hdorre Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I don't have a second account, I had my name changed? Lol, whoops. Sorry. Your name is completely different, so I didn't recognize it. Anyhow, your car looks nice aesthetically. I'm not much of a performance guy, so I can't speak much about it lolz Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korey_hofer Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I actually sold it, but it was decently fast ran mid 11's the one time I tracked it. I'm looking for a new one now Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

Superjay Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 my friend says that a 1986 BMW 325e would be cheaper than owning an american car idk why he thinks thats right please tell him that any german car is going to be more exensive to repair than any american car stay the fuck away from the 325e...the "e" is for economy, and it was designed as a fuel efficient alternative to the sportier NEW 325i (fuel injected)...the "e" is carbureted , but only with a single carb, and it's a 2 bbl. the older 325 (no letter following) used 2 or 3 2bbl carbs, depending on the year. it only has about 95hp brand new...at this point it will probably put out about 75hp. that thing wouldn't get out of its own way I am somewhat of a BMW connoisseur (We should chat sometime! I love these cars to death!) I love my BMW's, and will probably always have one. I've had everything from a 1982 320 Aplina, to a 1994 530i (the first BMW V8) to several M3's, my 633CSi and 1985M6, and my current 335i convertible (that hard top convertible is fuggin sick) with the Vishnu piggyback. Like I said...I LOVE my BMW's (I simply refuse to call them Bimmers...it's just to shitty sounding) to clarify for everyone not familiar with them...Bimmer is the car, Beemer is the motorcycle If I understood you correctly you said the 1986 BMW 325e has a carb? (incorrect) I've had to replace the injectors. (1 owner car since 86') I have it sitting outside still. Blew the timing chain at 498k miles. Almost made 500k but I was stupid with it. It's very fuel efficient you are correct. All E30 BMW's are extremely efficient. The 86' 325e came with 121hp and 119 ft/lbs torque from the lot (US model, not euro)The 86' was one of the cheaper models to fix. It didn't have all the plastic bumpers and bodywork. It was basically all steel bumpers and wasnt the pretty version but it was efficient and did drive everywhere you needed it to. It would start in 20 below weather when my moms 2005 Chevy Malibu wouldn't even think about it. I did the entire suspension including labor and parts, springs, shocks, struts for $590. Might I add I did nothing. I dropped it off and picked it up done and paid cash. No special insurance or anything. You just have to find a good mechanic who likes working on the E30's and it's not very expensive. I've had 3 of them and they are incredible cars. I will never buy another car make. Might I add one more thing. I pay for everything myself, my parents do not give me any money for parts or the car. I'm only 18. They are very affordable cars for what you will get out of them. Buy it, end of story! Sorry for the book as well. But it's a topic that I love. I would never say stay away from any BMW except the upper 90's 540i's (big head issues and a huge recall was done but about 30% of the cars were only repaired) Not counting the 86' which we've had in our family since 86' my dad and I have owned 4 BMW's in the past 2 years. 88' 325i Convertible, great ride, cheap to repair (timing belt and water pump + labor for $280). 92' 525i little more luxury, smooth ride, fast, big engine, more expensive to fix then the 88'. 95' 325i bought it and sold it 8 weeks later, trash, too expensive to repair, will never buy again. And now my current 89' 325i, almost perfect condition, fun as hell to drive especially with the short shift kit and exhaust done. Good luck man. They are great cars and there are plenty of parts around from people that collect them. I can guarantee you that you will spend more repairing an American car then you would over the lifetime of the BMW. My mom has spend more on her 2005 Malibu then I have and her car only has 56k on it. No accidents. All replacement parts that just went out. Poor quality control. - GBS on further review, you are absolutely correct...the '86 325's were the 325 and the 325e...it was the first injected 325...still a dog though. I had massive transmission issues with my 530i (it was the first 5 speed auto from them). sometimes it would take 30 seconds or more the drop into R, and then it was a snap drop into gear. I'd often have to rev to 2500 RPM to get it to engage forward gears from Reverse. They replaced it a couple times...I think it was a program issue, and they never bothered to check the code. My M6 had clutch issues, but that's because it was abused a bit by the first owner. That was an easy fix. 335i has had ZERO issues, though some have reported electrical gremlins. The Vishnu did go into "limp home" once, so i ended up rewiring it so i could take it out of the circuit with the flip of a switch (2 551 chips, a 555 chip, 3 NPN transistors, a PNP transistor and 15 relays) just so it will never affect my drive again. That, and i can take it for service without the add-on showing up on the scan. My Alpina was my first (and probably my favorite) BMW. I loved that car. the newer cars are considerably more advanced with all the creature comforts and doo-hickies, but that 320 was amazing. fast, quick, nimble...the fun to drive factor of it was, on a scale of 10...easily a 15. I miss that car. when the rear-end blew i didn't have the funds to fix it so I sold it as is. it had original paint and was cherry....I'd trade my 335 for it in a heartbeat Although I think my next BMW will probably be an X5 (maybe the M, that thing is sick) if I can find a B7 in good condition I'll snap it up.
