    1990 325i Convertible 5-speed

    SOLD

    I have too many cars and need to get rid of some, so unfortunately this one has to go.

    1990 BMW 325i convertible with a rare 5-speed manual transmission. Myself as well as the previous owner are both BMWCCA members and e30 enthusiasts. E30's are getting harder to find especially in this condition and a nice 5-speed car is even more rare. I've owned the car for a couple of years and had my fun with it, now it's time to pass it on to someone else.

    The interior is VERY clean with the sport seats still soft crack-free (I think they have been re-done). Engine runs great, I just replaced the valve cover gasket and put a new cat-back exhaust and muffler on it. The top is in good condition, the previous owner replaced the rear window with a tinted version.

    The car sits nice and rides well with Bavarian Auto springs and Bilstein Sport shocks. It's probably about ready for new front control arm bushings but most e30's are and it's an easy job. The paint is in great shape but the body does have a few dents and someone keyed the trunk lid at some point.

    Good -
    Beautiful and rare color combo
    Interior is as good as you will find
    Rare euro front spoiler
    Euro analog clock
    Crack free dash
    Working odometer
    5-speed manual
    3.73 limited slip diff
    Strong running m20 6-cylinder
    Top is in good condition with a new tinted rear window
    16x7 Konig wheels with BBS RS centers
    New battery
    New muffler
    New valve cover gasket
    Bavarian auto springs
    Bilstein Sport shocks

    Bad -
    Body has some dents and trunk has a big scratch
    Control arm bushings are starting to feel soft
    Wipers sometimes don't work
    Rear diff bushing is getting weak and should be replaced (cheap and pretty easy repair)
    Top will leak above the windows in a hard rain storm

    I'm looking to get $4500 or best offer for the car I don't HAVE to sell it so please don't waste your time or mine. I love this car but I have an e30 M3 and just don't have the time for this one also.

    Hardtop is NOT included

          Dallas is a short drive from Conroe :)

          Top is good, rear window was replaced, no tears. Starting to shrink on the sides above the windows a little. Manual top, shocks for cover are shot but they always are.

                  I know it is sold....wondering what size tires you were running on the 16"x7" wheels? spacers?

                  thanks,
