Mileage: 210000

Please view all pics and video carefully. We have done our very best to offer you complete transparency.

This car is perfectly optioned for a fun sporty ride and tons of driving enjoyment. It was previously owned by the mechanic who serviced it almost since new. It has over 200K Miles although you would hardly know from looking at it or inspecting it. This car runs and drives beautifully and we have complete confidence in it.

The body shows really nice given the mileage and only sports a few blemishes. Based on our digital paint gage we believe the car is in its original paint. We know that all panels are original and coded to the vin of the car. The car is straight as an arrow and shows no signs of prior impacts or accidents that would require body repair. The underside is solid and supports that it was garage kept and not driven in the winters. There is some superficial rust on the forward sections of the pinch welds below the fenders as you can see in the photos. We note some small chips and creases which we have show in the pictures and video. There is a small area of surface rust on the moonroof which was touched up. The lights and grills and trim all show consistently with the car and function correctly. The glass appears original and shows very nicely. There are 2 small chips in the windshield but no cracks.

Inside you will find a clean and tidy cockpit free from any unpleasant smells or stains. We note that the Sport Seat leathers are in need to recovering and currently reside under some cloth covers. The M steering wheel provides great purchase while plowing through corners. The carpets are nice and clean as is the headliner, door panels and dash. The backseat looks unused. The radio is functioning and the onboard computer works but the analog lights are dim. We note that the heat works fine and the AC system is charged but it does have a bad AC Clutch (per precious owner). The Dash cluster itself was replaced at 208k Miles sometime last year (we have original cluster). The replacement cluster has a functional Speedometer and Fuel indicator however the tach,odometer and temp gage are not functioning at the moment. We do note the Check Engine light is on. Overall the interior is quite impressive and doesnt show the mileage.

Under the hood sits the original 2.5L M20 Engine. It has been religiously serviced by its original owner. It idles nicely and runs smooth. It has the normal light ticking consistent with this engine however the prior owner informed us or a recent valve lash adjustment. We don't notice any smoking and we have been told that it doesn't burn oil. Overall it runs really strong and makes excellent power when directed through the limited slip differential. The clutch feels great and the shifting of the 5 speed feels correct. Braking is nice and straight. The car tracks nice and straight and is free of any unwanted suspension noises. The car is everything you want a E30 325is to be, especially when driving it.
