        Ok, I'm going to regret this, don't know if you'd be interested in my car. 1989 BMW 325is cirrusblau metallic 93061 miles, a true IS with LSD. It's bone stock besides the Stagg shocks, Vogland springs, and 16" wheels. It has all the original body panels, crack free dash, perfect leather seats, and map light rear view mirror. It also comes with BMW first aid kit and BMW hazard triangle. It's always been a Texas car, not sure if it's a European delivery car. It consists side skirt and BBS rear spoiler....
        Wow that is a very unique car there. Cirrusblau was not one of the colors offered on the USA spec 325is, but was available on Euro and Australian sport models so it may very well was a Euro delivery car.

        The sideskirts look to be the OEM ones that came on some of the Euro and Australian E30s, then later were part of the Sport Package option for the '91 325i in the USA (often but incorrectly referred to here as "IS Sideskirts"). And Euro cars came with the Hazard Triangle kit but not with the USA cars.

        That car is fantastic ! I've never seen one like it until now. Gorgeous.

          That red '88 is really nice !

          FYI - When my immaculate white '89 325is got totalled (broadsided) i bought a white '88 325is and transferred the '89's plastic bumpers onto the '88. Aside from the different bumpers, there is no other difference that i could find between an '88 and '89 325is. Shouldn't be a deal breaker for that red '88.

            Agree, that is nice looking car.


            Ran the VIN. Looks like an "i" ordered with sport options.

              I think all 325is show up like that during decode. My former 325is shows up with the exact some build out just with different exterior color.

                Don't you have to chop the wiring harness to put the different connectors on for the turn signal lights?

                    I did the swap 19 years ago, but i don't remember having to cut the wiring. I seem to remember the lights were the same on one end of the car (maybe the rear?). But it wouldn't be a big deal to splice a few wires. My car is in eternal storage so i can't look at it ha ha.

                        After some Googling it looks like that is correct. I found some references to the S841A option as being the iS package.

                        Interesting the that car lists as a USA model and we didn't get Cirrus Blue with the iS package. Maybe an individual?

                          Owner says they're ESM wheels.

                          Don't know if they still manufacture that model, but here's a link to their website:

                            ESM isn’t a brand to jizz over (in regard to durability)
