Feeler: 1992 325i

[downeaster1]

I've been bit by the E30 M3 bug so that's my next project.
It's sad to see her go, but she really needs to go to a nice place.

I have a 1992 325i up for sale. The car has 602,918 miles on the car. Now, before you say "&*#(^$! Thats a crap load..." Yes, yes it is. However, The car has been held to a strict maintenance schudule ever since the car left the plant on the 31st of January 1992. The vehicle was owned by a business firm prior to me owning it (who used it for frquent trips between New Hampshire and Florida), making me the second owner. I aquired the car with a warped head on the motor, thus swapping in and devanosing an S50B30. With an adaptor plate, the motor was bolted upto the existing (and origional) automatic transmission.
The transmission does not slip in the slightest, and the transmission fluid is changed once ever two thousand miles.
I should note that the car was hit on the rear passengers side a few years ago, but has been replaced with OEM DOT-R parts, by a local autobody who has a contract with Ira BMW of Stratham, NH.
The car was custom tuned down at Turner's shop in mass for the programming to run the newly frankenstined engine. Dyno printout sheets available upon request.
The car just went through a major suspension overhual, two weeks ago. All rubber bits, trailing arms, control arms were all replaced as well as Bilstein Sport's and BavAuto Preformance Springs all around.

The only problem currently is one of the rear door panels are bubbleing

Pics:

















I forgot to mention, when the car was in it's little acident, I had the whole car repainted the origional color (as seen in the first two pics).

I'm not sure what to ask for so I'll say $750. If anyone thinks I might be able to get more, feel free to say so

I would be more detailed about the info, but I'm at work. Will update with more info soon.

602K MILES!?!?!?!?
Holy crap that is amazing!
Even with the mileage, the price is dang good.

If you were closer I would buy this today.

[downeaster1]

I've totaled up all the receipts a short time ago, and I've spent close to $30,000 on it. I know that doesn't affect the selling price at all, but if I can't get a decent ammount for it, I may just not let it go. Hence being a feeler. I really have babied the car for the time that I've owned it and have become attached to it. But who knows. Theres a buyer for everything these days

EDIT: Also considering trades for E30 Coupes.

Shit if you were willing to bring it to CT I would gladly pay that.

I'm on Active Duty Navy in VA while the car is mothballed in storage back in New Hampshire. I posted one a long time ago when it was around 599k. I'll look for it.

I was bit by the E30 M3 bug once...and the symptoms are returning once again. Or an E38. Or an E39. Or a 2002tii.
Basically I want to get away from the E36's for just a little while.

[McCall]

That is one great deal IMHO. If it were me I'd ask a bit more. At least the value of the engine by itself. Good Luck!

[Ollie1662]

lol Is it even worth selling? What's 750 bucks gonna do towards an e30 M3? Plus you're know as the guy with the 600k miled e36.

On another note, I'd probably buy it if you were close.

[downeaster1]

Sold

[blackmaxx96]

Already!?!?!?!
Man, you should've asked more or kept it.
Congrats?

[Mossman11]

Damn man I woulda paid twice as much and been happy and kept her nice for ya. That's pretty nuts, I'm most impressed by the slushbox holding up this long. You rule. Hey man, forget the 15k rule for e30 m3's buy a 25,000 dollar one, drive it for 2.5 million miles and it'll practically be paying you in the end haha
