    87 325is 5sp 45k miles MINT!

    You are looking at an extremely clean original 1987 BMW 325IS 5 speed. This car was a garage kept weekend driver by the original owner for 20 years. I have all of the original paperwork and manuals as well as extensive dealer maintenance records for all work done over the last 20 years. The car is so original it still has cosmoline on the engine and the Factory Recommended Break-in Sticker is still on the inside of the driver's side of the windshield!

    Interior is immaculate! The carpet and headliner are very nice and clean. The leather seats show no signs cracking. The dash is also in excellent condition.

    Exterior is excellent! The paint is very nice and the factory BBS basket weave wheels have no curb rash.

    Most Recent Maintence includes: Timing Belt , Cam Seals and Gasket, AC Compressor, Brake Pads, at 35,746 miles. Radiator, Water Pump, Fan Clutch, All Hoses & All Belts at 36,999 miles. All Fluids and Filters Changed, Valves Adjusted, Tuneup, & Cat-back Exhaust System at 37,200miles. The tires are about 80% and the air-conditioner is ice cold!

    I bought this car earlier this year with the intentions of building a BMW E30 Spec Racer but the car is too nice for me to dismantle! I have since found a more acceptable "donor" for a racecar and would like to sell this car to an enthusiast who will appreciate the quality of this car. I have a clean and clear title in hand.

    Please Note: According to the previous owner and the confirming documentation I have, the odometer stopped working April 2004 at 36,999. The car was driven approximately 5,000 miles and the odometer was repaired in March 2006. The odometer now reads 40,483. This is why I have listed the mileage as 45,483.
    Also I can only find 2 SMALL dents in the car right above the driver side rear wheel. They are small enough that I could not get pictures of them, but thought I should inform people.

    Asking 11K OBO All offers welcome.

      I doubt it, but it is a possibility.

                Very impressive. I wish it were two years newer though! I know I know, plastic bumpers are an easy retrofit - but why mess with such a low mileage example?
                .

                    The belt was replaced in 2003.

                            Clean car man, but you'll never get $11,000 for it. Its just not a desirable model.

                            If it were a M-Technic II convertible, or some rare greymarket e30... likely... but not a 87 325iS.

                              And how many people said/thought the same thing when you sold your car?


                              NO, I'm not comparing your old E30 to this car, but I disagree with your blanket statements about it. To some people it's a VERY desirable car, and clean examples like this are becoming VERY hard to find.


                              Good luck with the sale.
