Up for sale is my 1989 BMW 325i coupe. I recently picked up a VW MKIV GTI and no longer have need for this car. I’ve owned the car for about 2.5 years. I bought it from a member on [R3vlimited.com](http://R3vlimited.com), Chris Langsten (UNHCLL), in April 2009. Prior to this car, I owned an '87 325e for 6 years. It has been driven year round, through summer and upstate NY winters. There is a bit of surface rust on the body panels that you will see in the photos. The car has not been tracked or auto-crossed. The tires are on their second summer of use. I usually change from snows to summers in April and then back again in November. I have never been stuck nor had issues with snow. The radio is a JVC KDG-300. The OEM BMW tape deck is included in the sale. The speakers are upgraded from stock (Polk Audio up front, Infinity in back). The dashboard is crack-free! Details: ~172,000 miles -5-speed (formerly auto, swapped by previous owner) -Schwarz Black, with Indigo Blue sport interior Upgrades: -Bilstein Sport shocks -E30 M3 springs -2.93 LSD -Stromung cat-back exhaust -IS Front and rear lips -Euro bumper trim -Euro grills -Smoked turn signals -Clutch stop -M-color stitched shift/ebrake boots Maintenance within the last 20k miles: -Timing belt -Water pump -Radiator hoses -New coolant -V-belts -Spark plugs -Distributor cap/rotor -New brake fluid -RF control arm + bushing Parts included, but not installed: -LF control arm + bushing -Front brake pads + sensor -Front sway bar links -Snow tires on steel wheel ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0642Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0642Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0643Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0643Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0641Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0641Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0644Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0644Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0646Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0646Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0647Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0647Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0650Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0650Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0651Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0651Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0655Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0655Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0657Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0657Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0654Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0654Custom.jpg) ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0656Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0656Custom.jpg) Tool kit mostly there ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0659Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0659Custom.jpg) Snow tires ![http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0658Custom.jpg](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/supersedan/E30%20FS/Resized/100_0658Custom.jpg) Pics of engine will be coming tomorrow (needs to be cleaned). What needs attention: -Driveshaft - This is the #1 problem. It needs a new driveshaft. Changing the guibo and center bearing has not solved this problem, so I had a shop confirm that the driveshaft u-joints are toast. Driveline Services of Portland would be your best bet for getting a re-manufactured unit (or junkyard). -Front brake pads need to be changed (included in sale) -Car only locks from passenger’s side door -Seats need covers -Surface rust is beginning to show through near the taillights, and bubbles are forming on the leading edge of the hood -The front valence could use a respray -OBC has the usual “wavy screen” problem Asking price: $SOLD Feel free to PM me any questions. -Joel ---

> [@Coldaccord](#): > > curious why you’d go from an e30 to a mkiv I wanted something more modern now that I have my first real job after college and can afford more than a 22 year old BMW. The MKIV was one of the better options in my price range. It’s an '04 1.8t with 52k miles. PMs replied, thanks. ---
