    1993 BMW 325i E30 Convertible

    Located: Charleston, SC

    Price - $6900 OBO

    1993 BMW 325i E30 - M20 6 with 5 speed manual. Alpine white with indigo leather interior. - 151,000 original miles!

    -Large binder of past records from previous owner and myself. Work was done at Exclusively Bimmers, Total BMW and Mini, European Road and Racing etc. Has had timing belt/water pump, steering rack replaced in the past 20,000 miles. Car was originally ordered in New York living its life in California, Florida and Charleston. Was ordered with heated seats, premium stereo, LSD differential. Have original owners documents from the 90's with service records from Peter Pan BMW in California, order sheet etc. Was sold in 2009 by BMW of Sarasota.

    -All modifications are light, going for an OEM+ look. ESM wheels, Bosch Euro smiley headlights (crack on driver side), euro spec grills, euro smoked signals, IS front valence, Dinan Chip.


    In the past 1,500 miles I have put a ton of money with the thought of keeping it, but my original hunt for a 560sl has resurfaced.
    - 4 new Kumho Tires
    -New convertible top, frame, straps and seals
    -Complete reupholster of interior, shift boot and ebrake boot in M stitch.
    -Clutch, throwout bearing, all seals
    -A/C service, valve adjustment, plugs, wires, air filter, oil change,
    -New stereo
    -Replaced SI board with rebuilt unit
    -Paint polished and coated with Opticoat
    - Other minor cosmetic additions.

    At this price I am not looking to make money. I have a very organized binder of receipts and records as well as a Carfax. I also have a ton of parts to go with the car if the price is fair (KAmotors cold air intake, rebuilt and bench tested M50 Bosch injectors, 93+ Octane chip, M3 Springs, KYB Shocks/Struts, e90 drop hats, and more)

    Car is extremely clean and runs great. Very cold air conditioning, all electronics function. BMW carcover with carrying bag, sunshield to keep the interior crack free. Bentley and Haynes Manual

    Cons -
    -Crack in driver side smiley
    -Clean title but for full disclosure carfax shows an accident in June of 1995, all panels have vin tags and no signs of any repaint except the rear/ trunk lid. Also some bumping near exhaust (again shown in video)
    -OBC screen blurred (have euro clock)
    -minor chips (highlighted in videos)
    -valve cover weeping (did a bad job on reinstall after valve adjustment)
    -rear trunk lid was resprayed, absolutely impossible to tell unless you notice overspray on vin tag (done in 1995)
    -Could use an alignment (was going to install suspension, and then align)

    Only trades I would consider are for any older Mercedes especially a 560sl or 1983-1985 380sl with records, can add cash on my end.

        Good god, man! Where were you 3 months ago? I dream of getting my vert to look like this someday. Nicely done- buyer will get a nice deal on this.
