I bought a 320iA Touring ... now I need help!

TopSpeed · 03-23-2006, 02:51 PM

OK, so I bought an freshly imported E30 320iA for the wife.

I am wondering what differences are there as far as replacement/maintenance parts between the M20B20 (320i) and the M20B25 (325i)? Noone lists the 320i in their parts catalogs.

I would like to do all the fluid changes as I don't really know what's in there now. Especially the ATF as it is an auto.

Any info is appreciated!

It will get slightly modded as time goes on ... lowered, some deep dish wheels, is lip or similar, etc etc etc

Congrats on the purchase, love the E30 wagons!

The parts should be the same since it still is an M20!

Nice ride. Did you import it yourself, or buy it from a company that imports them?
BTW, you could have done better on the colour, and why only a 320?

S50 swap, 5 lug. It would be the pimpest wagon ever.

My wife and I really like the silver. I wish it was white but this was the only thing available.

Why only the 320? Because that's what was for sale. And it had to be auto because the wife doesn't want a standard DD.

I bought it from a person that brought 2 in ... a black 88 325i 5spd Touring and this one.

Enlighten me on the S50 swap ... what car does it come out of? How much should I expect to pay? I might just have to get her the Subaru that she really wants and keep this.
