AI Listing Summary
This 1988 BMW 325is E30 coupe, finished in Alpine White with a Cardinal Red interior, features a desirable 5-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It has been modified with a Miller MAF conversion, Work Equip wheels, and a strut tower brace, but also presents several mechanical and cosmetic issues that will require attention from the next owner.
Condition
5
The car has several cosmetic and mechanical issues that require attention. Notable issues include dry-rotted front brake hoses, rusted rear brake lines, an inoperable odometer, a malfunctioning coolant temperature gauge, a dash dimmer stuck on high, and a non-functioning left turn indicator. The air conditioning compressor has been removed, and the power windows operate intermittently or slowly. The driver's seat shows wear, and there are blemishes on the dashboard. The seller also recommends replacing the timing belt due to age, and there are noted leaks from the oil filter housing and camshaft seal.
