A can of Duplicolor silver wheel paint and 4 $10 BMW BBS Roundel stickers PN 36 13 2 225 190 will make the wheels you have stand tall.

 

Your'e right the iX offset is +41mm and the rest of the 325 line is +25mm. I might be interested in them if Serge isn't. What wheels did you end up with on your iX?

 

Bought some 16 bbs knockoffs from tirerack. i needed new tires anyway...



not 100% certain i dont need the originals. i may turn them into snow shoes. ill have to see how these handle in the winter first.

I wish i had those sport seats. i slide around everywhere in the ones i have.

 

Always loved these cars. If I were to buy a sedan would definitely consider something like this.

 

Had the same in mid-'09's, '87 2-door, 5 spd, black on black.

Good luck, Awesome car!!!

 

I drove an '87 325is at an autoX once and had a blast, that was one reason I sold the Scirocco and bought a 944. Rear wheel drive is fun, rear wheel drive w/factory LSD ala 325is is a blast. The other reason was I drove a brand new Elise at the same autoX. Good Bye front wheel drive

The E30's are my favorite, the E36's are a close second, I almost bought an 325is before the 944 but the deal on the 944 was too good.

Enjoy,

Those wheels look great on your car. 16's fill it out very nice. No worry on the OE wheels...you really should keep them with a good set of snow tires. The gripe seems to be the basketweaves pack up with snow and freeze the calipers/rotors at night.

 

Really nice ride Serge ! I've always liked those too. And a great platform for upgrades, especially in the suspension department, but I know you don't care about suspension

Hope you'll still show up for our P-Car rides - BMW's are invited.

 

Looks good, bro. You know I have always liked these cars, but after riding in a turbo s14 (e30 m3) on monday I have a new found respect for these things. This car had 20k original miles, and about $35k in gruppe ///M parts. (including the short trans, 3.46 diff, full suspension) He had 680lb springs up front and 1000lb in the rear. The car rode smoother than my 951 (on stock koni's), and cornered like nothing I have ever felt before.

PS-I can not verify this, but he told me that doing some lateral runs he has pulled 1.41 g's!!

 

Thanks for the comments guys! UD, thanks for the offer, but I think I'll pass. Don't really want to mess with spacers right now.

serge, looks great and sounds like a great deal. i think those cars can be potentially awesome track cars with the right mods. enjoy it! the red interior looks awesome.

 

i just got an 85 325E, black with tan sport seats, sportier steering wheel off of another bmw (dont know off hand what its too.. maybe an m3 or 5) i have an lsd i can put in it, as well as some chips. its alot of fun!! i like it much better than my E21 320I that i had a few years ago. its alot roomier, alot more comfortable, and definitly more refined and faster.

 

If those are ASA wheels they are owned by BBS and are really good in quality. Same equipment is used to make them.

 

yeah they are asa. i think the caps say "by BBS" or something. never really thought about it but they do have the same feel as my LMs. They werent too expsnsive. $160/pc i think.

 

Sweet deal.
