1987 BMW 325isWBAAA1304H234195
68,031 miles
Exterior:
- Overall paint is in great shape. Glossy on all panels, but could still use a professional cleaning/correction. Headlights/taillights in perfect shape. Moldings/trim/emblems in perfect shape.
- Very minimal blemishes, if any, on most panels. Some very faint dings, but nothing you can see without specifically looking
- Only area on car worth mentioning that has questionable paint would be the area under the headlights (photo 2018_02_09 12.06.33) where the paint does appear streaked. I did not attempt to clean any part of the car so this may be residue from someone previously attempting to treat the plastics on the diving boards and just leaving too much on the paint. It's unlike any other area on the car.
- Front valance has cracked paint on both driver and passenger side. I would consider this the only blemish on the entire car cosmetically.
- All 4 wheels are in great condition, tires in great shape with plenty of tread
- All VIN tags are accounted for and match
Underside:
- Zero rust. I absolutely can not find a single problem area underneath this car or any of the important areas that rust out on e30s. Pinch welds, battery box, rear bumper strut area, rockers, etc...nothing.
- Rear diff does have traces of a leak from the rear cover and passenger side axle. Its not wet and doesn't seem to be an immediate concern, but wouldn't hurt to eventually pull the diff for a service/reseal.
- Rear suspension in good shape, bushings look OE and in decent shape
- Exhaust has surface rust, no leaks - in good shape
- Transmission has evidence of a slight leak on the case. Fill/drain plugs need to be pulled, cleaned, and resealed.
- Trans mounts look new - OE rubber
- Engine oil pan leaking in areas
- Oil filter housing has slight leak.
- Front suspension in good shape, no issues to report
- Engine mounts look new - OE rubber
Interior:
- As close to perfect as you're going to get for a car with 68k miles. Driver's seat has very minimal wear on outer bolster, rear seat is in great shape.
- Crack free dash
- All gauges work, including the CHECK panel
- Carpet in good shape front and rear, slight discoloration under pass. floor mat which I think is from the rubber backing and would come clean with minimal cleaning.
- Trunk area in perfect shape, battery area and spare tire well in great shape.
- Tool kit is intact except for the sunroof/window tool.
Engine bay:
- All stock, great condition.
- Paint in engine bay in great condition as well
- All factory stickers are still in place
- Oxidation on valve cover, easily fixed.
