Oh crap, just bought a new project car.....

1987 BMW 325e sedan automatic. Backstory is a guy was pulling into a gas station too fast and cracked his oilpan. He left it there with the mechanic to fix, and he couldnt afford the repairs, so he signed it over to the shop. Since the mechanic only wants what he put into it, I got it for $800. It's in great condition, except for a dent in the driver side rear door and quarter panel. It has 232K miles, but it has been meticulously maintained. Except for the dent lol. Pics will come soon. And does anyone have any E30 parts lying around?

Congrats, but $800 seems a little steep, no? Is the oil pan still cracked or did he fix it and thats why he's charging $800? If the latter, then that's ok, just as long as that oil pan isn't cracked still!

Great pickup! And yeah, pics.

I love older BMWs. My uncle had an E30 325i (forgot what year) with awesome blue vinyl/leather seats. My parents had an '85 528e. Someday i'd like to own a 2002 or 3.0CSL.

Nope, pan was replaced, as well as fixing some other minor oil leaks, so $800 is a steal
