We are pleased to represent this awesome 325is 5 Speed that we
recently purchased from only the second owner. Please view all pics
and video carefully. We have done our very best to offer you
complete transparency.
This car is perfectly optioned for a fun sporty ride and tons of
driving enjoyment. It was previously owned by the mechanic who
serviced it almost since new. It has over 200K Miles although you
would hardly know from looking at it or inspecting it. This car
runs and drives beautifully and we have complete confidence in
it.
The body shows really nice given the mileage and only sports a few
blemishes. Based on our digital paint gage we believe the car is in
its original paint. We know that all panels are original and coded
to the vin of the car. The car is straight as an arrow and shows no
signs of prior impacts or accidents that would require body repair.
The underside is solid and supports that it was garage kept and not
driven in the winters. There is some superficial rust on the
forward sections of the pinch welds below the fenders as you can
see in the photos. We note some small chips and creases which we
have show in the pictures and video. There is a small area of
surface rust on the moonroof which was touched up. The lights and
grills and trim all show consistently with the car and function
correctly. The glass appears original and shows very nicely. There
are 2 small chips in the windshield but no cracks.
Inside you will find a clean and tidy cockpit free from any
unpleasant smells or stains. We note that the Sport Seat leathers
are in need to recovering and currently reside under some cloth
covers. The M steering wheel provides great purchase while plowing
through corners. The carpets are nice and clean as is the
headliner, door panels and dash. The backseat looks unused. The
radio is functioning and the onboard computer works but the analog
lights are dim. We note that the heat works fine and the AC system
is charged but it does have a bad AC Clutch (per precious owner).
The Dash cluster itself was replaced at 208k Miles sometime last
year (we have original cluster). The replacement cluster has a
functional Speedometer and Fuel indicator however the tach,odometer
and temp gage are not functioning at the moment. We do note the
Check Engine light is on. Overall the interior is quite impressive
and doesnt show the mileage.
Under the hood sits the original 2.5L M20 Engine. It has been
religiously serviced by its original owner. It idles nicely and
runs smooth. It has the normal light ticking consistent with this
engine however the prior owner informed us or a recent valve lash
adjustment. We don't notice any smoking and we have been told that
it doesn't burn oil. Overall it runs really strong and makes
excellent power when directed through the limited slip
differential. The clutch feels great and the shifting of the 5
speed feels correct. Braking is nice and straight. The car tracks
nice and straight and is free of any unwanted suspension noises.
The car is everything you want a E30 325is to be, especially when
driving it.
