Hi All,
Times are changing... the one I said I'd never sell!
A new owner for my BMW is required after 15 years with me, and 3 years before that with my friend. Details and lots of recent pics on my thread here:
retrorides.proboards.com/post/2731545/thread
- Unmodified, original, genuine 325i Sport manual MTech2.
- Original 2.5L M20 6 cyl engine (154k miles), 5 speed sport gearbox gearbox and LSD all still fitted, well maintained and healthy.
- Original sport interior with check control panel, black headlining, map lights in rear view mirror, electric tilt slide sunroof, electric windows, remote central locking, battery in the boot etc.
- Original 15in BBS wheels and centre caps still present with original locking wheel nuts.
- All service history from day one, two fobs, all locks use the same original key (several spare keys included).
- Dry stored in my garage since 2010 ish when I stopped using it much but regularly started up, moved around and maintained.
- Radiator and timing belt replaced last year, coolant changed, oil and filter etc. regularly changed in my ownership despite very little use.
- Full brake overhaul in 2017 and little use since (see thread linked above for photos of work done through the years).
The car doesn't have a current MOT, I last got it tested in 2017/18 but fires straight up, runs and drives well.
To get to excellent condition, it would need some remedial work to the rear sides of the boot floor, top of the back panel above the lights where the boot shuts, front jacking points and I'm sure elsewhere. There are a few rust blisters on the bonnet and sunroof but generally it's in very good condition for a 33 year old car that was so easy to lose control of as a young man - there can't be many left that have got to this age unscathed.
I would like a new owner to get more use out of it than I have recently. Pics all taken in the last few weeks, more on the thread linked above.
Includes various spares I've hoarded over the years (pics in my linked thread), manuals and indoor car cover. Also includes recently fitted genuine (£100+!) gear knob, it is lovely though... and £100+ worth of genuine gear linkage rebuild bits with receipt from BMW to tighten that up which was on my 'to do' list. Also a Z3 short shift rod included if you want to shorten the throw a little.
Note: you will need a trailer to collect due to no current MOT.
PM me if interested and I can pass on my email and phone number, take any further photos, videos etc. and send them over. It goes without saying that after 15 years of ownership I'm looking to pass this on to a genuine enthusiast to appreciate it so no silly offers and also no swaps thanks, I have enough other vehicles already!
Located in Cheshire, price - £20,000.
Cheers
Stu
