Classic original BMW E30 325i Convertible in great mechanical and cosmetic condition! Here are some highlights of this beautiful car's condition:California car all of it's life, I am the third owner. No rust or accidents. Not even a little.Everything works except for the power radio antennae. Everything. Power windows, power locks, original radio, trip computer, etc. etc. Original paint is shiny but the hood needs a wet sand to remove clear coat overspray. Body is straight everywhere. There are a few minor dings of course... but it's beautiful, just the way it looks in the pics!Includes nearly all service records since 1999. I'm just missing a couple of oil change receipts over the past year. Also includes all manuals and a "not original" service book (just not from this car).New timing belt, water pump, all water hoses and belts along with valve adjustment at 188,000 miles.Engine and Transmission perform like new. No leaks. No smoke. In fact the car drives like new. It uses less than a quart of oil per 3,000 miles. Compression is strong on all six cylinders. 0-60 is about 7.5 seconds, same as new. It gets 25MPG on the highway.New alternator and battery.New cross drilled and slotted rotors with new ceramic pads.Tires are ~50% tread remaining.Reasonably new convertible top, also exhaust.Includes car cover and tire chains.Includes four nearly new plush replacement floor mats from Bavarian Auto. OK there are a couple of things that are not perfect, here's what I can think of right now:The interior is not perfect. It looks good, as shown. The back seat is original so the vinyl is very hard and the seam came loose in the center. It's an easy repair. I purchased re-conditioned front seats and they are comfortable and work fine... center section is leather and original, so very hard, with the bolsters in soft vinyl. They were black. I used dupli-color dye to cover all of the seats plus door panels and it looks great, but needs a touch up every now and then. There is a full can of spray with the car.The LCD display in the trip computer is starting to fail slowly, the display is still legible but orange is showing at the bottom of the display.The dash is cracked and has a dash cap on it... but the dash cap is not secured and warped a little. It's OK but you might want to buy a new one and install it properly!Change oil light is on on the service indicator. If you know the E30 you will know that is a timed function and is re-set only by a BMW dealer, which no one uses for oil changes when we have to pay for them!! There are service light reset jigs you can buy here, another popular fix is to put electrical tape over it!The "coolant" light comes on, indicating a faulty sensor in the overflow tank. Again I've not bothered to repair it, the coolant level is not low.Original windshield (!) in pretty good shape. It has very minor pitting, not annoying, with two small chips and a slightly discolored circle around the rearview mirror mount where I sanded off old adhesive when the mirror came loose. The glove box lock does not work properly, needs to be replaced. It's locked, I have not been able to open it, and the passenger side sun visor is missing one of its two securing bolts so it's a little bit loose.AC system works but needs Freon recharge. It's the original R-12 system. I have two cans of coolant I'll throw in but I don't have the proper fill connector. Living in SF, I haven't bothered to find a shop to do it either. No disappointments, this is a beautiful original E30 325i. Ask any questions, I need to have the car paid for and picked up by August 15. Thanks and good luck bidding! Or take advantage of the very low Buy it Now price.On Aug-03-12 at 09:42:47 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to say that the top is manual. Operates fine of course, it's an easy and quick up or down. Also I'm answering questions and posting answers here, check below for updates. Thanks!On Aug-04-12 at 13:20:02 PDT, seller added the following information: Oh... to be clear... the seats are all the same color now... navy blue... looks great!!!!!
