I have decided to part ways with my E30 as I have too many things going on. This was my first BMW and will not be my last. Its in a fantastic position for someone to pick up where I am leaving off. Tons of recent major maintenance with receipts included. This was one of the cleanest ones that I came across when looking, just looking to break even. My price is 3,900$. Located in Killington, VT.
1989 BMW 325ix
Inspected until April 2018 in VT
254,600 (odometer works)
5 speed manual
M tech steering wheel
15" basket weaves with brand new nitto nt450 tires for summer
Black heated leather (works)s
TONS of recent maintenance. Comes with plenty of receipts for all stuff done during my ownership.
I bought the car mid winter for a daily and tore into it immediately thinking it needed a head gasket. Long story short, it did not. Every single gasket, sensor, etc was replaced while the head was off. The car has 254xxx miles... motor had original cross hatching on all six cylinders... pictures to prove it. Car does not burn a drop of oil. Mobil one 5w30 synthetic and oem filter used only.
Runs and drives great some small hiccups that need to be worked out but nothing major at all, I drive it daily and love the car.
Transfer case works, AWD was amazing for second half of winter I drove it in this year.
It has the typical E30 rust spots such as the plate lights and front driver fender. Passanger is still ok but the flare is disconnected a bit at the bottom easy fix with double sided tape or with new flare clips. Dash has a few small cracks and previous owners dog unfortunately bit off a section of it, but dashes are cheap if you really wanted to replace I even have a local buddy who has one if you wanted to buy one. Some batter box rust etc but still overall solid needs one section fixed to be perfect easy to do though not as bad as most. Sturt towers are solid, no rust. Rear perches are great too. I tried to take pictures of most rust areas that people ask about with these cars, understand this is my first BMW.
Black leather interior in great shape. Heated seats work.
Since I've had the car:
New windshield
Inspection done in April
Brand new summer nitto tires put on last week 5/18

New radiator
Water temp sensor
Coolant sensor

Intake gaskets
Crank sensor
All radiator hoses
All breather hoses
Intake boot
Intake filter
Oil change w Mobil 1 and Mann filter
Valve cover gasket
Spark plugs
Cap and rotor
Ignition coil
Axle back exhaust replaced
Rear shocks
Fuel filter
Fuel pressure regulator
ICV
Purge valve
Charcoal canister
Drive belts
Windshield
Inspection
Brand new tires
More I'm sure I'm forgetting but listed on receipts. If it was on the car it was replaced.
Car has the elipsoid headlights with 5k HID conversion lights up very well and clean cutoff.
The ski racks come on the car only for full asking price. Thule bars with thule ski/board attachment, relatively new.
Ken wood rear deck speakers just put in
Older nakimichi headunit w AUX works great
Tons of little stuff I'm forgetting I'm sure. I will get better pictures in the daylight.
Overall sold car no major rust compared to most, very solid. The car just had well over 2500$ put into it in the last 4K miles.
Could use:
Shifter bushings I have new ones included
Occasional CEL there is a vaccum leak somewhere that I haven't had time to track down... very random and only will flash then Is off for weeks. Idle is sometimes bouncing so definitely a vaccum leak but very small as I haven't found it.
Tiny oil leak from corner of valve cover as one stud broke off during head replacement... only noticeable if climbing a hill for a long time it will drip. Has not lost a spec of oil on dipstick in 3500 miles.
Rear driver window doesn't go up or down, could just be the switch haven't had time to investigate, all others work perfectly.
This engine is STRONG. I was amazed.
Bill of sale only didn't come with title obviously way to old to be required anyways.
