‘88 325i vert - San Diego
Clean title, recent smog (09/28), CA registered, new 15” BBS RS rep wheels with new Falken tires. This car is ready to be daily driven, or a good base for a performance build as it drives like it did in 1988.
This is the ultimate unmolested driving machine. Crisp handling coupled with driver-oriented ergonomics and timeless looks make this Cabriolet a joy for a California cruise or to sit in traffic with ease because of the automatic transmission. This classic 1988 E30 BMW 325i Convertible with 152K miles is symphonic throughout the rev-range and idles like a purring kitten. The car has a very desirable color combination featuring Lachssilber Metallic paint over Crimson red leather sport interior including Crimson red carpet and Recaro Sport seats. Interior is in amazing condition 9/10 and has Sony head-unit with single disk, aux/Iphone cable, perforated leather wrapped steering wheel with red stitching and one of the cleanest Genuine Husco Armrests (with cupholders) you’ll ever find. Has fully functioning interior electronics including power windows, heated seats, 13 button OBC, gauges, instrument panels, etc. Previous owner had the transmission gone through and it shifts fast and smooth like factory.
