1988 BMW 325is
Description
For sale is my clean 1988 BMW 325is. This is the sport version of the 325i, made only from 1987 to 1991 for the US. This car only has 122,000 miles on it and runs and drives like new. A/C and heat works great. All electric windows, mirrors, and sunroof work. The original BMW computer works and gives fuel economy, outside temp, avg speed, timer, date, and clock. Manual transmission shifts smooth. Cold air intake and performance chip gives the engine a little more power and revs more freely than with the stock air box (plus it sounds great @4k+ RPM). The head was just replaced with a brand new one due to the old having a small crack 1.5k miles ago. Rebuilt engine installed 3k miles ago. Along with the car comes the original basketweave wheels (they need new tires, tread is fine they have a bad rumble at 55MPH+). Everything works perfectly and this car drives extremely well. There is a small leak from the front of the transmission (input shaft seal needs replacing). The trans oil level is hardly affected. The output shaft seal was just replaced. There is a dash cap installed over the original dash, however it has cracked. This isn't noticeable from the driving position so I haven't gotten around to replacing it. It also needs a new knee panel that goes under the driver's side, the old one is worn out. Paint has been re-sprayed by the previous owner and looks great but there are a few spots where it has chipped. Only spot of rust is under the battery in the rear. If you are looking for an E30 in great shape, that is fun to drive look no further. The 325is is the most desirable other than the M3. This car is a joy to drive and will put a smile on your face. I have received many complements when driving this BMW. For a 30 year old car it looks and drives very good. I do not need to sell I just don't have the room for it at my apartment. I only drive this car when it is dry and on the weekends so the milage will not go up too much from the time I post this.
