    1988 325is lachsilber/black manual, ~175k in NYC

    SOLD

    1988 BMW 325is
    Salmon Silver/Black interior
    ~175k miles
    Clear Mississippi title
    Manual Transmission
    Located in New York City
    I'm posting on behalf of the owner, who's not as much of an E30 head as I am; contact gasparagus at yahoo dot com to see the car.

    Complete photo set here:
    http://flickr.com/gp/nonsensebird/W0544G




    Nice, reliable, solid classic E30 BMW that has spent its life in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Mississippi. True sport package 325is with sports seats, sunroof and factory limited slip differential. Documented service history since 2001 and no major accidents. I'm the second owner of this car (from 68k miles in 2001 to 2006). Selling because current owner recently relocated to NYC two weeks ago from Mississippi and no longer needs a car.

    Sold as mileage unknown -- odometer stopped in late 2008 at 170k (documented through service records).

    Suspension
    - E30 M3 springs, Bilstein HD shocks and struts
    - E30 M3 offset control arm bushings

    Three owners, stack of service records back to 2001
    - Timing belt in 2009, less than 5k miles ago
    - Recent rear brakes
    - Major service in December 2006 at E30 specialist Vintage Sports + Racing included new radiator, all cooling hoses
    - both lower control arms and front wheel bearings replaced in 2003-4.

    Body
    Mostly original; no major accidents. Passenger side fender replaced after fender bender in 2003.
    Small area of clearcoat peeling on the roof.
    Surface rust on driver's side fender and driver's side rocker panel painted with POR15 in 2005; hasn't spread.
    Inside of trunk lid and trunk given quick rust repair at VSR in 2006.

    Needs:
    - A/C system complete but weak
    - aftermarket Blaupunkt stereo inoperative
    - stitching on driver's side seat bolster

                            Inside of trunk lid and trunk given quick rust repair at VSR in 2006.
                            The trunk doesn't really look repaired and it also appears there is more rust under the driver side taillight. Too bad, seems like it would make a solid starting point otherwise.

                              I think it's pretty solid, but it's not a rust-free car. The pics are there so no one's time gets wasted and to be up front about where the issues lie. Happy to entertain offers!
