This 1987 BMW 325is is a remarkable find for the E30 enthusiast, showing just 60,000 original miles. Finished in the iconic Cinnabar Red (138) over a Black leather interior, this car was long-term owned by the seller's late relative before being inherited recently. It represents the "is" trim at its best, featuring the 2.5-liter M20 inline-six and a suite of factory performance upgrades. This is a clean-titled, accident-free (per Carfax) example that offers a rare opportunity to own a low-mileage survivor of one of BMW's most legendary driver's cars.

According to the BMW Customer Relations correspondence, the following equipment was fitted at the factory:

Differential lock

BMW LA wheels (chrome-plated/round spoke)

Rear spoiler

Electric sunroof (lift-up-and-slide-back)

Electric front window lifts

Sports seats

Air conditioning

Cruise control

On-board computer II with remote control

Sound System

M Sports suspension

M sports leather steering wheel

Exterior

The body is finished in striking Cinnabar Red. While it shows the honest character of an unrestored car, the paint remains incredibly bright. Notable exterior features include yellow-tinted fog lights, a factory decklid spoiler, a sunroof, and tinted windows. The car sits on classic 14″ silver bottle cap alloy wheels. We have recently installed essentially brand new tires with less than 500 miles on them. Please note the front "cow catcher" spoiler has been removed. While there is some cosmetic surface corrosion on underside components typical for the age, the chassis is solid with no rust-through.

Interior

Inside, the cabin is exceptionally well-preserved, featuring bolstered front sport seats upholstered in black leather. The interior is rounded out by an M Tech I steering wheel, original onboard computer, and a cassette stereo with a trunk-mounted CD changer. The Air Conditioning blows ice cold and remains on the original R12 system. All windows, the sunroof, and the dash gauges—including the odometer—function exactly as they should. While there is some minor wear on the seat bolsters consistent with age, the interior reflects a car that was truly "loved".

Underhood & Underbody

The 2.5-liter M20 inline-six was factory rated at 168 horsepower and runs beautifully. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. This 325is came from the factory with a sport-tuned suspension and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. CRITICAL MAINTENANCE UPDATE: We have just performed a fresh timing belt service, addressing the primary maintenance concern for this M20 engine and giving the next owner total peace of mind. While the engine bay would benefit from a light detail, the mechanical integrity is now top-tier.

Driving

This E30 is an absolute joy on the road. It starts, shifts, and tracks exactly as you would expect from a 60k-mile BMW. It feels tight, planted, and confident. The sport suspension provides that communicative handling that made the E30 famous, while the M20 engine pulls smooth and strong. With the timing belt service now complete, this is a "get in and drive" example that is ready for its next enthusiast owner.

Conclusion

Finding an E30 325is with miles this low is becoming a rare event. With its desirable Cinnabar Red over Black color combination, accident-free history, and its most vital engine service just completed, this car is a prime candidate for a collection or a weekend cruiser. We've been transparent about the cosmetic engine bay and the legacy of the previous ownership, but the car speaks for itself on the road. Please note: We only have what is seen in the photos and video; we encourage you to review the documentation and condition shots to appreciate the originality of this BMW.
