Up for sale is my E30 BMW 325ix all wheel drive sedan. This car is gorgeous, and is going up in value each and every year. They only imported 2500 into the U.S. during their production, which makes them even more rare than an E30 M3. I hate to see this car go, but after returning to college I realized I don't even need a car at all, as it's wasteful to pay for insurance every month when I hardly drive it [considering everything is on campus]. When I do get to drive it, it is an exhilarating car. I love the raw feel of an E30, it has been so much more fun to drive than my previous E36. All the work on the car has either been done by myself or the master technician at BMW of Nashville. The title is clean and in my name. The odometer stopped working soon after I went on summer break last semester at 184,xxx, and I have put around 4,000 miles on it this summer. The goods:Paint is in great condition for being 23 years old.Car runs and drives GREAT.Comfort package: heated cloth seats. Leather/cloth door panels.4 speed auto was recently flushed and filled over the summer, and shifts smooth as butter. Engine pulls hard and strong, although the idle is a little choppy [I believe it to be a sticking idle control valve]. 170HP inline 6, Dinan Performance Chip installed.Rattler remote keyless entry, locking, and security/alarms.Interior is near flawless. Not a single crack in the dash.New UUC Moterwerks floormats.Recent audio overhaul: Pioneer DEH-6300UB high-end head unit [ http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/CD-Receivers/DEH-6300UB ], Rockford Fosgate Punch 5-1/4 Full Range Speakers in Front & RearThe transfer case has never given me a single problem and works perfectly.NEW DDM Tuning 5000k 9600 HID's in Hella Ellipsoid Projector headlights.Front Munich Euro Plate with real BMW Munich plate holder, stickers are not stamped/erased at all.Has a Bosch mass airflow sensor, which by my understanding would be an upgrade due to most E30's having been equipped with AFM's.The muffler was replaced by the PO and looks new and rust-free.*Does not leak or burn a single drop of oil, anywhere.*OBC works perfectly. No check engine lights.29 MPG highway.If there is a better car in the snow, I have yet to find one. BMW BBS 15" Wheels are guaranteed not to be bent in any way. Rides on BF Goodrich tires, 60+% tread remaining. Car rides great at any speed. Roughly a year ago [at 182,XXX miles], the previous owner performed the following maintenance. : -New battery -Timing belt -Water pump -Valve Cover Gasket -Gas tank w/ senders -Rear hard & soft brake lines -Rear guibo -Rear diff fluid -Trans fluid and filter [Which I have flushed & filled again since this time with Castrol ATF.] -Bosch MAF -Spark Plugs & new wires -Crankshaft position sensor The downs-Overall the car is mostly rust free for an '89, however there are a few spots. There is rust in the rear lower bumper area, which is the only main noticable area on the outside. The car will need a new left front strut mount before too long. These can be had for $27 shipped new.The power steering and A/C belts are off the car. I enjoyed driving her without PS, you can feel the road under you much better. I was told the A/C was working fine before the belt broke on the PO. Belts for each part are included.There is a tear in the driver's seat which has been patched with black gaffers tape.I live in Cookeville, TN, but will use a reputable auto transport service to get the car and title to you. Considering how much work I have between my Electrical Engineering major and my job, I have just about no free time during the day. Buyer is responsible for the cost of shipping, if you would like a quote feel free to message me!This is a RARE E30, and I'm sad to let it go but I have growing student loans to pay off and no real need for a car in college. I can't tell you all how many compliments I've gotten on this beauty. This would be a great daily driver for just about anyone. It needs a little bit of minor work here and there, but what 23 year old car doesn't. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message, and I can reply with my phone number and I will answer anything you need. Thank you,RichardOn Sep-22-12 at 12:35:03 PDT, seller added the following information:Hey everyone, just as an update to the listing I have added multiple new pictures of the interior, exterior, and engine bay. Hopefully this will give you all a better feel for the condition of the car, however if you would like me to take pictures of anything else just let me know and I will get it done. I forgot to add in the listing that the car will need a new 'flasher' relay for the turn signals. The relay died a few weeks back. It is not the stalk due to the fact that the hazards went out at the EXACT same time, and both the turn signals and hazards tie in to this flasher relay. Here is the relay that you will need: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E21-E23-E24-E28-E30-Turn-Signal-Hazard-Flasher-Relay-3-Prong-OEM-Brand-New-/150673525331?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2314d78a53&vxp=mtr **BONUS!!** Just as a little incentive, if the auction goes over $3,000.00 [Or Buy it Now] I will be including a brand new Infinity [Harman Kardon] Basslink powered subwoofer system. It truly ties the sound together in the car and is in no way overpowering. $200.00 value, fully wired and installed. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ZDOlKM0N89X/p_108BASSLIN/Infinity-BassLink.html If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me at 615-306-3037. I have EE classes during the week and may not be able to answer; if I do not leave me a voicemail with your name, number, and question and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks, and happy bidding! -RichardOn Sep-24-12 at 12:09:11 PDT, seller added the following information:Hey guys, I realized that due to the fact I had no reserve price set on the auction that the Buy it Now price has disappeared due to the first bid being placed. If anyone would like to make me an offer, feel free to call me on my cell number above ^. In addition, the car has been ran on Premium 93 octane gas for it's entire life. I know that's important to many of you. It currently has ~500 miles on Mobil 1 Premium Synthetic 10W-40 High Mileage oil. The transmission is filled with Castrol ATF, and OEM gaskets were installed with the flush & fill. Redline 75W-90 in the diffs. The spare wheel is also a 15" BBS weave, tire has good tread. NO rust in the spare wheel area, however there is a spot by the side of the battery vent. I think I've touched up on everything now, if not I'll add to the description when it hits me. Thanks for the interest guys, closing in on 1000 views already! Feeling the E30 love! Any questions, feel free to give me a shout. Thanks, Richard Horst
