Description

Stunning BMW E30 325i finished in Calypso Red, which genuinely turns heads everywhere it goes.

This is a genuine manual 325i with approximately 73, 000 miles, and has undergone a number of significant improvements.

The car has had a full respray, a brand-new leather interior and a new hood, giving it a fantastic overall appearance. It also sits on a set of split-rim alloy wheels, complementing the classic E30 shape perfectly.

The car runs and drives really well, with the smooth straight-six engine and manual gearbox delivering the character and driving experience that makes the E30 325i such a desirable classic.

For peace of mind, the car has just had a new fuel tank and fuel lines fitted. The underside is particularly clean and the car presents extremely well.
