I'm testing the waters here, seeing who would be interested in a very well maintained 1994 BMW 325is. I have owned the car for over a year (I go through cars quickly) and love it. It is such a step up from other cars I have owned. However, I love Hondas and am starting to feel the need to return to them. I have a nice list of all maintenance and mods (very few) that I have done and the dates they were performed. I will summarize for you guys below. For the people who don't know, the 325is is a Coupe with a 2.5L I6 engine making 189hp. It is of course a 5-speed and RWD. It has 113K on it and a clean Carfax.

<U>Maintenance:</U>

Blackstone Labs/Tyson Oil Analysis Performed last Winter
Driver's seat motor gear replaced (to recline seat)
Brake pedal switch replaced
New Thermostat with aluminum housing
New water pump with metal impellers
New A/C belt
New Microfilter
New Brembo blank rotors and Axxis Ultimate pads all around
Brand new (installed 2 weeks ago!) Bridgestone G 009 tires
And of course numerous oil changes with dates

<U>Mods:</U>

Alpine CD player model CDA-7894
Clear corners
Black kidney grills
White/red tailights
TMS (Turner Motorsports) chip
ECIS intake w/heatshield
6x9 speaker adapters for rear with Pioneer Speakers
Koni SA (yellow) shocks
Eibach Prokit springs
E46 M3 Rear strut mounts

<u>Bad:</u>

The car has some rust on the driver's side rear wheel well (the typical spot for Hondas). It has been painted over but has chipped away and is noticeable now. Would have to be repaired for car to be safe from rust. The car drives wonderfully, but the new brakes squeak. I have reinstalled the brakes making sure I greased the pad/piston contact area and that didn't help; most likely my pad compound. Car also has some slight pinging at 2.5K. Absolutely no pinging higher than that!

As I mentioned, I have all of this information typed up. I created the sheet when I bought the car to keep track of its history. I also have the Oil Analysis. I also have had the car dynoed (not on a dynojet, unfortunately. On an inertia dyno that reads more conservatively) and can provide those sheets.


<u>What I'm looking for</u>

I would like a swapped Civic hatch, with huge preference for an EK. I've had an EG, and I loved it, but I need something new and nicer (BMW will spoil you like that). I would prefer something with just simple swap and not a lot of aesthetic mods. Just a clean, swapped Civic. If you have something else you think I might like, like a GSR, feel free to post.

Pictures! (Car is not lowered in these pictures; I don't have any recent pics)

 

has the timing belt/or chain ever been replaced? Does it have a clear tittle? Pass emissions test? Car look pretty clean

 

hmm

Not to my knowledge (it is a chain). Yes, clear title/clear carfax. Yes, stock exhaust passes emissions.
