    WTB 325 Coupe 5 Speed 7-8.5k

    Hey all. I've been lurking around here and across the internet (BaT, ebay, etc) looking for an e30 to get into for awhile. Background is American muscle but I've come around to wanting something that can actually turn.

    Needs to be a 2 door coupe and a 5 speed. Budget is up to $8500, which I don't think is unrealistic for what I'm after. Color is unimportant, but white or silver (or not red) are preferred. A clean red one like the recent bringatrailer sale would do the trick.

    Mileage is not too important to me as long as the car has been maintained and isn't totally clapped out. Would prefer to be able to get in and drive over having to put in a lot of work up front. Low to no rust is preferred, but I'm not looking for a show car.

    Would prefer the 325 over the 318.

    Any leads from y'all would be much appreciated. I'm in Cleveland but willing to travel and drive back (if car is capable) or pay for shipping (on top of the 7-8k budget).

    Thanks everyone who reached out to me. Closed a deal with collin380 on his beauty of a 325e and am VERY excited to be getting into my first e30.

      I am thinking about selling my 1989 BMW E30 325i

      Reason of selling?
      - Looking to buy a house around Dec for my birthday. Not in a rush to sell or need to sell in order to buy the house.

      5-speed *clean title*
      Original bronzit w/ black interior
      247,XXX indicate (will be going up gradually)

      * passed smog test (Jan 2020)
      * healthy engine, pulls strong and idles smoothly
      * all original paint and body panels (matching VINs)
      * no major accidents
      * original M20B25 engine, completely stock with Magnaflow muffler
      *original 5-speed manual transmission
      * complete interior, front seats 6/10 and back seats 9/10


      Services done by the previous owner (will show receipts) :
      - new timing belt, water pump and thermostat
      - new bosch spark plugs, cap and rotor
      - new valve cover gasket
      - new exhaust manifold gaskets with heat shields
      - new fuel filter
      - fresh oil and filter change (20w50)
      - cleaned and re-oiled K&N air filter

      Outstanding issues:
      - paint is showing its age, clearcoat is deteriorating
      - dents on front of the fender
      - AC system needs attention

      Last month (April) I took the car to get a bumper to bumper inspect at a very highly reputable BMW shop here in Los Angeles, The M Shop. I have a list that they provided me that will need attention (will provide document). As a 30+ year old car there are things that need to be done. I recently ordered motor mounts (2), transmission mounts (2), one wheel bearing, differential mounts, differential cover gasket, coolant hose, upper radiator hose, coolant hose thermostat to throttle body, engine oil filter O-ring, gasket ring. Have receipts.

      Asking $5,900
