    89 325i, MINT & Zero Rust

    **UPDATE**Interior pics a few posts below

    As the title states, I have a 1989 325i 4 door automatic with ~125,000 miles. It was a California car for 20 years, and made it's way to the east coast about 2 years ago. It has been kept up very well, and has been a reliable DD for me for the past 6 months or so. I commute 70 round trip daily, and have never had as much as a hiccup.

    I have service records for major maintenance dating back to original owner.

    It is mostly stock, with the following upgrades:

    Keyless entry with alarm
    Bilistein HD's with ~5k miles
    OEM springs with ~5k miles
    Bosch HID projectors with 5k bulbs, slim ballast
    Dinan Chip (have original also)
    Complete Tool Kit
    Battery is about a year old
    Laminex over the high beams
    IS lip
    M Tech 2 steering wheel
    M Tech 2 tunk spolier
    Sport Edition CD wheels with Yokohama Avid Envigor tires with about 5k miles
    Very rare becker mexico head unit w/ 10 disk changer
    MB Quart speakers all around
    Mercer tweeters
    4 ch Alpine amp rated at 75x4 RMS
    Remus Exhaust
    SS Brake lines
    Cat replaced ~5k miles ago
    Timing belt/water pump done in November, 2012 with documentation
    New plugs, wires, distributor within last 2k

    I'm not exaggerating when I say there is not a scratch, dent, ding or bit of rust on this car. It is in phenomenal shape. The interior is just as mint as the exterior, the only drawback is the leather on the steering wheel is a bit worn but no tears. You'll be hard pressed to find a mostly original e30 in this condition anywhere.

    I don't have any specific trades in mind, feel free to shoot me an offer. I'd definitely trade for a properly swapped e30, with cash on my end. I would ask that any car be reliable enough to be a worry free DD, and no convertibles.

    **Recent Maintenance**
    New headgasket with freshly rebuilt head was installed right after Christmas.


    Firm price: $7k

            I purchased the car from the guy who bought it from vlad.

            And yes, the front valence is just dirty. I gave it a nice cleaning a few weeks ago and foolishly didn't scrub hard enough on the valence. I will definitely clean the valence before selling the car.

              Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

                The pictures were taken in gowanus, but I live in Carroll Gardens. It's a bit of an e30 hotspot. There are a couple clean, albeit stock, e30s within a few blocks of my place.

                    I might be biased because I live there, but I really think it's the best neighborhood to live in Brooklyn, maybe even all of NYC. I got super lucky in finding an apartment, its a nice place right next to the train and I'm paying a good $400 less than what similar places are renting for nearby.

                    I'll keep an eye out for your car!

                          I'm almost considering on keeping it and saving up for a couple months so i can put a proper swap in. Only question is, m30 or s5x?
