Hello to you all!!! I am the future owner of a 91 325 is & wanted to say hey. Its black, has 110,000 miles and is very clean. I'm paying 4k for it, sound liek a good deal? It hesitates for asec in sec. gear (O2 sensor maybe?). My freind has a 90 325 i & did somekind of internals swap with the engine from a 325e & has had some headwork done...the thing pulls mad hard!!!! I'm gonna daily drive it for a while (with suspensions mods) & turn it to a track car in a year or so.

oh yea, anyone else had any hesitation in 2nd gear? I wanna mkae usre its just the O2 but I'm not sure...

welcome to the forums.... what do you mean exactly with the 2nd gear hesitation? similar to shifting at too low of an rpm?

You mentioned it had some engine work with the 325e
There are some mixed opinions about that
You'd best be reading up on http://www.strictlyeta.net/
Basicly he took an ETA and stroked it out. Its basicly a modded "i" engine now.

If what you said was true then the previouse owner did the opposite as that guy from the site did and he started with the I motor and modded it

Hope the car is reliable and healthy. If it is then 4,000 is a good price for a clean IS!!!
