The BMW 325i was a massively important car for BMW - and it remains an enduring success today.

book pack has been stamped up and there are many previous MOT certificates that substantiate the indicated mileage of 89,000. Supplied with an MOT Certificate until August 2017, the car is reported to be running and driving very well. The electric roof mechanism is functioning as it should and the manual gearbox is a joy to operate. This must be one of the rarest E30s available and is presented in totally standard and unmolested condition. An ideal companion for convertible Spring motoring at its very finest.
The 320i and - even more so - the 323i/325i were a real driver’s delight. The E12’s propensity to oversteer when it wanted to, had been tamed considerably in the E30.

This 325i Motorsport Cabriolet is one of just 250 right-hand drive limited editions made by BMW in 1989.

Servicing has been carried out by the supplying dealer, Cooper of Thames Ditton and Dick Lovett. The service book in the BMW
