    I'd stay away from anything that old with cracked heads and start looking for an 87-91 is. my 2 cents..

    Get it for cheap, and do a swap is my suggestion. If swapping in an engine is as easy as a Honda, then it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

    YOU SHOULD GET IT AND TRICK HIM. JUST FIX ONE OF THE HEADS AND GET BY 1/2 AS CHEAP. ALSO, TELL HIM THE "I" HEADS ARE REALLY REALLY RARE IN 85 SO ITS GOING TO BE MORE TO FIX.

    -Really Blunt I cant tell when your serious or sarcastic.
    -To the thread-opener: there is no such thing as a 1985 325i. 87-91 only. It must be an 325e, in which case dont spend any money on it. Oh yeah it has only one head so don't say "heads".
    -Oh, I can tell now that Blunt was making a joke. Good one.

    step one........buy it for a hundred bucks

    step two........buy an e36 M3 motor/trans for a few thousand bucks and install

    step three......give your significant other the e46 cause it's too slow now
    DJ Professor is my name, swapping M20 motors into US spec e21's (with no 323 goodies) is my game.

    I thread jack like no other......

    If you get it for free, sure.

    85s don't have too many desirable parts.

    indeed........unless you want to make a fun streeter/track car or have a spare motor on hand to toss in it and flip it.
