1990 BMW e30 325I ‘M SPORT OPTION’ with GETRAG 5spd GEARBOX Sold October 1990 by Brisbane BMW, I am the 3rd owner from new and purchased the vehicle in December 2003. M Sport Options included Fawn fabric Recaro front seats, leather steering wheel and gear knob, sports Bilstein suspension. Vehicle was rust proofed from new by BMW, is registered and comes with a Road Worthy Certificate. In the last 18 months, $4,500 spend on NEW • Rear main oil seal, clutch/pressure plate/throw out bearing, gearbox extension housing oil seal • Cam belt and tensioner, fresh coolant as radiator has to be removed • Oil filter body seal service kit • 325i ABS brake master cylinder (fresh brake fluid) • OEM steering rack remanufactured with new steering coupling • 325i Febi front strut roller tops, sway bar D bushes, wheel alignment. • 4 x Kuhmo 195/65/14 tyres • Penrite HPR40 25/70 weight oil and filter, air filter and OEM HVAC Blower Motor Resistor • Replica RHD black sun visors w/mirror (L&R), OEM antenna to body weather seal, odometer cog replaced • OEM exhaust header heat shields, rectangular three prong male plug for late oil level engine sensor All suspension bushes, track arms, wheel bearings replaced during the time I have owned the vehicle, and near new Bilstein B6 sport rear dampers + top rubber mounts. Sale includes original front air dam and rear spoiler, log books and keys (flat type and built in light type), BMW new vehicle sales details/options printout from 2009 and folder containing twenty years of receipts, When I purchased the vehicle in 2003 it included a dash mat, genuine BMW front floor mats (protected by after market floor mats over the top) and sheep skin seat covers which have never been removed, window tinting. Leather steering wheel cover added in about 2010 to protect the original steering wheel as I could see how rare and expensive they were becoming. Steering wheel was in near perfect condition at that time, and the gear knob has near new leather cover and genuine BMW centre badge. The air conditioning system is complete but has not been maintain as the effect on engine power was very draining when on, and as an example made the vehicle difficult to accelerate from a standing start up a hill i.e had to use a lot of accelerator to slowly pull away.
