1990 BMW 325i Cabriolet (E30)

Highlights

  • UK-registered right-hand drive example
  • In current ownership since 2014
  • Comprehensive recent mechanical refurbishment, including new clutch, brakes, and cylinder head work
  • Advisory-free MOT valid to March 2027

The Appeal

The E30-generation BMW Cabriolet holds a special place in the hearts of open-top motoring enthusiasts. Powered by the silky 2.5-litre inline-six and paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, the 325i Cabriolet is a real sweet spot in the range. It's got all of the hallmarks of the Bavarian marque - comfort, build quality and an impressive turn of speed. 
This 1990 example has been in the hands of its current owner since 2014, during which time it has benefited from a thorough programme of mechanical renewal. The vendor reports that the engine is in good condition, that the car starts readily, and that it is great fun to drive. It comes to market with an MOT valid to March 2027 and represents a well-sorted, mechanically refreshed E30 Cabriolet ready to be enjoyed.
