    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.

    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 :/

    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 :(

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @bobfangio4713

    The engine. The "e" has the m20b27, 2.7 liter 121 hp @ 4250 rpm 170 lb⋅ft @ 3250 rpm redline @ 5000 rpm. The "i" has the m20b25, 169 hp @ 5800 rpm 167 lb⋅ft @ 4000 rpm redline @ 6500 rpm. The "e" engine is designed for efficiency but it has a lower broader torque curve so if you swap out the 2.75:1 diff it comes with for a 3.25:1 one you get a great daily driver. You don't have to rev it to get it to move.

    I don't think that buying a 30yo vintage car is good for a first car. things will be breaking and other things will break when you try taking things apart. expect rust that will need to be addressed. that said, many have had it for a first car. if you have the tools, skills and finances then sure. if you don't then I suggest getting something newer.

    Typical: short shifter and upgraded steering wheel but the rest of the interior is trashed 🙄. This is what we consider in good shape now. E30s need the equivalent to a child services hotline to report abuse.
