1988 Bmw 325ix Base Coupe 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
North Stonington, Connecticut, United States
|
Selling my beloved 1988 BMW 325ix coupe. One of only 310 sold that model year. I've owned it since 2005, and bought it with 149k on the odometer. It now has 223k, but you would never know by the way it looks and drives. Very well maintained, with an extensive list including- New fuel injectors, clutch assembly with resurfaced flywheel, alternator, power steering pump, left control arm & bushings, intake manifold gaskets, front axle boots, heat shield gasket, fuel pressure regulator, Bilstein shocks, Brembo rotors in front, High performance ignition wires, all new synthetic fluids in transfer case and front and rear differentials, recent timing belt, recent coolant with tune up, Instrument cluster battery changed over to lithium, Euro lenses, Remus exhaust...... Has $1200 worth of stereo in it (have original radio also) and was painted a few years ago. Had very, VERY small amount of rust on car. Front right fender was rusted, so opted to have it replaced. Other than that, a small amount of rust under the trunk release was fixed. This is a very solid car. Doesn't burn a drop of oil between changes. Any questions, please feel free to ask. On May-09-14 at 06:20:23 PDT, seller added the following information: Selling my 1988 BMW 325ix coupe, one of only 310 sold in the U.S. that model year. Car looks, runs and drives beautifully. Very well maintained and never abused. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer example. Interior is in great condition (except driver's seat) and dash is perfect. Car has power windows, mirrors, locks, and sunroof, and cruise control, all working fine. AC has never worked, I have no idea what its deal is, so I'm not going to give you the old 'probably just needs a recharge' BS. Steering is tight and crisp, and engine runs strong. Check the internals by taking off oil cap, and engine is as bright and shiny as the day it was made. Had it since 2005, and always used synthetic oil, and synthetic fluids for transfer car and front and rear differentials. Have an extensive parts list and upgrade list. Upgrades include Power chip (needs at least 91 octane), High performance spark plug wires, Remus free flow exhaust, and K&N cold air intake. This bumps the horses up to around 200. You'll enjoy the extra zip! Awesome in the snow, and a blast on twisty roads. Has near new Kumho Ecsta 4x tires. Parts list includes- all new injectors, clutch with resurfaced flywheel, left control arm and bushings, alternator, power steering pump, Intake manifold gaskets, front axle boots, fuel pressure regulator, Brembo rotors in front, Bilstein shocks in back, heat shield gasket, recent timing belt, new coolant, and tune up. Instrument cluster battery has been changed over to lithium, and installed Euro lenses in back. Painted a few years back. Had very VERY little rust. Right front fender had some, so I opted to replace it, and small spot by the trunk lid button was fixed. This is a very solid car with tons of life left. This is NOT a project car. You can pick up a piece of junk for $3500 and easily put $10k plus into it to get it running and looking good. Any questions, please feel free to contact me. On May-10-14 at 02:41:48 PDT, seller added the following information: Would like to clarify that all major maintenance has taken place within the last 48 months and within 23k miles. They are not 'new' like as of yesterday. Have garage receipts for the big ticket items, and have sales receipts for all parts mentioned plus smaller things that I did not list, like burl wood shift knob. The tune up and timing belt are within the last 2k miles, as well as a replaced back brake line. Sorry for any confusion! |

BMW considering building 3 Series in North America
Sun, 13 Apr 2014There might be even more BMWs coming from North America soon. The company recently announced plans to build a flagship crossover called the X7 at its Spartanburg, SC, factory. Now, rumors are emerging that the Bavarians might be thinking about building a second North American factory that could build its quick-selling 3 Series.
According to Bloomberg, the German luxury giant is considering several possible locations for a North American factory, including two in Mexico, that may build the 3. "We will decide this in the next months. On the North American continent, there's still potential," said BMW production boss, Harald Krueger, in an interview meant for company staff obtained by Bloomberg.
If BMW decides to open a plant in Mexico, it would be following its rival Audi, which already announced construction of a factory there. Mercedes-Benz has been rumored to be working on a deal with Nissan to build its cars South of the Border as well. Rumors of Bimmer considering Mexican production have also cropped up in the past, so it wouldn't come as a total surprise to hear it made official.
BMW M4 Convertible spied with naked top and trunk
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Our trusty spy photographers have been at it again, snagging these first images of the forthcoming BMW M4 Convertible without camouflage on its retractable roof and rear deck. You'll recall that this is not the first time we've seen the followup to the M3 Convertible, but that the last batch of images we had were encumbered by a lot more camouflage - this car is virtually naked by comparison.
Not surprisingly, the M4 looks to share its folding hardtop design with the standard 4 Series droptop, and it should operate in a similar manner as well. It's no surprise, but it looks like BMW is going to try and make the transition from M4 Coupe to M4 Convertible as effortless as previous efforts converting the M3 to an M3 Convertible. That should mean that below the beltline, this car is nearly identical to the coupe we saw in Detroit.
As for the camo'd features on these spy photos, the hood, front fascia, rear fascia, quarter panels, side sills and mirrors have all been shown on the M4 Coupe, and don't really bear mentioning. There's been no word of just where the M4 Convertible will make its debut, although considering the lack of disguise on this car, Geneva seems like a likely destination.
BMW Vision Future Luxury Concept is bold and beautiful in Beijing
Sun, 20 Apr 2014BMW officially unveiled the Vision Future Luxury Concept today (or is it tomorrow?) at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, giving the world's media an in-the-flesh look at not only a future design theme for the brand, but a rumored flagship model.
This is a looker in person, thanks to its Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe-inspired design, and it's not too difficult to imagine it in production car form, with smaller wheels, larger mirrors and the other minor transformations that take place from drawing board, to auto show and, finally, to assembly line. In general, it seems like there are more than a few parts of this vehicle that are ready for production.
We didn't talk about it in our initial post, but it bears mentioning that this particular concept is wearing an eDrive badge on its backside, indicating that under the Vision Future Luxury's long hood is some form of plug-in-hybrid propulsion. It's anyone's guess as to what engine, battery and motor combinations BMW is playing with, although it does seem questionable whether BMW would launch a PHEV flagship to do battle with a top-rung variant of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (which will likely use V12 power).
