I am posting my 1985 BMW 323i Euro import coupe for sale because I picked up an E30 M3 and no longer have time or space to finish this project.


the basics:
-1985 BMW E30 coupe. Cosmosblau. Euro car. Euro bumpers, Euro headlights, Euro fogs, Euro grilles, Euro dash clock, Euro cluster, Euro check panel, rear sun shade, etc etc.
- 1994 BMW 3.0 liter V8 M60B30. Alusil updated block. from a 1994 530i sedan
- S5D 310Z 5 speed manual gearbox
- 3.73 Limited Slip differential
- Black leather sport seats
- frenched high beams and fogs
- Mtech spoiler and steering wheel
- original trunk tool kit w. warning triangle and other NLA fun stuff not seen on US spec cars.
- Vogtland springs and Bilstein Sport shocks/struts. under 2000 miles on them.

Whats good:
- body and underbody are SOLID. 99% rust free
- Garagistic V8 swap mount kit, X5 headers, E34 mounts, E34 trans, e36M drive shaft, all that stupid stuff is DONE for you already.
- ZF trans and engine drove awesome in the E34 donor
- Euro car. alone, probably worth half or two thirds my asking price.
- interior is really nice
- CRANK WINDOWS!
- all the Euro goodies are present and work
- suspension is all recently replaced
- V8 sound, and its very fast.

What needs doing:
- needs bolts and gaskets in the downpipes
- current exhaust system is poorly done, and was only done as a stop gap measure. it works, but not pretty.
- radiator leaks. its a 1987 535i radiator, easy to find a new one of luckily.
- needs feed and return lines run to coolant overflow bottle.
- shifter selector rod is the wrong length, only reverse, first third and fifth are reachable in current state. will look for an E36 selector rod and include with the car to correct this.
- no power steering. pump is present as is the rack. you can attach it if you please.
- no fan. electric or viscous on the engine.
- tires are miss-matched and crappy on the basketweave wheels.
- remote brake booster bracket needs to be welded more securely to the car before the car is driven on the roads. currently tack welded.
- brakes need to be bled, as does the clutch.
- tachometer, temperature gauges are inoperable. will include instruction on how to get those to work for the next owner however. not so bad honestly.
-drivers door card has seen better days.


actual mileage unknown. cluster reads 106k.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:

Four seniors to drive around world in pair of Suzuki Jimny SUVs for charity

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

Plenty of us here at Autoblog have designs for epic drives. Whether it's bouncing around the country in an old International or heading from Alaska to Chile on a bike, we like to think we have big aspirations. Or at least we did until we heard about these four gentlemen. You see, Leslie George Carvall, Alan Butler, Glyn Maher and Charles Scott are all in their 70's, and they plan to pile into a pair of Suzuki Jimny SUVs and drive around the world. Sort of makes a hike across country seem like a trip down the block to the local corner store. They're calling it "The Ultimate Challenge," and they plan to undertake the journey for two reasons.
First, they want to prove that age shouldn't stand in the way of people doing what they want to do. Second, the group hopes to raise funds for the 'Heaven Can Wait I'm Busy' group, which aims to direct money toward worthy charities both in the UK and around the world. Save the Children and Oakhaven Hospice are the two currently designated charities.
The trip gets started in just three days, and you can head over to the effort's site to track their progress. The route should cover some 16,500 road miles and 10,375 sea miles. You can also catch up with the project on Facebook.

Minnesota tinkerer selling off 500-plus motorcycles, dirt bikes and scooters

Tue, Sep 17 2019

For 25 years, Tony Joslyn's entire life has orbited around motorcycles. After getting into bikes at an early age, Joslyn turned his passion into Road Rash, a salvage house where Joslyn would buy and sell two-wheelers and their parts. He wasn't picky with his workings, either, as he has accrued motorcycles across a huge range of decades and brands. And now it's all up for sale.  Suzukis, Yamahas, Harley-Davidsons, Hondas, Kawasakis, and more from the '60s, '70s, '60s, '90s, and '00s are all currently listed on K-Bid.com. There is a variety of size, styles, colors and setups, and a press release says most of the bikes are 'complete and ready for restoration or a tuneup." For Joslyn, the collection just became too much to deal with after all these years.  "It's time to clear the herd and slow down," Joslyn said in a release. "Once it starts to feel like a job, you lose some of the joy. I'm looking forward to getting back to working a few motorcycles now and then. ... It's hard to pick a favorite out of the collection, as I am partial to all of them, but I've always enjoyed the Kawasaki 3-cylinders." The bikes are located in Clarks Grove, Minnesota, directly south of Minneapolis roughly near the Iowa border. Interested parties can visit and inspect the bikes before purchasing, and there's plenty of time to do so. Open now, the auction will close October 2, 2019.  This content is hosted by a third party.
