Chassis is an 88 325 but it has an M42
motor.
Clear title, no funny business here

Over 200k on the chassis, 80k on the motor.
Green/grey rattle can paint job over black sport interior

Starts ever time, runs great

Aftermarket/goodies:
Eibach springs
Bilstein sport shocks
Z3 shift arm
E36 steering rack
Jim C chip
M20 single mass flywheel
Coil on plug conversion
3.73 limited slip diff
Comes with almost new snow tires (General Altimax Artic) and mismatched all seasons

Bad:
Rust, and lots of it
Gas tank leaks
Exhaust leaks

Please email me any questions. I am not interested in trades.

I was wondering about this thing as well... Is it actually a 318 model or does it just have the m42 inside an 88 e30?

If it's an '88 it's a transplanted M42.

Deansweet will probably buy it.:D

I hear you with that...I'm very tempted by a '77 530i over here.  The bad?  Automatic, thermal reactors and the inevitable cracked head.  The good?  77k miles and it's a really pretty shade of green.
