    FS: 1990 E30 BMW 325is OHIO

    I am transferring to the Chicago office of the company I work for, so, I need to sell my car. Currently, it resides in Cincinnati, Ohio.

    1990 325is with 176000 miles on the odometer. I bought the car a year ago in the hopes of autocrossing, but, I was always to busy with work to ever make it to a race. All the upgrades that have been made only have 2-3000 miles on them because I rarely drove the car. Here is a list:

    Bilstein Sport struts with Eibach sport springs

    PRB brakes all around

    New controls arms with new ball joints

    M3 offset bushings (very important to chassis geometry)

    K&N Intake

    B&M Short shifter

    OEM cat-back exhaust (FAP)

    16" Konig GT-R wheels with Kumho tires

    15" Flik Blast wheels with Falken Azenis (Almost brand new)

    Momo Short Anatomic black leather shift knob

    Bride silver aluminum steering wheel mated to a Momo hub
    (have OEM BMW airbag steering wheel too)

    Shadow grill (original chrome kidney grill included too)

    H4 headlights & H1 high-beams (Euro-specification for this car)
    Highbeams are covered in french fog yellow Lamin-X

    Way old school Sony tape deck with CD changer in the trunk


    Overall mechanical condition is great. Car runs extremely well and everything works well. I had the valves adjusted and the coolant system flushed this year. New plugs were installed at the same time. Clutch feels good and transmission shifts well too. Always starts and runs at a proper temperature. AC will probably need to be charged when Summer comes and I will include a couple cans of charge.

    Cosmetically the car is average. There is no rust, but the paint has spent years going through automatic car washes. It looks good from 5 feet, but, isn't perfect up close. There are a few little door dings as well, but, nothing major. Drivers front fender has been resprayed, but, not fully. It looks as though the paint on the lip had chipped and that is why that area was resprayed.

    The interior has the factory leather Recaro sport seats and the driver's seat has the usual bolster rips. I had planned to get to all the cosmetics, including the rips, after the mechanicals were resolved, but, the transfer means it won't happen. There is a small crack in the dash as well (1.5") at the parcel tray. The driver's door lock tumbler is inoperable as well, but, that's a very common E30 thing. It could be fixed, or, the trunk tumbler unlocks all the doors too.

    Okay, I am moving to Chicago and we are only keeping one car. So, I need this car out of here by January.

    I am asking 3500.00 with both sets of wheels.

    I am totally losing at this price, but, I don't have a choice. This car has the hard stuff done already, so, it's perfect for someone to enjoy, or, take to the next level with a turbo, etc. An "is" is great too because it already comes with a factory LSD and other goodies.

    PM or post any questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks.

    These photos are a little older and I will take some new ones as soon as I can.

          It was parked on Delta. A friend of mine who lives over there was borrowing it while I was out of town.

                  I'll be over in the cincy area on Dec 26-28th, more specifically I'll be in West Chester, and over staying at the Hueston Woods lodge.

                    Thanks for all the interest guys. I will post up photos in the next few days and I should be in town over the holidays for anyone in the area. If you aren't Dave is being very nice with his offer to check it out and it would definitely be good to get a second opinion. Thanks again.

                      I am in pittsburgh and I am looking for this car. Would you be willing to meet 1/2 way to do the transaction? I work at a dealer and can use one of their plates so reg. will not be an issue.

                      Let me know.

                      Thanks.

                        Hey guys. It sounds like the car might be sold locally. I haven't seen the money though. If this doesn't go through, I will let everyone know. Thanks again for the interest and happy holidays.

                        And Alexd, I would totally meet you if the car doesn't sell. It's a good drive.
