1989 BMW 325iC

Notes

DetailsThis one-owner 1989 BMW 325i Convertible is the perfect blend of nostalgia and performance. It's well-dressed in the desirable combination of Royalblau Metallic paint, a new black soft top, and a beige leather interior. Underneath, it's driven by a powerful 2.5L inline-six paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Although this is a high-mileage car, it has been well-maintained and dealer-serviced throughout its lifetime. Modifications include a newer Kenwood Bluetooth/CD stereo and aftermarket Cragar wheels wrapped with new Kumho tires. It has undergone significant maintenance within the last two years including the replacement of the timing belt, alternator, convertible top, valve cover gaskets, and a recharge of the A/C system ensuring its continued reliability and performance. Please note the complete list of services and new parts below. A recent third-party inspection documents minor wear to the exterior and significant wear to the driver's seat, carpet, and trim as outlined below. The top is clean and was replaced in 2023. A CarFax report shows no accidents and registration in Alabama and Texas since 1995 and the benefits of the dry climate are evident in the clean, exterior and undercarriage. A discrepancy in mileage on the Carfax indicates the 227K miles on the odometer may not be actual miles. With some mending of the interior, there's no question that this classic convertible will continue to charm and excite drivers for years to come. This 325i is being sold as a Premium Listing on CLASSIC.COM and is located in Mansfield, TX.
