1988 BMW 325 Coupé

Well-maintained and Swedish-old E30 325 with good mileage.

A lovely little two-door sports sedan from BMW's second generation of the 3 series.

This car is equipped with BMW's highly regarded and reliable M20 engine that offers both good low-end grunt and rev-happy response providing an energetic driving experience. Plus, it sounds fantastic. On this model, the engine is coupled to an automatic gearbox which, of course, sends the power to the rear wheels via a multi-plate diff.

The demand for the E30 models has increased significantly in recent years and then the 325 with its slightly larger straight six-cylinder engine is high on the list the appeal of a big engine in a small car is palpable.

The E30 generation of BMW's 3 Series is based on a robust construction that offers both simple mechanics and highly entertaining driving characteristics, making it a very popular enthusiast car. It can be used every day by those who want and there is a large aftermarket for spare parts.

This example is painted in a sober forest green color with a grey fabric interior and contemporary aluminum rims.

This car has sought-after options such as a multi-plate diff, heated seats, and an electric sunroof.
There is also a fitted towbar.
Shock absorbers from Koni and springs from Eibach

The interior consists of fabric upholstery, velour floor mats, and a leather steering wheel.

Interior: The interior in grey fabric is completely untouched and in good condition. There is a tear on the back of the headrest on the passenger seat and a tear on the door side at the rear left. The seller refers to the pictures in the gallery.

Exterior: The seller states that the car has been repainted, and the work appears to be well done but there are some small defects. These are shown in the image material. A small bubble at the passenger door lock. A little rust at the bottom of the inside passenger door. A little surface rust inside the rear fender in the wheel housing. A small scratch on the trunk lid. You can see that there have been small dents that were not completely leveled before varnishing. However, these are comments to get the car perfect. It presents itself well in its current condition and the seller frequently get praise for the nice condition despite the car's age.

Mechanics: Mechanically, the car is in very good condition. The engine runs silky smooth and it shifts as it should. It tracks fine on the road without noise with the exception of minor vibration at 90 km/h which is believed to come from the tires after a longer period of winter storage.
