Description of 1988 BMW 3-Series

I am selling my 1988 BMW 325i. This car has a clean PA title but it is currently located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.The car was originally purchased in the DC area and was owned by one family until I purchased it a little over two years ago. I purchased the car with about 100k miles and I performed about $2k worth of preventative maintenance because I was using it as my daily driver.

Interior:

Seats are in very good condition but there are rips on the top of the rear seats (see photos). The headliner has a few rips (see photos). The dashboard has cracks (see photos). All of the electronics are fully functional including the sunroof and 9-button OBC. The blower motor works but it is a little noisy because the securing strap is loose and needs replaced.

Exterior:

Original 14" bottle cap wheels with 50% thread tires.

There are a few dents and dings. (see photos).

The car is rust free.

Paint is all original and there are few blemishes overall but the clear coat still shows well.
