Description of 1988 BMW 3-Series IX

1988 BMW 325ix 2 door coupe. 5speed manual. all wheel drive. This BMW has been a project of mine. and is nearly complete. Right now the car is an excellent daily driver. runs great. drives even better. Mechanically the car is excellent. The E30 has had a repaint. still in the Zinnoberrot Red. The engine is a rebuilt 2. 5 with REAL super ETA pistons and crank. Block and internals have approximately 120k miles. new rings and seals. The head had 110k on it when installed. The odometer is broken. and stopped at 140k. The rebuilt engine and car have around 8k miles. so approximate mileage on the bimmer is somewhere around 150k. Engine pulls hard. This is an 88 IX. and they came pretty well loaded up from the factory. Sport seats. M steering wheel. 13 button computer. power moonroof. power windows. select temp . ime ect from the steering wheel. rear spoiler. Here is a list of everything new on the car. New starterNew clutch (bmw)New shifter bushingsNew rear main sealNew output shaft sealNew water pumpNew timing chainNew master cylinderNew rear driveshaftNew front control armsNew tie rodsNew control arm bushingsNew bilstein HD front strutsNew H&R springsNew headlight bulbsNew custom fabbed stainless cat-back with magnaflow stainless muffler. Sounds awesome. New shift bootNew guibosAll new fluids. diff. tranny etc. New clutch slave and master cylinderNew front spoilerDash is crack free!New front CV boots and new greaseProbably a bunch I am forgetting. recently put around 4k into the car. What the car needs to be perfect. this is a list of things I just havent had the time to get to! New or reupholstered front seats. It has the factory sport seats. The drivers has been dyed red then re-dyed black. It is ugly. I would buy a kit. Glove box latch replacedGo ahead and get some Bilstein rear shocks. Odometer repaired. the coolant gauge sometimes dances around. Blower motor replaced. works but not good. Valve adjustmentRadio speaker wiring finished. only one speaker hooked up. The P/O left incomplete. Rear speakers are missing. Factory covers are there. radio power antenna replaced. No worky. Rear spoiler repainted. I painted it black because paint was peeling. Front drivers fog broken. and fogs do not work. A/C compressor replaced. Has a few hail dings on roof and hood. Barely noticable. Panel below the dash on the drivers side is missing. I would replace the heater core. it is not leaking. but I'm sure it is original and is bound to go eventually anyway. rear lower valance rust repaired. The car is not "rusty" by any means. but not rust free either. Pics tell the story. The carfax report shows a previous "fender bender" It was repaired of course. and I honestly cannot see any evidence of the repair. Shows multiple owners and a repossession that really effect the score. That sucks. The proof is in the pudding. so come and drive the car in person and you won't be disappointed. I have many spare parts. door cards. extra seats. another oil pan. all kinds of goodies that go with the car. Overall the car is very fun to drive. handles excellent. awd works perfect and has had all the IX issues addressed. driveshaft splines on the front look great. jack test performed etc. My goal was to put the car back into a solid stock looking BMW with a few performance upgrades. The winner of this auction will be getting a good example of a neat rare E30. that can be driven daily. Any question? More pics? PLEASE contact me and ask. I have nothing to hide. I want the buyer to know exactly what they are buying! You are welcome to come see the car and test drive if you wish before the auction ends. I am located in central Indiana. Contact me if you want my phone number it will be easier to explain everything on the phone. Thanks!
