Took a U turn

Pull into the dirt lot

It’s got some kind of custom fender flares

It’s a 325iX

(This is where excitement peaked; it’s all downhill from here)

It an auto

It’s got a rough interior

It’s got an “A/C delete”

The rear bumper looks collapsed in

I sulkingly walked back to my car

Didn’t get any pics as my daughter hung out in the car listening to the Into the Spiderverse Soundtrack.

I think all the E30 325IX where automatics, I never saw a manual at least.

Into the Spiderverse was a surprisingly awesome movie.

How much was the asking price on this E30?

It’s a good movie and one of those ones where ita about as good as you’re going to get as a parent watching a movie your kid chose.

$2,500; which honestly, considering I didn’t see rust(in MN) and assuming the awd works would be an okay deal

I did not know that; I thought I had seen manuals for sale. But I have been known to misremember things.

I could be wrong I’ve only seen a few of them they were all automatic,

I once checked out a manual E30 325iX wagon near Munich which Doug DeMuro was looking into importing back when he was into importing rare cars and getting online mileage out of them. So they exist.

The car was rusty and generally in a bad shape with a seller of the “I know what I have” persuasion, so after seeing the pictures I took, Doug imported something else (the Skyline I think.)

Nah, nearly bought a 325IX with a 5 spd but a bit to beat for my tastes
