Hey guys, i havent been around here in a while, mainly because my 4runner hasnt moved much since the Pilot Rock trip where my 4wd didnt work :chair: well, figured i would show off my new DD... I love when a car pays for itself (im paying less for car payment and gas in this than i was paying just for gas in the 4runner to DD it)

anyways, on to the pics!

Details:

Its a 1986 BMW 325 "eta" (the gas mileage version). Soon to be converted to an "i" stroker, and put down about 200 hp vs the current 121 ;) of course, a 5 speed manual, and Rwd :-D

Absolutely perfect condition, im the 2nd owner and the first was an old couple. Only 160,000 miles, and i have put on almost 4k of those since feb 12th when i bought it.

very clean, very fun car to drive,

Nice ride, I like the 80's styling :thumbup:

V6's can be a tad faster from reduced rotational inertia, but inline 6's have a fun & predictable torque curve don't they? Though I gotta say, both the wife's car and my truck also have inline 6's and neither are slugs.

Nice find! I love I6 motors, and I really like those older 3 series BMWs.

Seems like everybody is buying DDs now. :D
