Parting out 89 325i

[Tangent]

It's got a broken power steering rack and cracked oil pan, otherwise it's in great shape. The paint on the top surfaces has flaking clearcoat and the passenger rear door is keyed but the body is straight with good paint otherwise. Here's a list of some parts; if you're interested in anything else just ask. It has 218,000 miles on it and everything ran beautifully before it was curbed by the previous owner. It's black with a tan interior. I'll gets any pics that are requested.

Part with price, shipping not included. Shipping from 92543.

No foglights, holding off on selling the plastic bumpers for now...

If it's for sale, how much for just the body?. Do you have any pics?

[Tangent]

I'll get some pics of it on jack stands in my garage...

EDIT: Here they are. The 3rd one shows where it was keyed on the passenger rear door. The flash made it look worse than it does in person...

If you want the body there's one more thing you might want to know about: When it got curbed the crossmember the front suspension and steering rack mounts to were hit as well. The passenger side control arm is sticking about 3/4 of an inch further out the back of the bushing than it should. That's the only reason I decided not to replace the rack and oil pan and drive it myself, I just don't want to deal with the hassle of replacing the crossmember. I even bought a new oil pan before I noticed it...

Oh, I was hoping it was a 2dr. Thanks for responding so quickly though.

Is the front bumper ok? How much would you like?

Oh, and the fog lights if possible.

[Tangent]

I'm holding back the bumpers for now, I might put them on my '88 iS... Fog lights are already gone.

Did you ever sell your tail light? I am interested in the right rear.

Thanks - If available, please e-mail me at koldh20@yahoo.com

What a waste of a decent E30, :/

What's the deal with the exhaust? For sale?
