It completed very extensive maintenance with lots of new parts as detailed in the Mechanical section. This car has a clear title and is in Steubenville, Ohio

Exterior

This 325i has a sunroof and dual sport mirrors and underwent an extensive $8,000 exterior repaint in 2009. The wheels were also refinished, and powder coated. It has minor body damage on the passenger side front bumper and left front fender as shown in photos.

Interior

The light blue cloth interior is all original and was steam cleaned. All the gauges and power windows work. The driver’s side door card shows a tear in the vinyl and the front seats show some wear and splitting in the seat fabric from age.

Summary

This 1990 BMW 325i has completed extensive service and new OEM parts. It is all documented in 3 folders of maintenance records and receipts about 3-4 inches thick including photos, and original manuals since the car was new.
