I got a bimmer!

[twistedGTS]

hehehe well yeah... but nothing to brag about. It's an '85 325e. My friend gave it to me for $300, it's a 5-speed and it runs great. This is going to be a nice project. I have a new found love for 80's car and I also wanted a RWD car to play around with.

yeah it will get there, there really isnt much to it. Add suspension, body kit, wheels ($$$) and a paintjob ($$$) bam you have that bad-ass ride. there is also the engine and the interior. So it won't be cheap but it's not imposible. Only difference is that mine is a 4-door but what can you do.

just make sure that you learn to drive a rwd b4 you start to push it around corners.......otherwise you assss will be fishtailin like a bish or on the grass on the side of the road :gap:

true, i never drove rwd before, but thankfully this car doesnt have crazy power... yet

[boxologist]

start hitting up the BMW autXs. the oldschoolers there will really help u out if they don't think think ur a complete tool. so all bets are off...

[TRD StreetRacing]

:werd:

i've talk'd to some of those old school bmw members and they are very helpful :thumbup:

[twistedGTS]

cool, will do. I've never autoxed before but it's somehting i'd like to do.

[Tikked Again]

I'm sure it would be a good ca rif you take care of it and due a few suspension mods, but I certianly would not go thowing thousands of dollars at such an old car. Unless of course you have a lot of pocket change and want to learn the pain and sufferng that is working on old rusty vehicles :chuckles:

[twistedGTS]

car seems to have more problems that i'm willing to deal with.. it does run but i also found out it has the eta engine wich is not very good for perfomance mods. I think i'm gonna give it back. I'll probably save up and buy one in better conditions.
If anyone is interested in it let me know.

[evil eye]

Damn Fab that sucks. Older BMW OEM parts cost a grip from what I hear anyway, but I'm sure you knew that already.

Hey, Matt said he was interested, send it his way. :D
