Up for sale: 1990 325is, 196k miles. Car is listed locally for a bit more, but I'd rather see it go to an enthusiast, so I'm looking for around $4200 (negotiable).
Some of you old-timey SoCal'ers may remember me, my handle was HunterOfMonkies. This car has been my daily driver for the last 9 years and has served me well. It's tough to see it go, but it's time for me to move on (just bought a 993), and I don't have space for this one anymore.
This car is in great condition mechanically. No major accidents/damage, tracks perfectly straight, handles and runs very well. Lots of recent service (last 1k miles or so). OEM options include heated seats and ski pass-through, plus of course all the nice IS stuff like the sport seats. Full toolkit, too.
Recent service:
- New pads (all corners)
- New rear rotors (Brembo cross-drilled)
- Total refresh up front (tie rods/bushings, sway bar bushings, control arm bushings)
- New water pump
Modifications:
- H&R sport springs + Bilstein sport shocks (35-40k miles) (OEM [new] available)
- 4.10 LS differential (OEM available)
- Supersprint DTM exhaust (OEM available)
- Jim Conforti Chip 91 octane (OEM available)
- Breyton front spoiler, side skirts fiberglass replicas (OEM underneath [repairable bend])
- BBS RS replica wheels (OEM available [one slightly bent])
- Euro headlight grills (OEM available)
- Euro Hella shadowline elipsoids (OEM available)
The bad:
- Very slight oil leak. Maybe 1/2 quart in 2-3 months.
- Slight leak from steering rack. Requires topping off every 3 months.
- Original paint is thin/cracking on parts of the car (hood and roof) -- IMO it still shines up pretty well (see pics)
- Paint is damaged on driver's door from P/O's crappy bondo+paint dent repair
- Some small dings/dents here and there (see pics)
- Obligatory driver's seat wear (the rest of the leather is in good shape)
- Crack in dash
If you have any more questions, want more pics, or to come see/drive the car (located in Santa Barbara, CA), please drop me an email.
