1987 BMW 325i Convertible

Description

Powerful, beautiful, quick, nimble, and loaded, this 1987 BMW 325i convertible should be on your list of desirable classic drivers. So instead of waiting for this to be a high-dollar vintage, maybe it's time you take home this premium but affordable drop-top.

Royal Blue Metallic is a terrific-looking color. It has a deep and sophisticated tone that also loves to really pop when the sunlight hits it. They even invested in a more recent respray of the hood to make sure the car keeps its premium and appealing presentation. And there's an overall attractiveness of a car with such straight sheetmetal. It's a testament both to how well the car was cared for over the years as well as the quality that you get when you pay for a premium European. In fact, the only sign that this car is over three decades old is the convertible top, and the budget price on this BMW helps with those kinds of improvements. And everything from the chin spoiler with fog lights, to the iconic bottle cap-style alloys it really shows off this car's detailed care over the years.

This factory-correct Pearl Beige is one of the best color combos against the exterior blue, and so it's great to have it so well-preserved and well-presented today. It's loaded with all the best features, like power windows, power locks, cruise control, anti-lock brakes, power steering, and the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo. And cold-blowing air conditioning means staying cool even with the top down in the summertime. BMW truly builds driver's cars, and you feel it the moment you sit in the sports seat that's engineered to be all-day comfortable. All your essential controls wraparound the driver. The three-spoke steering wheel feels great in your hands, and beyond that is a full gauge package with large speedo and tach.

This is the era of BMW's super-smooth inline-six motors, and this 2.5-liter fuel-injected powerhouse is a gem. We have $4,800 in recent maintenance receipts that includes the timing belt, fluids, A/C recharge, new hoses, motor mounts, and more. It's a strong runner that's quite adaptable no matter if you feel like performance driving or luxury cruising. That's also because the five-speed manual transmission lets you turn this into a performance drop-top with one quick downshift. The sport-tuned full independent suspension is further enhanced by the four-wheel power disc brake package and new tires. So yes, this is the kind of car that can go from a commuter machine to a backroads burner at a moment's notice - making it the ideal all-around classic.

The sale comes with desirable paperwork, including the original window sticker, owner's manual packet, and original temp tag from when it was sold new in Tucson. This is the affordable and respected driver's classic convertible you've been waiting for. Don't let it slip away, call today!
