I'd normally never place a high dollar ad here, I know you all would tear me apart! I will trade for a nice 2002 to replace mine ) ;



Zinnaberrot 1989 325is VIN WBAAA2306K4259416

This car is a one owner car with 74k original miles on it. It was professionally maintained at BMW until its warranty was up, then maintained by a reputable independent shop in Washington D.C. At no point has this car been neglected or without proper maintenance. I have all the receipts from day one to prove it's history.

The suspension is solid with no shakes or shimmies at speed or while braking. The shocks are fresh.

The engine runs as it should and has all of it's power. It idles well and does not leak or burn any fluids. It runs at operating temperature even with the AC running. The timing belt has been replaced within the past few years.

The automatic transmission shifts as it should and does not leak any fluid.

The interior is in excellent condition. The back seat is near perfect, as is the passenger seat. The drivers seat has some cracking on the bolster but is in good condition otherwise. The manual seats operate as they should. The dash is crack free and was always shaded from the sun. The carpeting is in good condition with no big stains or fading.

The paint is in excellent condition with no door dings or dents. The only damage to the paint are small scratches or blemishes. There is no evidence of body damage or rust. The cars records indicate there was paint work done to the passenger side of the car, which I confirmed with a paint meter. The paint used was of good quality and is difficult to distinguish from the OEM paint. There is a white scratch on the front bumper passenger side.

The wheels are in excellent condition, only one has minor curb rash. The tires are Sumitomo Srixon4's and they have plenty of useful life left. There are 2 emblems missing in the pictures, I have replaced them with new.

The systems in the car all work properly including the windows, sunroof, OBC, HVAC, central locking system, wipers, spray, lighting and mirrors. The AC blows cold and uses R-12 refrigerant.

Since the car is a 325is, it has the Recaro style sport seats, the three spoke Motorsports wheel, shadowlined window trim and lockstrips, sport suspension, front air dam with brake cooling ducts and deck lid spoiler. In addition to these things, the car has 14 inch basketweave wheels, body color mirrors, ellipsoid style headlights and world bumpers, a nice alternative to BMW's "diving board" style bumpers from the 70's and 80's.

The car is located in Richmond, VA at my shop near the international airport. Test drives are welcome and encouraged.

Asking $9,400 obo.

Note, I have all the parts to make the car a five speed. For an additional $600, I will do this. I felt it fair to offer the car as an automatic first, in case someone was specifically looking for one in this price range.

For the same reason a nice rust free low miles 2002 with all the goodies will fetch $14,000?
