This 1988 BMW 325i (E30) is an Australian delivered example presented with its original service books and a history of fastidious ownership. It is powered by a 2.5 litre naturally aspirated M20 inline six producing 125 kW (168 hp), paired with a five-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. The odometer currently shows approximately 284,000 km* indicated.

The E30 generation 3 Series became one of BMW’s defining models of the 1980s, combining compact proportions, rear-wheel drive and a broad range of four and six-cylinder engines. The 325i sat at the upper end of the regular E30 range and used BMW’s 2.5 litre M20B25 inline six, offering a balance of performance and refinement that has made the model one of the more sought-after versions of the generation.

This example is fitted with slotted brake discs and ceramic pads, a purple-tag steering rack and a stainless steel sports exhaust and catalytic converter system. The car otherwise retains a largely period-style presentation.

The current owner has had the BMW for almost two years and describes its previous owners as fastidious. Servicing has been carried out by an independent specialist, with minor oil servicing also completed by the current owner. The original service books remain with the vehicle.

The seller describes the exterior and interior as displaying minimal wear and tear for the vehicle’s age. The coolant-level sensor is currently faulty.

Included with the vehicle are its original service books.
