Medical bills force sale of my 1988 convertible. I am still trying to pay off my cancer treatment bills.

For sale, 1988 BMW 325i Convertible. I have owned about 13 years and have put about 38k miles on it in that time. It has about 132k miles on it now. It has mostly been a fair-weather car and always parked in the garage. I have probably put less than a 1000 miles on it in the last two years and it is ready to roll.

This car runs and drives like a dream. The motor is strong, runs a Mark D 91 octane chip for added horsepower and performance. It actually gives better gas mileage on the freeway. I added a Strömung catback exhaust, which I can't say enough good things about. Quiet and unassuming at idle, nice sound in the middle, and screams a bit at the top end. No rasp. This a very expensive all stainless tuned exhaust.

For the suspension, it has Bilstein struts and H&R Sport springs. (I have the original springs if desired) It has 18-inch wheels on H&R spacers. The tires are in great shape. I have had the suspension for a while, but there is not a lot of miles on it. The fenders are rolled and the tires fit in there nicely.

It has original Startec smoked tails imported from Europe. I also added the Zender rear spoiler with 3rd brake light. The finish line flag on the driver's front is an emblem set and could be taken off if desired.
The body is in pretty good shape, nice shine. A few little door dings, but nothing too bad. The interior is a fair shape. The carpets and panels are all in pretty good shape. The Black leather interior is definitely worn, but still comfortable. The convertible top itself is in great shape, except for the rear window. The top is in great shape and could be repaired. I just never used it.

I am asking $4500 At that price, I have some things I can throw in with it.

I am a couple hours north of Seattle in case you are wondering. PM me if you interested. I will send the VIN if anyone wants it. It has a clean title.

Sorry, it is the OEM top. It is in good shape. The liner could be replaced again, but it pretty easy even though no one could tell the liner was missing if it was. These sell for $1500-$2000 at the end of the summer.
