FS: E30, 1989 BMW 325i, Philly, Blk/Blk, 5 speed, 140k, $1000

[cxp]

For sale:
1989 BMW 325i


Black exterior
Black interior
Documented history for last three years
Currently up to date on all maintenance, see below
5 speed, no issues
Engine runs good, no issues
140k on odometer
Timing belt replaced 2.5 yrs/20k ago


Issues:


Car was in low speed parking lot accident a year ago. Passenger door was damaged and needed to be replaced. I replaced the door door myself, and the replacement is poorly painted and misaligned. I don't think it would be worth it to have this professionally repaired. The current door is functional and doesn't look too bad, but don't expect a show car.
Exterior has numerous dents, scratches, and bruises. Again, don't expect a show car.
Air conditioner compressor was removed by previous owner. I do not have it.
Radio antenna is broken. Replaced with cheap Pep Boys antenna. Reception is poor.

Highlights:


Clean title.
Clean car. Pictures below speak for themselves. Interior is absurdly clean, and there is little to no rust on the exterior.
Maintenance and repairs were mostly performed by Bavarian Specialties in King of Prussia, PA. I have around $3k in paperwork spread across the last 3 years. I basically told Mike Yaskin at Bavarian Specialties to fix whatever he found that was broken.
From the receipts: New exhaust, master cylinder, timing belt, air intake boot, various fuel hoses, exhaust hangers and hardware, right tie rod end, front lower control arm bushings, front sway bar links, rear upper shock mounts, lower oil pan gasket, transmission shaft seal, output shaft seal, and shifter/linkage parts.
I did a good amount of work on the car myself. Various oil changes, new fuel pump, new fuel filter, new brakes.
Newer all season Yokohama Avid tires on car, including new spare. Tires have about 15k on them and will be good for a while.
Sony CD/MP3 player with aux input.

This is basically a good, clean E30 that I've been using as a daily driver for the last 3 years. Car runs and drives great. It's not perfect, but it's great for the price. Make it a daily driver, a really fun beater, a cheap track car, or the best parts car of all time.

[romoguy8]

Wow that looks really clean!!!

[Accord4tehloss]

Darn wish I were closer very nice!

[Mahoney197]

send me a pm, i will be at your house with cash tomorrow

[cxp]

Thanks for the compliments. Like I said above, don't expect a show car, but it runs good and is clean on the inside. Hopefully a local board member will pick this up and have some fun with it. I'm up to three cars now, and I need to let one go.

[M///BMW]

Wow great price..I wish i was local...

[Greenday2]

So is it still for sale? Im in NJ but im interested.

[Brandon12V]

dude are you serious? You could part this out for at LEAST 2500. insanely low price. Craziness.

[cxp]

Thanks for all the input. If I had the time, money, and room to keep it, I certainly would. The bottom line is that I picked up an E90 as a replacement last week and I don't need three cars. Mahoney197 is coming to pick it up tomorrow. I'll update the posting when the car is sold.

[e36bmdub]
