1988 325i Bronzit 4 door Sedan - Automatic.
It seems to have been a lightly used driver that was garaged most of the time and has survived. 128,500 seemingly original miles. Great looking (from 20 feet) reliable driver with lots of new parts.
The good –
It has a newer (Spanish repro copy) head on it with new timing belt, water pump and hoses installed by Drive Gear Racing less than a year ago.
Lowered on H&R race springs and new shocks
Recent driveline refurb and tune up including new rear axles, 3.45 diff, center bearing, guibo, trans mounts, cap, rotor, and coil. Installed by Panzer Performance
It runs good albeit a little rough at idle.
A/C works great
Automatic works great
No cracks in dash
Full leather "comfort" interior including leather head rests front and rear. Normal wear. Factory premium sound speakers
Cruise works
Door locks work
All windows work
Sunroof works
US Elipsoids works surprisingly well.
Issues -
Requisite oil leaks for a 31 year old E30
It came from the Philadelphia area so it has a little rust on the lower fenders - No structural rust nor none around the sunroof or window frames.
ABS doesn't work
Radio does not work – OBC does not work – interior lights don't work. There is a short in this circuit.
Headliner is just fair
Paint is a little rough on hood and driver's side. A few dings and dents.
Front valence is busted up from hitting a raccoon - I have another one that goes with the car.
I put the spec springs, shocks, and Konigs with brand new RA1s on recently. I bought the car with 14" weaves and would want to sell that way. I could be talked out of the Konigs for more money.
Price $4,200 on the 14" weaves with the new valence included (not installed). $5,200 as it sits with Konigs and RA1s.
