    Clean E30's are getting harder and harder to find these days. With the youngest examples being 23 years old at this point its no secret why. Most have been used, abused, and left for dead by now. This car spent most of its life out in California and has covered just 113,000 miles. Yes that is a genuine odometer reading, the gears are original and intact.

    The exterior is Brilliantrot (Brilliant Red) over a Natur vinyl interior. The exterior shows no signs of body damage, or paint repairs. The car does have an assortment of door dings and the like which you would expect a 25 year old car to have. The interior is near spotlessly clean from the carpet to the seats to the uncracked dash and consoles. The seats are in great shape with no cracking or tearing.

    Wrapping up the car is a brand new black convertible top and crystal clear rear window. It opens/closes manually without issue and does not leak rainwater. The trunk is water tight as well, which is a common convertible ailment.

    The air conditioning system has been retrofit to R134a and works as it should.

    Recently serviced/replaced parts:
    OEM Behr Radiator
    OEM Behr Expansion Tank
    OEM Sachs Clutch Kit
    BOSCH Battery
    Front & Rear Brake Pads & Rotors
    Convertible Top

    With few other exceptions everything else on this car is as it left the Regensburg, Germany production plant. Absolutely no aftermarket parts or accessories on the car with the exception of an old alarm system that appears non operational.

    This car is being offered by an avid classic BMW enthusiast. It drives quite nicely all things considered. This is an rare gem in its originality and condition. It is ready to roll as she sits or if a buyer prefer (at additional expense) all known wear items can be gone through to ensure the car is rock solid for years to come. I can offer parts & service on this vehicle at tremendously discounted rates.

                      Yes, he left it with me to sell as he doesn't have the time to do it.

                      I've had a bunch of people from Craigslist come look at the car, but no one with a reasonable offer yet. People thinking they can steal it for $3500 or $4k.

                      I have some wiggle room but not that much, this car is clean!

                        Impressive that the car has only been to wide open throttle six-hundred and twenty-eight times. Should make it easier to sell, right?
