Description 1988 BMW 3-Series M TECHNIC
1988 BMW 325M Mtechnic factory car.
This is a really nice example of a stock low mileage BMW M tech
car. It is very rare to find any of
these cars in a clean shape, low kilometers and Left hand drive. This beautiful BMW has only 131000 kmts= 81900
miles.
The car started life as an automatic therefore the low kmts
and the nice and clean state all around. When I imported the car from Japan it
was grade 3.5B. the car was resprayed in Japan, but it was done right. There
are no traces of previous accidents, not a single spec of rust in the car, no dents, and no scratches. The
car is being driven often and the paint is not a garage queen perfect but a
good quality 9/10. The Mtech kit is all original and in good shape, all the inner-fenders and underneath plastic covers are present and not cracked. Tail lights
and in good order as well as windows and trim.
As I mentioned before, the car was auto, and I had it changed
to manual. The transmission came from a insurance write off donor car with only
188k kmts. New Sacks clutch kit and new
shift gear kit washers from Pelican. At the same time I changed; both front bearings, brake pads, inner and
outer tie rods, bilsteins OEM shocks, and a reconditioned rack and pinion were
fitted. The car drives excellent and it has plenty of power and good
acceleration. The throttle is responsive and suspension feels tight. The car
has stock high, front tires have a small tire wall (195-45-16) compare with
the rears(205-55-16) but all tires are almost new. It has Schnitzer 16 inch
wheels in good shape, stock LSD. There are no leaks and The timing belt was replaced at
102K kmts. I will give all these records to the new owner.
The interior is clean clean to the BMW OEM mats. no cracks
in the dash and door panels in excellent shape. The headliner is black like
e30 M3’s , so there are no weird stains of loose parts. Sunroof, locks, illuminated shift knob, and windows
works as they should. A/C and heater works. All lights and electronics are properly
working. The Mtechnic front seats were recovered in gray color similar but not
the same texture as the rears, they look
great and if I don’t tell people wouldn’t realize the difference.
All in, a great example of a driven BMW. I have had a few classic cars and I can tell
this is a great opportunity into getting a car that will go up in value in short
time and not much to do other than drive and enjoy. As I mentioned before this
is not a garage queen, keep in mind this is a 28 year old car so here are the points that require attention or just for
FYI:
-There is a coin size paint defect on the passenger fender,
where it meets the bumper (it was retouched and hard to spot)
-The car has a aftermarket radio, I would prefer OEM radio
but I will leave that up to the next
owner
-This car was not equipped with a cruise control from factory, but who needs one when
you can shift up and down in this beauty?
-Headlight wipers are not functional.
-Scratches in the front bib.
