Description

Hello E30 Enthusiasts!
Up for sale I have my 1991 BMW 325i 2.5L 4 Door in a rare color combo, Calypso Red w/Indigo Blue Leather interior, one of the last ones produced.
This is a good example of an Unmolested, Original, Matching Numbers, NON-smoker, Solid, California, Rust Free, and most importantly a NO Accidents E30. And the reason I emphasize on Accident Free, is because if you're familiar with E30s, you know how fragile and hard to align these plastic bumpers are, even after the slightest impact, the gaps will never look the same again. This E30 was lucky enough to survive all these years without getting hit, and along with a well maintained M20 engine that can cruise effortless at 90, closing in on a quarter million miles in almost 30 years.Even though the hood looks rough at the moment due to a poor respray at some point in the past, I believe it would make a great candidate for restoration, because a straight rust free body is what really matters, or keep the patina look if you're into that...Please see all photos and videos below to appreciate.
The drive is very comfortable, with quite impressive handling for a stock E30.I went with New Bilstein B4s all around, as well as 4 New Shock Mounts.
SOME OTHER WORKDONE within the 1 year of ownership:
Rebuilt Steering Rack with New Tie Rods, Sway Bar Brackets/Bushings, Control Arms with Lollipops, followed by 4 wheel alignment.Complete Timing Belt Job, as well as All New Drive Belts.New Headers GasketsNew Throttle Body Water Housing Gasket
New Fan ClutchNew Blower MotorSome New Vacuum HosesNew Air FilterNew Front Brake Pads and Rotors.New Odometer Gears (mileage might be off by no more than 20 miles)New Bosch Spark Plugs
New Fuel Filter and Hoses
Oil Change with Castrol GTX 20-50Rebuilt A/C Compressor (Ice Cold system converted to R134)
Tires are good with at approx. 75% thread left on them.All power works (Sunroof, windows, mirrors, locks)All the Lights work as well, aftermarket stereo, speakers.Most of the work was done by BMW experts at Garage54 in Glendale CA.
The few issues with the car that I didn't get a chance to deal with since they were not that serious, are:
OBD doesn't work (common issue)
Brake Lining Light flashes sometimes (probably a loose sensor).
The Dash has a few cracks.
The Windshield has a small non-threatening crack on the passenger side and a couple of chips (bought it like that, no issues even when driving on the freeway at high speed). I was going to swap when painting the car.Rear Right Door lock doesn't work (probably a faulty solenoid inside the actuator?)Brakes Warning Light comes on sometimes when starting the car, but goes away when tap the Brake Pedal (common problem, no issues since they're new)The Lights behind the 2 A/C Switch buttons are out, but you'll feel and hear the system work when pushing them in.(see video)The Power Antenna recently got stuck going down half way, but you can hear the motor still working.And as noticed in photos, driver seat in bad shape.Also just noticed as I was filming the walkaround video that the front side markers are off.
I have posted lots of photos to cover as many angles on this car as anyone can see, and a few Videos to show how amazing it runs, plus the Working COLD A/C and Odometer which seems to be a big deal on E30s now days..Only reason for selling this car is because I recently picked up another Calypso, but a 2Door, and I can only afford to fully restore one of them. This E30 has been one of myMost reliable Daily Driver, and I've had over 15 of these cars in the last 20+ years.
Its been Adult Owned all its life, all stock, and unmolested unlike otherE30s out there. Its not the quickest E30 off line since its automatic, but once you're on the highway its a smooth drive with excellent MPG, ideal for daily long commutes and/or traffic.Its a great car with strong bones, just needs cosmetics, would hope to see it get into the right hands...
IF YOU'RE LOCAL, PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR A "TEST DRIVE". I DON'T HAVE THE TIME FOR THAT. I HAVE POSTED VIDEOS TO OFFER EVERYONE A "TEST DRIVE" AND SHOW WHAT THIS CAR IS ALL ABOUT, WHETHER YOU'RE DOWN THE STREET OR 3000 MILES AWAY. ITS ONLY FAIR...Serious Buyers ONLY!
CLEAN and Clear Title, Pink Slip in hand.
