl? Has everybody just bought e30s or am I missing something?

[craig4ie]

I might be interested in a couple months...

It was your feeler posting on the plow earlier this year (and the way other people talked about it!) that first brought me to this site. It actually convinced me to buy an e30. I would drive up there right now and hand you the cash for this fine vehicle if I thought my US dollars were worth anything. Unless someone wanted to buy my 325es...

I think you should make a trip North.. You can reach me at 250-571-5360.

This car looks mint. If I was in the market for an E30 this would definitely be the one to get.

Very well sorted. Good luck with the sale Kirin.

man, i wish i had the money. I need to sell my car and make a couple thousand more, don't think that's possible, it'll be sold by then. Good luck with the sale.

I've been driving around town looking for the car btw, but still haven't seen it. Looks like maybe rivershore from the pictures? Am i correct? Have you seen that clean e30 318is in town??

[k-swiss]

Okay Guys I'm motivated to sell since I need to pay down the loan on my Rabbit and I have to pick up a 323.
Anyways heres a few options.
7000 gets the complete car with roofrack and its all its goodies
6300 gets the car minus the formels(Bring your own wheels)
5800 gets the car minus the seats and the wheels(I have a line on blue leather sport seats that could replace the Recaros).
Thats as low as I will go. Please do not waste my time by making asisinine offers your just wasting my time and yours.

Hi Kirin,

-Is she Aircared for lower mainland driving requirements...?
-What's the current status on the engine's health...?
-What does it need, or will be needing soon..?


Thanks,
-B.

[k-swiss]

Maybe too Pat:P

Car currently hasn't been aircared since Carter owned. Reason being was that I got a year exemption when we switched regies then I switched all my insurance up to the interior(Cheaper and well hell I live here).

I'd say the engines still very fresh. She makes phenomenal power and runs strong. I've never done a compression test or anything on it, since it "Just works" and the paperwork indicates that its been well maintained and it did have a big whole slew of maintanence. That being said it probably wouldn't hurt to give the old girl a 02 sensor, tune up and good old Valve adjust. I'm probably going to do it myself and get the timingbelt and waterpump done at the same time by the Euroshop..

As for issues. Shes an 89. She isn't perfect but the price I feel reflects the quality of the car and I know of two local e30s that were in similar condition to her that had less suspension and motor work done than her that sold to close to my asking price.

Anything else you guys know where to reach me.
