Hi fellow enthusiasts! I was at the F1 track here in Austin on Friday flogging an R8 around the track with the (shhhh) Audi driving school and one of the instructors had this for sale: .... as you can tell, my conversations always circle around to the BMW's. Anyhow, this young man was very interesting and he's looking to sell this- he moved from Colorado to Austin and the car is at his dads house (with the lift) in Colorado, and here is his little write up on the car: Looking for $11K
"Hi Peter. It’s a 1988 325i Touring. 147,000 Miles.
It is a Gray Market car, meaning, 25 years after production, the US regulations are released, and importing the car is much easier.
This car was imported from Britain in November of 2015. We then bought the car around November of 2016.
Since my ownership, it has had regular, and preventive maintenance.
Frequent oil changes
New Bilstein shocks on all corners.
New tie rod ends
New Turner Motorsports driveshaft
UUC short throw shifter
New shift linkage bushings
Replaced the rear diff with a 4.10 LSD
The water pump, and timing belt were replaced around 144k
The car is receiving a new refurbished head, including all new valvetrain components + timing belt right now
Car is located in Colorado, with a clean title, and just passed emissions.
These are the most recent photos I have on my phone. "
I have no dog in this hunt but if anyone is interested I can give the owner's number-
