I might be seriously wrong, so dont take my words literally.

1. this car is one of the latest batches, since it has 2 air bags. So it couldnt have been produced in 1995. 325's were only produced in 1994 & 1995. UNLESS, of course the owner changed it. Judging by the black roof lining and rear view mirror, he/she might have gone the whole hog.
2. it has the intake manifold and valve cover form a M52. The valve cover from M50 were prone to leaks and many have changed to the M52 version. But I would be keen to know why an M52 intake is installed into a M50 engine. UNLESS, of course this is not an M50.
3. Original 325 manuals do not have the 2 rubber socket thingys beside the fuse box. They only have one. UNLESS, the owner just put a dummy connector there to make it look nicer.

IF I am wrong, please dont shoot me or flame me :) If this car is ORI, then the price is justified, if not........Just my 2 cents worth. But damn, it be a nice looking car.

But if i were you i would go for the e36 325 that is up for sale here.
Purely because of the rarity and the originality of that unit. We all here know the 2nd and 3rd owner personally.

Yeah, that would be the dream. But the price just a lil off my budget for now...

every single person says that ....but eventually spending even more later on ...worse still when you aren't sure who the previous owner is ...

from the price tag alone, most likely it's gonna be another couple of hundreds off ...and with all the transfer, road tax and insurance ...and the after that getting into shape via sending it to workshop ...fuhhh maybe another couple of thousands ...

so better be prepared for the etc etc cost to be on the safe side



@Slyder is pretty well verse about the car mentioned above ..... weiii that player from you car right ? :)

2 possibilities

1. Owner moded it. IF I AM NOT WRONG, late 1996 onwards had the digital air con. It can be retrofitted and quite a number of members have done it.
2. This in fact not, not an original 1995 car
