Hey guys,
I have up for sale a nice 1991 BMW E30 325ic. It is a pretty original car, and is a rarer plastic bumper convertible with leather interior.
Clean title
Smogged, new tags and ready for transfer
Good Points:
- Alpine White II on Indigo Blue leather
- Late model plastic bumpers
- Matching VINs on all panels except the driver side fender, which is a BMW replacement DOT-R stamped fender.
- Top recently replaced, in excellent shape and has been converted to a manual top.
- Interior in very good condition for its age. No cracks or tears in the front seats. One puncture on the rear seat bench side, and one tear in the stitching up top on the rear seats
- Clean uncracked dash
- All windows working
- New cat and exhaust
- Just performed engine tune up consisting of a new Continental timing belt and pulley, along with a coolant system flush, new water pump belt, spark plugs, oil change, valve cover breather hose, and intake boot.
- Paint is good around the car, except for the trunk lid, which the previous owner has painted in white primer. Not very noticeable until you get close, or someone points it out. It also has an "is" spoiler installed, and a new "i" lip.
Weak Points:
- Automatic transmission. Some people like an automatic, and cruising with an auto does suite a convertible very well, but the transmission itself is starting to lose reverse. It will not reverse up an incline. On a flat surface it will reverse fine, but the clutches will slip if it needs to push the car up an incline. A fairly common problem with these transmissions. Other than reverse, the transmission operates perfectly fine. I have a known perfectly good automatic transmission pulled from a running car that is included with the sale. If I swap it over myself, I will be raising the price on the car.
- A/C not working. The compressor comes on, makes no strange noises, but the system has no freon in it. Might only need a charge, might need a leak fixed - not sure.
- Antenna will not fully retract. It needs a new connector between the mast and the motor. The motor still runs fine, so should be a relatively easy fix - just never got around to it as the radio works fine.
I'm pricing the car fairly in light of the transmission swap needed. I've recently seen late model convertibles in mint condition with insane asking prices between $11-14k, so my old-school price seems fair to me.
