    FS: IL: 1990 BMW 325i Convertible, Orig. Owner EDIT $(No Longer for sale- Car Kept)

    No Accidents-- Clean title in hand, Autocheck provided
    No Rust-- Underside Pristine
    Engine Bay Spotless
    Triple Black- Most desirable color package
    Classic E30 Bodystyle, 1990 model also was the first 325i to have airbag
    2.5L inline 6-cylinder engine
    Automatic transmission
    Full Paperwork: Original 1990 Delivery Receipt, Detailed Major-Services History

    Non-Smoker
    Just had oil & filter change

    New Tires
    New Front Suspension (Control Arms, Bushings, Ball Joints, Endlinks-- all top-of-the-line Lemfoerder parts)

    Original owner family looking to get this classic BMW e30 to a good home. Fully transparent seller with every detail on this car, title in hand, available now. Car has never had one problem and I would not hesitate to drive it cross-country. Excellent running and handling vehicle with a great sounding engine.

    Car is currently garaged in the near West Suburbs of Chicago (Downers Grove) but can also be seen in the City by appointment (Wicker Park).

    Possible delivery as well!


    Thanks! Joe

    Fantastic car, but you are not going to get that much for an automatic, especially with top down season being pretty much over.

      Well, with all the beautiful convertible weather we're having here in Chicago right now, someone local might be much more inclined to drop a pretty penny on such a clean BMW! GLWS!

        Single owner with service history and as clean as it is. This thing will sell just fine. GLWS. looks like one of the last clean original cars.

            Yeah man, a one owner e30 cabby is certainly worth that. If you don't sell it this fall, you'll certainly sell it in the spring. Glws.

                ain't that the truth and with this one it would be a hard decision to tamper with the originality by swapping it IMO.

                  Very clean. It must have lived its life in the garage because I see none of that Chicago rust on it. Where exactly are you located in Chicago? From the pics I am guessing one of the Chicagoland suburbs?

                    Phillip drop me a PM - I'm in Wheaton and have a neighbor that's expressed strong interest in a clean E30 vert. Haven't talked to them about your car yet though.

                      All the too bad it's an auto comments - if you were seriously interested you wouldn't care. A 5 speed swap is cake and definitely reversible in a car like this.

                            Very clean! But honestly being automatic and the diving board bumpers is pretty high in price!

                              I get all those comments, but it is what it is: a really great example from an original owner who has 100% of the car's history and no rust. Car is bulletproof.

                              More than willing to consider any informed offers; as mentioned before, I'm happy to ascribe values to every pro and con for what we would feel is the most accurate deal.

                              This is a very awesome car, a far safer opportunity than any of the cars where you arent quite sure what the odo ever read, or what the history really is. You get what you pay for.
