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 calls in 26,000 Daewoo-built Veronas for overheating lights

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Suzuki is recalling yet another Daewoo-built model due to possible problems with the daytime running light module in the instrument panel. This time it covers about 25,899 units of the Suzuki Verona from the 2004 through 2006 model years that need fixing. Like the repair campaign of the Forenza and Reno in May, it's possible for the part to overheat, melt and potentially cause a fire.
According to the Chronology of Principal Events section in the defect notice submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, this recall was actually a direct result of the Forenza/Reno campaign. After finding the problem in those vehicles, General Motors Korea started investigating for more affected models and discovered that the Verona was also at risk. However, the report says that no cases of melting or fires have been found in the Verona.
Obviously, Suzuki will be notifying affected owners and will replace the DRL module free of charge. Scroll down to read the recall request or check out the full defect notice in PDF format, here.

EU finds Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki Vitara break emissions rules

Thu, Jan 23 2020

AMSTERDAM — Fiat Chrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki's Vitara diesel models both break emissions rules and must be fixed or face a ban on sales across Europe, the Dutch road authority ruled on Thursday. The RDW authority, acting as the reference regulator for across the European Union, said Jeep had developed a software fix and that the authority had ordered the company to recall the model across Europe to roll it out. It added Suzuki had yet to find a credible solution for the Vitara. "Suzuki must come with adequate improvement measures or the RDW will begin the process of revoking its European type approval," the RDW said in a statement, adding it had also started the process of revoking approval for the Jeep Grand Cherokee as a "precautionary measure." Regulators across the world have been testing diesel models since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 that it used illegal software to cheat U.S. emissions tests. The RDW said it had found both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Vitara had used "prohibited emissions strategies" that led them to emit higher levels of harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) on the road than under testing conditions. Dutch State Secretary for Infrastructure, Stientje van Veldhoven, said in a letter to parliament she would inform prosecutors of the RDW's findings. Fiat Chrysler and Suzuki could not immediately be reached for comment. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Suzuki Jimny pickup concept heading to Tokyo Auto Salon

Thu, Dec 27 2018

Some of the best news this year is coming at the tail end of 2018. Suzuki's Jimny is already pretty awesome, but for the upcoming 2019 Tokyo Auto Salon, Suzuki is preparing something quite special for its little off-roader: a Jimny pickup! Suzuki based the concept on the Sierra trim level. The truck is designed to be an active sidekick for customers who need the convenience of a pickup for either DIY stuff or adventuring. The retro style is immensely cool: gold bodywork, wood sides, different grille, light bar, white roof and matching white wheels with chromed hubcaps — the entire thing is like a 1970s Suzuki aftermarket parts catalogue applied to a new Jimny. The cab has been shortened to ditch the rear seats, and a short bed has been tacked on without lengthening the wheelbase. If you ask us, the wheelbase even looks shorter than stock. Accompanying the pickup is a "Survive" concept that looks ready for adventuring. The stock bumpers have been replaced with sturdy metal ones that improve the approach and departure angle. There's also an external rollover cage, a winch, custom wheels and some Defender-style aluminum diamond plate. Suzuki says the Jimny Survive has been outfitted for traversing "severe nature" under extreme conditions. We'd happily take both of these mountaineering or even for a weekend trip to the cottage. While both of these trucks are obviously concepts, they show the direction where a Jimny owner could feasibly take their truck. And since some earlier generation Jimnys have been available as pickups, it's not totally improbable to imagine a production Jimny pickup somewhere in the next decade. Here's hoping.
