Description
Great chance to own a very rare color and options combination BMW E30 Convertible. This car was originally bought in Germany in 1988 by a doctor whom later exported to GA. It was originally built to the U. S. standards (had big bumpers on it). but it did retain many really neat features such as:The BMW Support sticker is all in GermanFactory Euro grills (cover the headlight more)Has a "Catalyst Approved for Export" sticker in the door jambFactory (unopened) european first aid kit1980's Cellphone (not functioning)The color combination was the reason I bought it 4 years ago. Cardinal Red on White. nothing screams 80's louder than this. It is my all time favourite combo for a classic BMW. The instrument cluster says 115k miles. but the odometer gears were broken when I purchased the vehicle (odometer gears have been replaced. but actual mileage is higher). Overall the car in excellent shape for its age. however she does have minor flaws. I will list all the good and the bad for each aspect of the car. Exterior: Overall Excellent. Paint is only a few years old and is excellent (base coat/ clear coat)The only non-original body panel is the passenger fender (authentic BMW replacement)Side trim is excellent. but the trim on the European bumpers is faded Glass is in great condition. no acid rain spots at all. nbsp;windshield has the small nicks from road debrisConvertible top is only a few years old. very high quality. Top shocks have been replaced and everything functions perfectly (manual top)Convertible top does not leak unless it is a monsoon outsideEuropean bumper conversion (very rare)European Headlight trimFactory projector lights with HID bulbs Fog lights do not function and do have cracked lensesInterior: Overall great with minor flawsCrack free dashboard and panels!New red floor matsCardinal leather seats free of cracks or tears. but the driver seat leather is slightly different redAftermarket steering wheel on a MOMO hub. red and black themeSeat shocks (help the seat back move forward) need to be replaced but the seats function greatHeated seats do not seem to work. worked great during the winter time but wasn't heating much last month when I drove herStains on the carpet. needs to be redyed in order to look up to par with the rest of the carAll the side panels are excellent except the passenger rear. it has minor dings in the vinyl next to the seat beltAlpine stereo unitDrivetrain: Overall in excellent shapeTiming belt/ water pump service 15k miles agoNew radiatorNew Spark Plugs (Bosch Copper Plus)New clutch less than 10k miles agoFactory Limit Slip Differential in great conditionNo oil leaks. however my mechanic has specified that some spots are "sweating" oil. which most cars doGearbox shifts smoothlyCenter support bearing has been replaced about 1k miles agoBurns a little bit of oil (about a quart between oil changes. which she will need soon)Suspension and Brakes: Overall excellentPrevious owner had a full front end rebuild. including a new steering rackBrakes have less than 15k miles on themShocks have been replaced with Bilstein sport front. touring rearH&R lowering springs (the only performance vehicle modification. could not stand the mile high factory suspension height)Enkei 92 wheels are mint and straight: These are super rare. they are not reproductions but actual Enkei 92 from the 80s. Tires are in great shape. Bridgestone RE01 (minor vibration at speed)Aligned last weekAccessories: Everything works perfectly (heat. cruise control. odometer. nbsp;etc. ) except for the following:A/C pressure switch has failed (system is already R134a converted)Fog Lights do not workWindshield washer pump needs to be replacedHopefully the pictures are clear. if you need more feel free to contact me. Reason for selling is because I have driven it maybe 1000k miles last year and need the garage space for other cars (currently this one is one of 5). I am also a big BMW enthusiast and a BMW CCA member. so the car was certainly taken care of.
