Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1989 BMW 325i Convertible (E30) is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive model with a manual gearbox, presented in dark blue with M-Technic enhancements. It has been cherished by the vendor with documented significant spend in 2020, though it has seen little use in recent years.
Condition
7
The car is described as smartly presented and cosmetically enhanced with M-Technic bumpers and interior. A new soft top was installed two years ago. However, it has been fully painted at some point, and the speedometer unit was changed, suggesting some wear and tear and reconditioning. Overall solid condition with slight wear visible.
