Description of 1985 BMW 3-Series

You are bidding on a 1985 BMW 325e (E30). Runs and drives great! Nice and smooth ride on freeway. 162K actual miles! Clean title! California registration expires 02/24/2018. Current California fee is $15. If sold out of state will not matter. If winning bidder is California buyer it will be sold with smog certificate!! Car is sold "AS IS' otherwise. Sold with LOW RESERVE!! Highest bidder gets car.
ENGINE:
Engine starts right up. Settles into a smooth idle. Throttle response is smooth! Pulls effortlessly all the way to 4500 rpm redline with no missing...no hesitation or misfire at all.
. .
TRANSMISSION:
Manual transmission shifts smoothly. No grinding or slipping. Good clutch. Shifter bushing is worn so the shifter is a little sloppy. Otherwise shifts great.
ELECTRICAL:
All lights, Power windows, Power Sunroof, instrument panel lights and gauges all work! Air Conditioning blows ice cold! Fan works on level 4 only. The A/C button has been pushed in, but still works. CD player works and sounds good. On board computer displays correctly and light up as well.
SUSPENSION:
Suspension is tight and rides great. Drives very well on the freeway. No shakes or weird vibrations from suspension.

BRAKES/TIRES:
Brakes have 70% remaining wear front and rear. No "Brake Shake". Rotors are not grooved. Vehicle stops straight and true. No pulling or wandering on braking. Tires are like new. About 90% tread left and are wearing evenly. No bad balance. Still has original wheels from factory. They are chrome.
BODY/PAINT:
Not original paint. Been repainted at some point. Got the car that way. Beautiful gloss. No rust except for lower rear tail light corner (see below). Please see photos below for examples of paint.
INTERIOR/TRIM:Seats are in ok condition. Tear on drivers seat only. For some reason cannot get them to fold forward to let passenger in back seat. Need to slide passenger side seat forward to squeeze in back. Dash does have cracks in it. See below.
