How to buy a good BMW e30 325

[mrsinister]

Thanks for this, this is exactly what I need as I'm on the search for my first E30! Can't wait to see more content from y'all!

Yeah e30's are getting really expensive now .... you used to be able to pick up a shell for like 100 bucks and an engine and manual swap for like 600 easily but now with everyone doing m50 swaps the getrag manual transmissions are getting really spendy to a point where im struggling to find one for my next build :/

Oh that engine rev noise. How I miss it.

I had 2 ‘87 528e’s. One manual with leather and other auto with cloth. A ‘85 325e 5 speed 2 door with cloth, notice yours in the video with manual roof. Mine was power and had the full computer. Then lastly the car I wish I never sold, ‘88 325ic stick White black top crimson leather. Such a blast.

Lachsilber is Salmon Silver. Not Silver Lake.
Battery would be in the rear in a 325, unless it’s a very, so of course there’s no rust in the one up front. Early 318 had them in front.

doing this video in the rain is insane thanks

im trying to buy my first BMW e30 convertible, and this video really helped me see the things I need to check out but is there anything else I should be looking for on the convertible version?

I've always had a fondness for the "eta"s the underestimated American brother to the 325i. Their lower broader torque curve makes them great daily drivers. If you swap out the too tall 2.75:1 diff for a 3.25 - 3.45:1 it gives them a whole new personality.

I think the real question is "where" to find an e30 these days? I had a '91 325i and was rear ended one day 😭 have been looking for another one ever since

The Lachssilber 325 is really good condition. A lot of interior work, but all manageable. Btw the worn out stickers on the a/c button etc can be replaced. 325i Sunroof, a/c (very rare in Germany) M-Technik 1 steering wheel (500$ in Germany) and the sport seats. Really cool car. Btw the rusty chrome around the front window can be replaced for small money! Thanks for the learning track learnt a lot about my beloved car model.

Just a nitpicky thing, but a car made in 7/86 would likely be an 87 model year actually

Too many hoarders holding on to 5 or more, too many nobjockeys charging 3-4x more than they are worth. Hardly any for sale in a condition you would want to drive it if you owned a typical 80, 000 mile 8 year old example second hand back then. You are not going to get a bargain these days and even finding a nice set of BBS wheels on sale from somebody who isn't high/a joker is going to be a monumental effort. The party is over for getting that 325i Sport you always promised yourself in the early nineties people.

Fabulous car the E30👍
There are 2 convertibles where I live one sitting in the road white GReg and an H reg in a drive I wish someone could give these great cars a good home I just cannot unfortunately 😏

God bless everyone have a great day be safe

Great video, can you make a video on changing the diff on a 325e?

[Dominic_]

What’s the difference between an “e” and an “I”?

[baboosted]

Nice video! Question on the sunroof video I don’t see any other video of what u mentioned. I have a 84 manual sunroof and when I had recently purchased the car I tried opening the sunroof and felt the wire inside snap or something on the rail I can spin the handle but just hear the wires move but sunroof doesn’t so not sure how to fix that no way of popping it up or down :(
