1989 BMW 3-Series is

Hey everyone. p>The time has come to let my beloved E30 go due to unexpected addition to the family. so I have about 5 months to get myself into a totally different car. because there will be no baby barf happening in this one. I've put a lot of money and time into this car in the last two years of ownership. to create a nice. clean E30 with a few tasteful upgrades. otherwise kept the car original. so I'm hoping to see it end up in the right hands and pamper it the same way I have.

This is a true "is" model (AAA Vin). a good example of a Nice. Adult Owned. Unmolested. mostly ORIGINAL. NON-smoker. Solid. California Rust Free E30.

Clean and Clear Title. Pink Slip in hand. Tags are good 'til 04/17.

Passed Smog Check last spring with no issues (see photo).

​I have posted lots of photos to cover as many angles on this car as anyone can see. and a  few Videos to show how well it runs. plus the Working Odometer which seems to be a big deal on E30s these days.

​It originally came equipped with an automatic transmission. nbsp;however a 5 speed conversion was professionally done early this year by Castro's Motorsports.

The car was professionally painted a few months ago with the correct color codes for Lachssilber-Metallic.

All original body parts with VIN tags are intact (see photos) as well as the bumpers since I verified them upon respray.

Sunroof received a brand new OEM 1 piece seal after paint job. (see photos)

Front Seats just got reupholstered 3 months ago with the softest German Leather available.  They were also completely rebuilt. so they're fully functional.

The rear leather bench didn't need any attention. still in very good shape for its age.

The car's sitting on a set of very rare old school (built in 1989) 15" BBS-RD022 two tone rims matching the color of the car which makes me believe that they originally came with this vehicle.   The Center Caps are New. nbsp;real BBS made in Germany. (took me a year to find) and very expensive.   The wheels are wrapped with Yokohama tires in great shape with approx. 2000 miles on them.

The car drives. handles and brakes as it should (see videos).

Like I've mentioned above. have done some tasteful changes/upgrades like the Real Bosch Euro Smiley Headlights. Rear License Plate Filler. Rear Bench. also eliminated all chrome to give a 2 tone "Silver/Black" look.

The few issues with the car that I didn't get a chance to deal with since they were not that serious. are:Brake Lining Light (Front Left sensor/wire was cut). ABS Light (probably bad relay) does Not affect the braking. The Dash was perfect until a few months ago (couple of cracks-see photos).
