1987 BMW 325i

Spring 2026 - Oil Change and Inspection at 88,750 Miles

This 1987 BMW 325i convertible is powered by a 2.5-liter M20 inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and finished in Cinnabar Red (138) with a Pearl Beige leather interior. It is equipped with a Pearl Beige soft top, fog lights, 14″ bottle cap wheels, air conditioning, front sport seats, rear bench upholstered in Pearl Beige leather, power windows, locks, side mirrors, fog lights, power radio antenna, and dual exhaust outlets. We acquired this 325i in 2021 and now shows 89,400 miles on a six-digit odometer (approximately 8,000 miles were added under our ownership), offered with an owner’s manual, supplementary literature, and a clean New York title in our (sellers) name. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and was factory rated at 168 horsepower and 164 lb-ft of torque. (Close-up photos of the exterior are provided in the gallery.) Rear shocks and brake pads, brake lines, and flush were completed in 2024. (Carfax included in photos.)

Answers to Questions:

(1) Why are you selling the car?
Selling to purchase an SUV to hold hockey equipment.

(2) The photos of the undercarriage appear to show no significant rust. Are there any rust issues elsewhere on the vehicle?
No rust issues we've noticed. (We hand wash the car.)

(3) Do all systems, switches, windows, and the like operate properly as designed?
Yes, we drive this car 80 miles a week from May to November. The driver's door key entry could use lubrication/attention.

(4) Does the AC work?
Update (July) - the AC stopped blowing cold during the heatwave. (We are unsure if the AC is still R12 or has it been converted to R134a.)

(5) Do you have a service history (receipts) for the vehicle?
We have not kept service records for the vehicle. Rear shocks and brake pads, brake lines, and flush were completed in 2024. Please drive the car to understand it's high value.

(6) Has the timing belt ever been replaced?
We have not replaced any belts. We purchased the car at 80,000 miles and assume belts we're done at 50,000 miles from previous ownership. Belts we do see look in great condition.

(7) Any cracks/tears in the dash, console or elsewhere not shown in the photos?
No cracks/tears we are aware of. This E30 325i is a high quality car that runs/drives excellent.

(8) Can the car be inspected on site, or presented to a local BMW shop for a PPI?
Yes, the car can be driven to a local BMW shop for PPI.
