I have personally owned this E30 since 9/21/21. I am the second owner of the car. When I purchased it from the gentleman, he had the original BMW title. It shows 175,003 miles on the odo that is WORKING. I have personally drove the car 1965 miles since I have owned it with no issues. I have had the car in a climite controlled garage since ownership.
Car is completely stock other than it has been lowering on Bilstein shocks with H&R springs. The previous owner said he had just installed them before having kids. Then the car sat in the garage for a few years before I purchased it. The paint is Bronzit Beige Metallic. I believe the paint to be original as the clear coat shows some issue, but there is no evidence of respray anywhere. There is a scratch on the rear bumper center and the rear right corner by turn signal. There is also a scratch on the passenger mirror. All of these are pretty consistent with the age of this vehicle. The body is straight and free of rust. The front lip has been painted, and it is slightly different in color than the Bronzit Beige Metallic.
The interior is very nice for it’s age. There are no cracks in the dashboard. The bolster on the inside of the driver seat shows wear. The seats are manual and not heated. The rear seats are in excellent condition, almost appear never sat in. The radio is not working, it’s a pretty common issue. The AC is working and it will blow cold. I usually have to top it off once or twice a year to keep it cold. The trunk is clean, has the battery relocated in it, a full tool kit, and the jack and tire bar. The spare tire is missing.
All electronics and windows are working good. It has the desirable manual pop-out windows in the rear. There are no lights or check engine on the dash. The car has never overheated or run hot. It runs great even on the hottest of summer days. The car shifts into all gears, including reverse, with no issues.
Other notes: There is a tear in the front driver floorboard carpet. There is a stain in the rear passenger floor. There is a small stain on the decklid rear in between radio speakers on carpet. The shift knob and boot are original and show wear.
I hate to see it go, but I have too many cars and other inspirations. In my opinion this is one of the nicer, original, not molested examples that has come to market recently. The car is titled and insured currently in my name. I have never had the car smogged, as we don’t do emissions here.
I am willing to ship the vehicle at the buyers expense.
I reserve the right to end my listing at any time.
The car is sold as is with no warranty expressed.
Please don't bid unless you are serious. Have the funds, I don't make loans or do financing.
