Exterior
This low mileage 325i looks great in metallic Diamantschwarz, one of our favourite BMW colours of the era. The paintwork remains in great condition with little more than a dusting of stone chips, one or two small marks, and a discreet blister low down on the driver’s side rear arch to report. Being a facelift car this one sports the later style body-coloured bumpers, again both in fine order. The lights are also clear and crack-free. The manual-folding soft-top is equally well presented, and without a complex electric/hydraulic mechanism to go wrong it will never fail to operate. The roof has always been folded away correctly and so the rear screen is undamaged.

Interior
The interior is trimmed in airy silver leather which is a great contrast to the paintwork. In line with the low mileage the front sports seats show only minimal wear to the bases and bolsters, and the rears are also clean with little evidence of use. The dashboard and centre console are unmarked and there are no cracks on top of the dash (a common E30 issue if left outside to bake in the sun). Even finer details such as the switchgear and steering wheel are really well presented, and in the footwells the pale carpets are well protected by a full set of mats.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The silky-smooth 2.5-litre straight six engine starts first turn of the key and idles up to temperature correctly. The engine bay retains a clean appearance with no signs of any damage or previous poor repair. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a 4-speed ‘switchable’ automatic transmission that functions well on test. The car was most recently serviced at 64,562 miles in December 2022.

About BMW
ChatGPT
Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.
In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.
The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.
As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.
Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.
In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.
Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
