My 1986 BMW 325

This is a video of my 86 BMW 325. I purchased it for $800 and have plans for a engine swap. The car, at the moment is completely stock aside from the 2.92 LSD, Prijector headlights with HIDs, and the front strut bar.

If you have any questions please leave a comment or pm me

Thanks

im glad you mentioned this car is a great investment because im buying one for $1000 with 145,000 miles which is not bad in my opinion i just wanted to ask if the engine is the 2.7L inline straight 6 engine if you know i would love to get a response back thanks...

@ablockproduction Yes its the 2.7L straight six. The 2.7 is a economy, low revving, high torque engine. I cruise around the mountains where i live at 35MPG which is awesome. The best part is the engine is not weak either. Being it has about 170 ft lbs of torque it can get from 0-60 in about 8-9 seconds. Then adding to the greatness, like i said above, the 2.7 lasts much much longer than the 2.5 does. Its just all around a good engine. You will love the car. Lots of fun!

@UAL2958 i go for more power, i dont really like the e's.

sorry

[UAL2958]

@RCkid8 yeah i would too, but my volvo is like a spaceship.. The volvo has 280HP and that keeps the smile on my face. I just use the bmw as a little toy for the corners and all..

[RCkid8]

@UAL2958 what volvo is it? its it the rwd kinda of volvo? i only like rwd :p

[UAL2958]

@RCkid8 Nah, unfortunately its the fwd model.. S70. But i mean, as long as you know how to drive it, its no big deal. People think you can drive all cars the same, but thats just not true. With the bmw i can go flying into a corner and be fine. In the volvo ill under steer. another example, i can gun it going around a corner in the volvo, not in the bmw... FWD isnt that bad.. You just gotta be careful and stay ahead of the car and you'll be fine. The more power, the more you gotta pay attention

I have a 1986 bmw 325e also and i have a cracked dash 2 i bought mine for 600 and it had interior carpeting but needed tranny work

[diegomaselli]

Awesome car!! I had a 1986 318 also 2 doors. Loved it!! Any problems with cracks in your dashboard??

@westr483 the car with such miles and good condition is worth alot (with clean title and original engine), especially for the younger bmw fanatecs who are just getting their first car or want a quick good looking vehicle. The average price i see for these cars is 2500, but all with higher miles and dents and somewhat ripped interior. check the value online, there is many great sites

[westr483]

Ok quick question for any bmw enthusiasts on here. I bought an 86 BMW 325 e bout 3 years ago for $2250, with only 32,000 miles on it, now I just broke the 50k mark. Just wondering what you think it would be worth. Body is in good condition just average wear from driving, and interior is great besides slight wear on drivers side see, but no cracking.

@ShipYardFilms can you pm me a site where i can find them so cheap? and to answer your question, YES, if there is nothing wrong with it there is no need to think twice, these are awesome cars and can run for ever if taken care of, i want to buy 86i but cant find them as cheap as you found it

[ShipYardFilms]

Im looking into the basically the same BMW but it's a es and its for sale for 750$ and nothings wrong with it and it's a 89 should I get it?

[dsg816]

Hey quick question I am currently interested in bmw's I love foreign cars and thought a 3 series would make a great project I just want to know if they are difficult to work on? would you recommend it for a project? I own an Audi a4 and it is a nightmare to get under the hood of it!!! =/ hope to hear from you soon.
