    1988 325is Black on Black Manual e30 (bay area CA)

    1988 BMW 325IS
    5-speed manual
    Salvaged title -- UNKNOWN.
    Frame checked out and is currently straight. I have proof of the frame dimensions from a body shop.

    Despite salvaged title, all of the recent parts added are new and within the last 10 months. I have receipts of all the recent work completed.

    Engine -- All stock M20 motor, averages 25-27 MPG highway. Recently driven from L.A. 400+ miles with no problems!!! This car is very fun to drive!

    ODO - stuck at 138k but odo is broken so true mileage is unknown. Other gauges and warning lights still work.

    Car runs very strong and shifts very smooth, clutch grabs really well with no slippage.

    New items on the car in the last 10 months:
    Radiator
    Thermostat
    Radiator hoses
    Bilstein Sport Shocks
    Bavarian Auto-Sport high performance springs
    Tie Rod Ends
    Lower Control Arms
    Bushings
    Catalytic Converter
    Muffler
    New brake pads(needs new rotors)
    New air filter
    HID head lights
    Tires -- 400 miles
    Oil change
    Coolant flush
    o2 sensor
    Fresh oil change
    New spark plugs
    Intake boot
    Intake hoses
    Intake manifold gaskets(previously contained a bad idle but now fixed 1/31/14)

    Interior
    Front seats -- Ripped
    Rear seats -- no rips
    Dash -- multiple cracks
    Glove compartment - latch broken
    All seat belts work
    Alpine deck with AUX
    All windows and sunroof still work!

    Exterior
    Paint still shines, minor door dents around the car, no paint oxidation or fades, paint chips on rear lip spoiler. All lights and turn signals work.
    Driver side door can only be locked from passenger side and trunk

    Current needs:
    -accessory belts
    -timing belt
    -water pump
    -car needs to be smogged (buyer's expense), recently failed due to High HC & NOX at low speed 3/1/14(unlimited smog retests 3/31/14). I have no additional time to spend on this project. Was going to make a track car but new job has taken my free time. This car has potential and just needs a little bit more work to pass smog and be track ready or DD.
    -tags were due September 2013(car has been sitting with occasional warm ups and drive around block and with me spending little time replacing parts to pass smog)

    Asking 3k OBO

      The CL listing says $3200. Nowadays any car can be 'salvaged' for anything from a fender bender to a bumper that needs to be replaced and painted. Worth checking it and is good that you are disclosing.
      1997 328i - SOLD
      1991 325is - SOLD
      2002 325i - SOLD :(

                        I have no time to kill half a day. Find a cheap flight and go from there?
