This BMW E30 3-Series Coupe got away, but there are more like it here.

This Canadian-market 1987 BMW 325is was purchased by the seller in 2022 and shows 132k kilometers (~82k miles). Powered by a 2.5-liter M20 inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission, it is finished in Delphin Gray Metallic over beige cloth upholstery with houndstooth inserts. The 325is received a front air dam with integrated fog lights as well as a decklid spoiler, bolstered sport seats, a limited-slip differential, and a sunroof from the factory. Additional equipment includes 14″ basketweave alloy wheels, cruise control, a cassette stereo, and air conditioning. Work completed under current ownership is said to have included a fuel system overhaul, valve adjustment, brake service, fluid exchanges, and replacement of the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, belts, and more as detailed below. This E30 is offered in Canada with service records, spare parts, a clean Carfax report, and British Columbia registration.

The M Tech I wheel frames a 240-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, instant fuel economy, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 132k kilometers (~82k miles), approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership.

The 2.5-liter M20B25 inline-six was factory rated at 168 horsepower and 164 lb-ft of torque. The fuel tank, pump, pressure regulator, line, and filter are said to have been replaced in 2022 at approximately 125k kilometers along with the distributor, distributor cap, and spark plugs wires. The seller tells us service completed at 131k kilometers involved performing a valve adjustment and replacing the water pump, thermostat, valve cover gasket, camshaft seal, and spark plugs in addition to the timing, alternator, A/C, and power steering belts. The coolant and power steering fluids were also flushed, and the oil was changed for the engine, transmission, and rear differential.
