[QUOTE="snchin, post: 647756, member: 249"] 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. [/QUOTE]
