1989 BMW 325I SE

Highlights

  • Owned by only two main drivers since the car rolled out of the factory floor in January 1989.
  • Desirable SE features from the Motorsport list like LSD and Sports Gearbox.
  • Since 1993 all annual MOTs, services, and maintenance done by the same garage using only genuine BMW parts.

The Appeal 

There's nothing quite like owning a BMW 325ise. These end of the E30 era gems hold a special place in BMW's automotive legacy as they were only offered to the 6-cylinder models. This 1989 model on offer showcases the best of BMW's mastery over both style and substance. It comes equipped with more than just your average SE features; with colour-coded bumpers, valances, sunroof, rear windows, and even a higher-spec set of features from the Motorsport list, such as LSD and Sports Gearbox.

Why get a standard when you can own an elevated version of a classic?

Summary 

Here's an exciting opportunity for BMW enthusiasts and classic car collectors. This 1989 BMW 325ise offers a unique blend of character, rich BMW lineage and a rare feature set that sets it apart from your typical E30. It needs some love and care, but its rock-solid foundation and original configurability are assets for any project car or restoration endeavour. 

Plus, its purchase does not just include the vehicle, but also the 34 years of memories and history it carries, shared by only two main drivers since its manufacture. Remember, they don't make them like this anymore and nothing ever truly reaches classic status without its share of stories. Here's your chance to add your chapter to the saga of this very special BMW 325ise
