1984 BMW 325e opinions
I just need a car to drive for 2 months until I can get my Summer project underway, and this one popped up on CL. He willl take $1000 for it:
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/car/616244016.html I don't really know much about them other than they're torquey and pretty good on gas; and the fact that they're FR is a plus. Basically, I wanna know if anybody here has anything to say about these cars and whatnot :hustler: |
get only the 325i
not the 325e not the no-letter 325 the difference is 1500 rpm to the redline and an additional 50 hp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M20#M20B25 |
Well I know that, but I guess I wanted to know more on a reliability standpoint. Besides changing the timing belt every 50k miles, are there any issues associated with it?

Well I for one love E30's, any of them, although if it was my $ I too would wait for a 325i. Also if you want cheap and reliable try and get a 318, I know the 318is had the M42 with a timing chain that lasted forever, and the 318i had the M40, but the older 318 with the running boards had the M10, which was kind of crap.
Also I know that those timing belts can sometimes last a bit longer than 50k, but over 60k would probably not be that safe. In any case, E30 FTW, I really want to buy one and strip it out, then beat the shit out of it. |
