So ive been working with E30s for the past couple years.. Been building up my 1986 325e, secretly ive wanted to get rid of it and get either an E36 M3 or a 1991 318is, some how i found someone who wanted to trade his broken 318is for my running 325e. Here is a link to both of my cars on cardomain.

http://www.cardomain.com/id/ItotheAtotheN

Upgrades Coming Soon
1. Poly Bushings that i never installed in the 325e's subframe and rear trailing arms
2. Drilled Brembo's with some HAWK HPS pads, Not sure what SS brakelines (rebuild all 4 calipers when i do this job)
3. Bilsteins Sports AGAIN
4. H&R Sports Springs AGAIN
5. Dinan Exhaust
6. Ireland Engineering Sway Bars

Update: This is what it looked like when I found it on the side of the road broken down with a busted driveshaft. The new driveshaft was a good feeling putting that in this car. Got one with reservicable U-Joint. I had issues with my driveshaft in the 325e so i felt that getting a new one with a warranty would be a great idea. Next couple pay days ill probably be sanding off the crappy paint on the wheels and putting the Brembo's on, poor little car has the most warn disc's ive ever seen. About 20% disc remaining.... I don't know how it still stops

i like the angel eyes.. as for him getting screwed over.. he didnt really get screwed in the short run. he wanted a running car and thats what i gave him. The car costed me about 1500 in repairs to get it to driving condition.. so in the end i got screwed... looked like a 4x4? haha lowered 1.5 inches on some ugly 17x7s i got for like $250

ok i exaggerated when i said totaled. i smashed the bumper and valance and i wondered if anyone would notice that isn't a 1986 front end.

My M42 had the Guibo fail and the driveshaft came loose and bounced around. Must have been pretty dang loud and i bet the guy i got it from probably never wanted to get in the car again. The driveshaft hit so hard it bent it and snapped the shift linkage. The guy i bought the car from did not know anything about cars or bmw's for that matter. He was unemployed and did not spend a dime on it and just drove the shit out of it. IMHO i saved this poor lil M42 from complete destruction. He had 2 extra quarts of oil in the engine that was the final straw that proved to me this guy knew nothing about mechanics. So far ive had to buy a new driveshaft, new tranny, all new brakes, new air flow to throttle body rubber boot.  New shifter linkage because the old one was bent and cracked. This poor little car will be on the road soon. Thinkin i might save up for a MM forced induction setup, or perhaps build one myself

ahh so it sounds like he may have gotten a good deal if he would have had to pay for someone to fix all of that. MM are good but one should be able to build something like that for considerably less.

Ya well the 325e was fixed. Nothing wrong with it, it was my daily driver and toy for upgrades. I traded him a 100% working car for a 10% working car. the only thing that worked was the motor would start but its an M42 so its alot better in the long run then my M20B27
