Here is a 1991 BMW 325i coupe in blue. It has a six cylinder and an automatic transmission. The body is generally straight and rust free, especially for a 1991. There are only two rust spots that I have found, one is on the drivers front wheel well and the other is the lower rear valance, below the bumper on the passenger side. The fenders, door seams, door jambs are all solid with no signs of any rust. I have owned the car for three and a half years. It has been a great car and has never let me down.The actual mileage is unknown. The odometer currently reads 189000. The previous owner estimated that it probably had a little over 200,000 miles. I have probably added 25,000 to 30,000 miles to this. I commute approximately 70 to 80 miles a day and drive this regularly during the Spring, Summer and Fall. I have driven in the Winter but try not to when the roads are salty.The power windows and sunroof operate as they should.It is an honest, solid original car. It runs pretty good, however, there is often a hesitation on acceleration from a stop.Since it has been in my care, the following items have been addressed.1. Rebuilt front suspension, including having the steering rack rebuilt, replacing tie rods, control arms, bushings and stabilizer links. The power steering hoses were also replaced with new.2. Replaced the drivers side rear wheel bearing, half-shaft and bushings. The rear subframe bushings have not been replaced and I suspect are original.3. Rear brakes were done with new rotors, pads and brake hoses.4. Rear differential fluid has been replaced.5. Replaced the muffler and catalytic converter.6. Replaced the driveshaft with a used driveshaft. There is a slight driveline vibration on takeoff, but that may be due to the driveshaft coupling nut. I have a new one with rubber spline seal, it will be included with the sale for the new owner to install.7. Tires are in excellent condition, they were replaced a little over two and a half years ago. Alignment was performed when the front suspension was rebuilt.8. In the engine bay, the rubber intake boot, vacuum lines, cap and rotor, spark plugs have been replaced with new. The timing belt and water pump should be replaced soon. I have a new timing belt, tensioner and water pump, which will be included for the buyer to install. 9. Blue coir floor mats were purchased 3 years ago.Since it is an older car, there are several items that could use attention.The drivers seat leather has come apart this Summer and the foam is exposed.The A/C doesn't currently work. It hasn't worked since I have owned the car.The original paint is dodgy with a peeling clear coat on the hood, roof and trunk lid.Some spares I have will be included with the sale, 1. BMW black vinyl sport seats (they will need to be recovered)2. Original rear seat back (optional rear seat back with headrests are installed)3. New timing belt, tensioner and water pump4. Drivshaft coupling nut with spline rubberWith some finishing touches like a decent respray and new seat leather for the front seats, this would be a great classic driver.This lovely little auto gets attention where ever I go. It's not super quick but is a blast to drive since it handles like a go cart.
