Fresh Purchase - 1991 325i Convertible

[DavidV]

Definitely nice color combo. BTW we spoke on your Reddit post. Car was from Tracy and you drove it back to Austin, Texas.

Me too. I was another potential buyer of this car in the SF Bay Area and also reached out to him on Reddit.

Hey Henizwhoa,

It’s a small community for sure! Thanks for the compliment. The project is almost done. Doing brakes today (bleed, pads and master cylinder) then have to take care of a vacuum leak and this car will drive like it’s brand new. Will post new photos once everything is one. The pup and I went for a 100 mile top down drive last night. Got so many thumbs up. It was 87 and humid with only stars above our heads - it was beautiful. And raising the roof electrically at a stop light was the cherry on top!

I’d love to see pics of your ‘93!

Back in the day they didnt have cups so no holders needed. Thats the fustrating part of owning a oldtimer. And to find something thats suits with the age and interior is quite hard even if these days they make about everything you could ever wish for. But still that cupholder looks funny. Thats probably home made ? But i bet it does the job ?

Congrats! Sounds like a fun project. Good luck and keep us posted on how the build goes!

Anytime I see a Mauritius Blue e30, I think of this car. Its such a nice deep blue and super uncommon. Congrats on the purchase, I think 9k is actually a great price for how clean it looks.

Very nice. I had an e36 325ic in Mauritius that I did an OE+ restore on. The color really pops with some paint correction.

Thanks for the compliments! The car is definitely a time capsule. It came with all the factory literature. If these don’t make you feel nostalgic and inspired about the E30 then I don’t know what will:

- Accessory Booklet: The most useful part of the accessory booklet is the glossary section which lists part numbers for them and which cars can get what accessories.

- SmartCare for Anso IV BMW Carpet booklet- never seen the carpet care pamphlet before and love how silly something so trivial can create a sense of ownership pride. The stain removing instructions are also useful not just for the carpet!!

- Radio and CD Changer pamphlets and manuals - The car originally came with the CD changer but that was removed along with the Alpine head unit. The code for the OBC and radio is still illustrated in the books.

- Car Manual, Service Manual, Service Location Booklet and Warranty Booklet- The service manual even has all of the inspections and oil service fields filled out.

what an awesome find! so hard to find something not stuffed with. AND you got the best seats!

Very nice example of a timeless e30 vert!
Great History! Thats what one wants. Someone who is meticulous with the maintenance and upkeep! Not some youngster who's main intent is to do parking lot burnouts with his baseball hat on backwards. Unfortunately the e30 caught the eye of the younger generation as the "hip" vehicle to own and the vehicles can be treated poorly as a result.
No offense to those youngsters that actually have pride of ownership and intend to cherish thier e30's

You should absolutely reach out to the lawyer gal and let her know how much you appreciate her dedication and admiration for the vehicle.

Prices for well sorted and excellent condition e30's are only going up as the scarcity increases. Ive seen very few (only 3-4) in my city.
