Up for auction is my 1990 BMW 325ix. My wife and I just had our 2nd child and there just isn’t room for 2 car seats in this fun little car so I’m having to sell it. Here are the basics and some photos, please e-mail with any questions but the point of this for me is to SELL THE CAR. If you know about these cars, they are rare with AWD, 4 doors and a 5-speed.

I bought the car in February 2010 with approximately 144,000 miles from the second owner, who kept it at his country house for occasional drives on weekends. It’s been driven mainly as a fun winter car (I call it the “Snow Leopard” because of the superb winter handling of its always-on 4WD, it's truly fun to drive). It is 23 years old and is all-original, original paint, interior, wheels, lights, etc. The only modifications from stock is an M-series shift knob installed in 2011 (original shift knob will be included with the car) and a Yakima roof rack (also includes roof basket, not pictured). It has been well maintained and it's wonderful to drive. All mechanical systems work great; engine, transmission, brakes, steering, clutch, lights, horn, radio, etc., etc., great sporty exhaust note. It loves the area between 3-4000 rpm's. I would not hesitate to drive this car any distance.

The interior is remarkable for a 23 year old car, probably among the best you’ll see in a used 325ix that hasn't been fully restored. It has standard seats and a driver’s air bag. No wear, holes or cracks in any of the seats, front or back. No cracks in dash or holes in anything.

The exterior is nice, AND ORIGINAL. It has a few rust spots and a few dents, as seen in the pictures, the size of a quarter or less, and some rock chips but no damage. The front bumper has a small piece chipped off and there is a chip in the passenger turn signal light cover and a crack in the driver fog lamp cover. No chips in the windshield and all of the glass is in good condition. The BMW logos are original and faded and the rear logo is a bit dented. It has the original tool kit in the trunk. It is missing 2 of the 4 center wheel caps, as seen in the pictures.

Here's what it needs: Remember, this is a 23 year-old car, in remarkably good condition, runs and drives great! You can just keep on going. However, if you wanted to do a complete makeover, here's what I found that could use attention: Probably refinish the wheels, they are showing their age. Tires will get you at least another year or so. The power antenna does not go all the way down as seen in the photos. The power mirrors do not operate. A/C works, but is not very cold, may need to be serviced or recharged. I typically drive this car in the winter, so I don't often use the A/C. The LCD screen on the clock computer exploded so it’s hard to read. That's about it. I'm sure if you looked really hard you could find more faults with it because it's how old? Right, 23 years old!

Repairs in recent years since I’ve owned it:

New timing belt, spark plugs, water pump, thermostat, front sway-bar bushings and links  - 144,600 miles (February 2010)

Replaced oil pan (due to crack) - 145,400 miles (March 2010)

Buyer is responsible for transportation. The car can be driven away with proper plates and documentation or I can assist truck/transport drivers ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE. I have a job, travel sometimes and am a busy person, so this car is being sold here on E-Bay to the highest bidder rather than take weeks or months with another site.

Please e-mail and ask questions, if you are nearby you are welcome to come see and drive the car (according to my schedule) before bidding. This car will be sold to the highest bidder at the end of the auction. If you are unsure, don't bid. If you don't have the money, don't bid. If you live far away and haven't thought about shipping or picking up the car, don't bid. I am trying to sell the car and not have to re-list it.

Thanks for looking - and bidding!!
