The BMW 325i Cabriolet is one of the most beloved open BMW models of the 1980s. It features a smooth 2.5-liter six-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive, and a manual gearbox, offering an authentic and comfortable driving experience. The car retains its original appearance with visible signs of use and has undergone an older professional restoration.
First registered on February 17, 1988, this example has been mechanically well maintained, with many parts replaced over the years. The bodywork is original and in good condition, with some signs of use and a loose lower left front wing. The paint has been repainted, and the underside remains original and honest. The tires are in good condition but worn, with front tires showing more wear and rear tires replaced in 2023.
The soft top is in good condition despite heavy signs of use, and the carpets have local damage. The lower dashboard cover on the driver’s side is missing, and parts of the center console are absent but included in the trunk. The chassis number is original and clearly readable, located in the windshield gutter.
The engine bay is in good, honest condition, with the hood insulation missing but a new one included. The engine has had an older restoration and runs well. The timing belt was replaced in 2023, and the fluids and maintenance are up to date, including a new water pump, thermostat, temperature sensor, radiator, viscous coupling, hoses, spark plugs, rotor, distributor cap, fuel filter, and fuel lines. The engine oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant have been recently replaced.
The battery is in good condition, and the clutch, gearbox, brakes, handbrake, and lighting systems work properly. The electrical system is functional, with the horn, wipers, and heating working, although the dashboard and odometer are not operational. The suspension and axles are in good condition.
Recent work includes new stabilizer bars, engine mounts, steering rack bushing, fuel pump, brake discs and pads with wear indicators, and master and slave cylinders. The car has also received a new water pump, thermostat, temperature sensor, radiator, hoses, timing belts, spark plugs, rotor, distributor cap, hoses, gaskets, fuel filter, valve cover, and gasket.
