I have a 1988 E30 325is coupe 5spd. First ill start by saying this car is not the greatest cosmetically so if that is what you are looking for, this car isn’t for you. This is my weekend driver, occasional DD, and some track time car. The odometer works and has around 236k. Has TONS of new parts and throughout my ownership has been upgraded with intent to run SPEC E30. Since I’ve owned this car about 3 years ago many parts replaced with genuine BMW and installed by BMW master tech(me).
This car has power steering delete plate on the steering rack,no cruise control, ABS removed, No radio or speakers, no air conditioning,( compressor, evaporator, lines outside the firewall removed). Electric fan conversion that is wired to the snow flake button. The interior is not the greatest shape with different colors and a carpet that had been cut for stereo installs at some point. The car has been painted at some point before I bought it and has some spots peeling along with a couple of rust areas. The windshield has cracks coming down from the rear view mirror and window tint is poor. the exhaust is also loud for a DD.
I know its extreme difficult to price such cars and they are only wanted by a select few. $5000 email me laxplayer713@yahoo.com matt Located in memphis TN
