West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely stunning and exceptional example of this 1988 BMW 325i 2 Door Convertible with a low original 72K miles and an already collectible future 'Youngtimers' classic!
The BMW 325i Convertible is powered by a 2.5 inline six paired with a 4 speed automatic transmission and finished in its original 'Bronze Metallic' paint over 'Natural Bison' leather interior. The 2.5 liter M20 inline six engine features Bosch fuel injection factory rated at 168 horsepower and 164 lb-ft torque.
The BMW E30 is the second generation for the BMW 3 Series which was produced between 1982-94. In September 1985 the exterior and trim were updated. The 323i model was replaced with the 325i and a factory convertible entered the model range for the first time. In 1987 BMW introduced a major update to the E30 referred to as the Series 2. External changes included redesigned rear lights, front bumper, and a reduction in the amount of chrome trim. The rear was completely redesigned with new redesigned larger rear fenders and front fenders and front wings slightly inflated and wider in the end.
The four cylinder engine was upgraded from the BMW M10 to the BMW M40 and other mechanical changes were introduced as well as improved rust protection.
The car is equipped with 14" bottle cap wheels, heated front sports seats, fog lights, an onboard computer, cruise control, power windows, locks, side mirrors and air conditioning. The car is equipped with an independent suspension and power assisted four wheel disc brakes with vented front rotors.
The cabin features heated front sports seats and a rear bench seat upholstered in 'Natural Bison' leather. Please note that the original leather on the driver and passenger seats do now show some wear and patina.
