AI Listing Summary
This 1990 BMW 325is coupe stands out with its S52 engine swap and five-speed manual transmission, a desirable combination for enthusiasts.

Condition

The car has undergone significant modifications, including an engine swap and a repaint. While the seller states the frame has been reinforced and it has upgraded suspension components, there are notes of mileage inconsistencies on the Carfax report, an inoperative check panel, and an illuminated inspection light. The car also cannot pass a California smog test, indicating potential underlying mechanical or emissions-related issues. The older tires also suggest some wear and potential need for replacement.
