Up for sale is my 1989 BMW 325is 5-speed coupe. I‘ve had it since 2000, and am the third owner. Selling because I just don’t drive it much anymore. It was my daily driver until 2013, and then it was stored in a heated garage.
It has about 200k miles, although the odometer stopped working. This E30 has lots of extras, upgrades, and hard to find Euro parts which are detailed below. It is very reliable, and a blast to drive. I ran it through DEQ about a week ago, and have the certificate to include with sale. Clean Oregon title in hand.
SOLD Cash only. No trades.
