1987 BMW 325es (e30) 2-door coupe. 5 speed manual. White. ABS. Great condition. Excellent runner / driver, looks good but not a show queen. Professionally built, upgraded 325is engine (2006).

All original body panels - no wrecks (panel #'s match). CA and AZ car. No rust. No leaks. Mechanically excellent - this is a driver's car, not a fixer-upper. Just passed CA emissions - very clean result. Great daily driver or weekend fun / track car. (the car has not been tracked)
Rebuilt Engine only has about 30k miles on it. Many repairs and upgrades in last 6 years - see list below. Fun, great handling car with an extremely responsive engine.

- Short-Shift kit by Ireland Engineering
- M3 steering wheel
- power steering rack completely rebuilt (2011)

- Limited Slip Differential (LSD) 3.73
- M3 shift lever

High performance, fun car with excellent mechanicals. Very drivable around town.
Issues to be aware of:
- dash has typical SoCal/Az cracks. Looking into Palco DashTop hardcover
- car has A/C but A/C not working. A/C system was completely rebuilt but right after the compressor shaft seal failed. I considered taking out all the A/C components for potential track use but decided to just leave in and remove belt.
- radio antenna broken off
- small kink at bottom corner of LF fender, not very noticeable.
$6,500. I realize this is higher than what many are looking to spend on an e30. However, repairs of things like power steering racks, brake rebuilds, timing belts, water pumps, etc are usually needed by these cars of this age and add up to thousands of dollars. This is a very reliable car that has had all those problems fixed already, leaving you to be able to enjoy driving the car. Please call me at 602-692-8680 to discuss - I am sure we can work something out that makes sense for both of us. Thank you.
