1990 BMW 325is

Location: Mesa, Arizona

Why It’s Curated: This 1990 BMW 325is is for sale in Mesa, Arizona. We love e30s and owned an e30 M3. While that was a great car, it needed more torque. A 325 like this would solve that issue. This is also a 325is, that has been lowered on 17″ wheels and the stance is spot on. It has been an Arizona car and is rust free. Plus there has been a large amount of recent work and upgrades, see details below. For half the price of an e30 M3, this car might be more fun.

220k miles extensive repairs and modifications. Cluster shows 76k miles but can be re geared to the 220 if desired, this was swapped out in part of the cluster rebuild.

I purchased this car in Flagstaff - Before that the car was purchased in Tucson from I believe the second owner who drove the car literally until it failed and then proceeded to then park it for 15 years. Every suspension component and piece of running gear has seen some sort of attention. The car is lowered on h&r race springs, billstein shocks, adjustable camber plates and super rare racing dynamic sway bars with reinforcements. The car has a z4 manual steering rack swapped in.

The fuel tank was completely rusted and varnished so the entire fuel system has been replaced and the injectors cleaned. The drivetrain includes a new clutch driveshaft and axles as well as wheel bearings and motor, trans, and differential mounts.

The brake system has been completely flushed and replaced with stainless lines.
Brand new EBC rotors, EBC pads and resprayed calipers, etc.

The cooling system has been reworked with tons of new hoses, new thermostat and radiator.

Car still has factory LSD.
