I am selling my 89 E30 325ix. 

The car has 114,000 miles and is in exceptional condition for 25 years old. You will not find many cleaner E30s, especially with low miles like this. This car appreciates in value every day. I have upgraded the sound system to Alpine w/ Bluetooth, and swapped the original 4-spoke steering wheel with an '89 E30 M3 3-spoke wheel, however, I have the original parts, which will come with the car.

This car is exceedingly rare, and to find one like this, with no rust and low miles, is a bit like finding a unicorn. 

Here are the production numbers for this car in the United States by year:

1988: 310 sold
1989: 844 sold
1990: 699 sold
1991: 454 sold

As you can see, it's rare; you'll have 1 of 844 E30 325ix BMWs in the country...not too bad. Do a search for one, you'll be lucky to find more than a couple at any one time on craigslist or eBay. This has been my daily driver for the past year and it is unreal in the snow...unstoppable. Read the reviews—if you're reading this, you know. 

It wouldn't take much to make this a show car, but it's definitely not there—it is a daily driver, an exceptionally clean driver, but a driver nonetheless. Do not expect a garage queen, concours-type car. 


In the past year I have done the following:

New Timing belt
New Water pump
New cat-back exhaust (OEM stock)
New Bilstein HD shocks & struts (F&R)
New HR Springs w/ alignment (lowers the car by about 1.4"), rides beautifully...
New strut mounts front and rear
New front driveshaft
New front windshield
New Big O tires (all season radials, great in snow)
New Alpine stereo w/ Bluetooth phone connectivity and remote
New breather hoses
New Aux fan resistor
New idle control valve hose
New coolant sensor
New Bosch wipers
New ball joints
New Alpina floor mats
New 30% window tint all around

The interior is in excellent condition. There are a couple of small cracks on the dash (see photos, very common), but nothing major. The front driver's seat has a small seam that is slowly coming apart, but it can be sewn back easily. Apart from these, the interior is perfect. No tears in the headliner, carpets are perfect, Alpina floor mats are new. 

The exterior is in very good shape. There are some spots where the paint is starting to crack a bit, especially noticeable on the trunk lid (see photo). I priced out having the deck lid painted, and it's about $500. There is some fading on the passenger side lower skirt as well (see photo). Otherwise, for 25 years old, the paint is in pretty good shape. The hood was repainted in DiamondSchwartz metallic by the previous owner and looks new. 

Mechanically, the car is sound. Never gets hot, AC blows cold, heater is perfect. Cruise control works, fog lights work, blinkers work, computer works, everything works as it should. I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country tomorrow...or wait until it snows, even better!!

Horsepower/Torque: 168 bhp (125kW) @ 5800rpm / 164 ft/lb (222Nm) @ 4300rpm (redline 6700 RPM, rev limiter rpm) 


THIS CAR WILL SELL QUICKLY AND IT'S LISTED LOCALLY IN BOULDER, COLORADO WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW 25 YEARS AGO. DON'T LET THIS ONE SLIP BY...

There's no substitution for BMW's E30 Mmmmm3

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

If you told someone that you had a friend with a four-cylinder BMW who "would let me wash the car," and in exchange for the privilege then let you drive that clean BMW once around the block, your first question would probably be "What kind of BMW is this?" There's a chance you wouldn't be surprised once you found out the coupe in question was the E30 M3, a car our own Zach Bowman dubbed the "Mmmmm3."
Petrolicious talks to Gabor Mester about the car he fell in love with, a black version of the original "Munich mauler" that was owned by the parents of a high-school friend - oh, and Mester was also in high school when this washing and driving took place. When the original owners were ready to sell, Mestor was ready to buy, and he hasn't had a single regret about it since.
You can enjoy his story in his words in the video below.

2014 BMW X5

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Is Better Than Ever Still Good Enough?
By now, all but the staunchest of traditionalists have moved past the shock and horror of seeing their favorite automotive brands branching into categories and segments that break with their previously accepted norms. In other words, you and I don't really care all that much if the BMW M3 is powered by an inline six or a V8, or whether it boasts a turbocharger, just so long as the end result is an awesome car. Similarly, we don't get all hot under the collar seeing that same M3 share space on the showroom floor with a brace of SUVs and crossovers... or, as BMW continues to insist, Sports Activity Vehicles.
Time, as they say, heals all wounds, and the BMW X5 has been around long enough, having first seen the light of day in 1999, that anyone offended by its existence has since gotten over it. Plus, the X5 is a legitimately nice vehicle to drive, offering such desirable qualities to family men and women as seating for up to seven, all-wheel drive and a commandingly tall view of the road. For the enthusiast set, the X5 serves up a taut chassis and powerful engine options.

X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

BMW managed to eke ahead of Audi for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.
