Original non M3 Rustfree E30 325 slick top Touring with factory AC unique offer

Description for BMW 3-Series 1988

This is a very rare example of the legendary 325 Touring, as it comes with no sunroof and factory air condition. Sunroofs often cause major rust damage as hollow spaces get damp. However, this E30 comes along with no rust at all and no rust repairs ever done to it. This is extremely rare and takes plenty of time, luck and knowledge to find. Accident free.
I bought this 2 years ago in Switzerland. Last owner before me had it since 1997. Mileage is287k kilometers (~178k miles), engine is said to be completely rebuilt only 10k km ago. The roadworthiness certificates are consistent and prove that the Touring was hardly used at all the last 15 years, hence the fantastic body condition. It was brought to the US for a holiday and a planned sale afterwards, however we unfortunately had to cancel the trip after Covid kept the family terribly busy.

The inline-six always starts right up, purrs, drives and stops just like any car of a few years age and very well taken care of. It also drives backwards at least as good as the Plymouth Belvedere in Robert de Niro's 'A Bronx Tale'. :-).

Plenty of new parts: Radiator, timing belt & water pump, battery, almost everything on brakes, tires. Classic MIM 1900 wheels have new paint. Salmon silver is very noble in most light conditions and not be confused with sterling.

This Touring drives with no noises at all inside or out. The only thing that rattles is the cassette holder when empty. No liquids dripping or spraying anywhere. You can certainly drive this Touring anywhere today with no headache, as it is technically pristine. Air condition blows cold.

Electric driver seat. Tempomat. Four power windows. Power locks. Antilock brakes.

Clean South Dakota title and of course all import charges paid. I do not make any assumptions on CA carb or smog, please talk to an expert for this.

While you do not feel the mileage in driving, it does show a bit inside. Please expect some wear. Headliner needs to be redone. Wear also on paint here and there. Left rear lens has a crack.

Automatic can be swapped rather easily to stick shift and was kind and smooth to the drive train and the body in all these years. I can send parts.

Make no mistake please, E30s went up by 50% the last year or so in Germany. Only a dozen with factory AC on the market in whole Europe now.The E30 is like the old VW Westy a very friendly car that puts a smile on everyone's face, original examples will not stop going up. Good choice during inflation, ;-).

Cash at pickup or as agreed upon PRIOR to clicking buy it now, please. Non paying bidders will receive a feedback.
