    1988 BMW 325is 5 speed, fully loaded, second owner, Socal

    Call me at 310.953.1141 to avoid PMing back and forth.

    So I'm finally seriously thinking about selling my car. I've had it for about 8 months and purchased it from the original owner in April of this year. He told me that he paid $39,000 for it in 1988. It has 152,000 miles and runs perfect, never even a hiccup.

    When I first bought it, I had my mechanic do all the major maintenance including water pump, thermostat, timing belt and all the seals that go along with that. I spent over $600.

    I also upgraded suspension to Vogtland springs and Bilstein Sport shocks and struts. We all know what that costs. I did a LOT of searching before purchasing this setup and finally decided on Vogtland. In my eyes (and my ass), it is the best balance of stance and daily driving. Handles like it's on rails.

    I also added a Mark D'sylva chip and man can you feel it. Not only did it get me more horsepower but I also saw a pretty significant jump in MPG. I currently get about 20 in the city and have gotten as high as 28 on 10 to Palm Springs.

    Now the car's not perfect. It is 20 years old. The paint is good but not great. The body is straight as an arrow with absolutely no rust. The interior is very clean with the exception of the driver's side bolster, as seen in the picture. Every gauge, light and even the OBD works.

    I painted the wheels with Duplicolor paint/clear coat. They're not perfect but clean.

    The only thing it needs is the brake master cylinder. The brakes go a little soft but still work fine. I've been talking to a few guys trying to pick one up on here for the past few weeks but getting no response.

    *I also have front and rear plastic bumpers that I can throw in for the right price.

    On to the pics...

    I want $3900 but will entertain very reasonable offers. Thanks!

      Yes, it's lachsilber metallic. The lighting just makes the color look different.

              I need to dump the E36.... I do think I will be getting a DB E30, though.

                            Same to you, man! See ya Friday.

                            And to Kilawin, I can't speak for the 318is but as for my 325is, it's a budget rocket in my eyes. I can't believe how much bang for your buck you actually get. I wouldn't be sad if she didn't sell, let's put it that way!

                            Have a Merry Christmas everyone! Give yourself a present, you know you deserve it ;)

                              Where are you in the 310 and what is your typical availability?

                              Thanks.

                              edit: see it on CL. I might be contacting you soon. By any chance are you ever in the Malibu / Santa Monica area?
