Smile new vehicle

some of you may remember me saying awhile ago that i (my parents, IppoJ here on the forums is stepdad) were plannning on getting a BMW e30
there was the one in missouri we drove out to look at that ended up not being worth it...but

weve been searching and finally found the one!

its a 1987 BMW 325is, black, with about 142,xxx miles, 5 sp manual...

the car is in PA and was just recently put on the truck to be shipped here
ETA is thursday or friday (Dec. 18 or 19)

here is a link to the "for sale" thread of the car on bimmerforums
http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1127905

for those of you who might be about ready to get on me for giving up the SVX for the e30, it is to my understanding that the SVX will remain in our possesion and be used as a winter car (ill let IppoJ chime in on his exact plans)

i will post pictures when the car is in my hands
but for those who are interested in seeing it, there are pictures taken by the seller on the link above

Re: new vehicle

Nice, I put some serious miles on a black on black '88 325is, wore what was left of the suspension out, rebuilt everything...that was a fast car not in a straight line, but in the twisties, turns out mine had some chassis problems, so it will become a race car, and all that suspension work will go into my new '92 325i cabriolet These cars are fun, but not so much in the wet, much sharper response than the SVX, a nice compliment, I miss mine, but I'll build a 1991 2 door soon, with 5 lug, engine, transmission, and whatever else I can fit from a 1997 M3 under it e30 is hard to beat, I'm kinda like Earl with them 6 so far, more on the way.

Re: new vehicle

Very nice lookin car. My brother-in-law has a 1974 2002 4 speed that he's had since high school-he's 28 now. Now that is one sweet car.

Congrats on the purchase.

Re: new vehicle

decent but I'm still pretty shocked you would opt bmw over svx.
ultimately your choice and to your liking, which is all that matters and
at least you get to keep the SVX around when you miss it.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

as im sure you all know
the svx is no cheap car
and ours is requiring more and more work...and the $ adds up

believe it or not, bmw parts (at least for this car) are cheaper and there are more of them available

so, if i had the ability to pour lots of money into the svx i would definitely keep it, but sadly that is not the case
