- Genuine 15” BBS with caps (caps taken off as looked like they were stuck on somehow and I didn’t want to lose them)
- Drilled and grooved brake discs, with high performance brake pads

Mechanically the car is great: starts first time, pushes through the gears extremely well, and nothing that has caused me any concern. Items that need attention based on my experience with the car are generally bodywork bits as below:
- Sunroof panel blistered/ slightly rusted and motor doesn’t work
- Blistering on rear boot lid where seals have failed in the past, and rusted, with one section a large hole just below the boot lid on the right. I've been told that the full panel is best to be replaced and rewelded
- Washer jets don’t seem to work.
Oil light pops up mainly noticed when driving and going into neutral when switching gears, it pops on and then off. Been inspected and oil levels are all fine. I believe when the stroker engine was put in, there was a sensor that was supposed to be replaced at the same time but wasn’t
- General bubbling of paintwork on front bonnet where the badge is, and on wing mirrors.
- Small areas on the front bumper where paint has come away. Couple of locations size of 50p coins
I bought this E30 from a known enthusiast, and he has provided information on all the bits that he understands to have been done to the car from the owner he bought off.
It’s a 325i SE, but not a stock 2. 5 as it’s been strokered. I took this off the known enthusiast as he had no space for it and no time to spend on it. Ironically I thought I would have the time, but with two newborns during the time of my ownership, I found no time to touch the car up, hence now looking to pass on to someone to get it back up to top condition.
The previous owner spent a lot on a full engine rebuild to a 2. 7 stroker, with rebuilt 3. 64 LSD.
Overall condition is great, but there are areas that need some TLC to bring it back to what it's meant to be
The car has some paperwork with it, but as always with these types of cars it doesn't have a full documented record. I have serviced it everywhere alongside the MOT. Open to sensible offers / swaps / px. Happy to provide more photos where requested.
