1988 BMW 325i Convertible

This 1988 BMW 325i convertible remained under the care of its original owner and their family until being offered on BaT in August 2022, and it now shows 82k miles. Powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six linked to a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential, the car is finished in black over black leather. Equipment includes 14″ bottle cap alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, quad headlights, a power-operated black soft top, heated front sport seats, and a Pioneer stereo. Acquired in 2026 by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, this E30 convertible is offered with a window sticker, the owner’s manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.

The car is finished in Black (086) and is equipped with a black soft top that the selling dealer recommends replacing. The hood has been refinished.

The silver 14″ bottle cap alloy wheels are fitted with Falken tires that have 2022 date codes. Stopping is accomplished via ventilated front and solid rear disc brakes. The front control arms and bushings are said to have been replaced in September 2019, and the power steering hoses were replaced in 2023.

The cabin features heated front sport seats and a rear bench that were reupholstered in black leather in 2004 and 2005, respectively. Interior amenities include cruise control, an onboard computer, a Pioneer stereo, aftermarket trunk-mounted audio equipment, and power windows, locks, and side mirrors. The air conditioning system is not blowing cold.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames a speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 82k miles.

The 2.5-liter M20B25 inline-six features fuel injection. Under previous ownership, the crankshaft position sensor, ignition coil, accessory belts, battery, distributor cap and rotor, and spark plugs and wires were replaced.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The transmission pan gasket and shifter shaft seal were replaced in 2023.

The window sticker lists initial delivery to Novo Imports DBA-Misle Imports in Lincoln, Nebraska, as well as factory colors, equipment, and a total suggested retail price of $34,170.

The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
