Selling this rare BMW E30 325iX Touring that we traded in on an E28 recently.
Car is DIAMANTSCHWARZ METALLIC ( 181 ) with the 0270 SILBER GRAU interior.
It has the legendary 4x4 wheel drive known by BMW as the X-Drive system, hence the iX badge.
We export cars to the USA every month using NMT as our shipper.
They will completely take care of you with all the paperwork, import duties and fees.
In other words, you can show up to the dock with a copy of your shipping bill and your ID and drive home with the car just by placing your signature! (a few local fees may apply at certain ports)
Shipping cost to all East side ports (Halifax, New York, Baltimore, Savannah, Norfolk or Jacksonville) and also Houston will be a total of $1800 including the paperwork, import duties, bond fees, custom clearance, etc.
Car drives great, starts and runs every time.
Does not leak nor overheat, does the job as it should!
Equipped with these factory options:
S288A Alloy wheels (14" BBS basketwave)
S400A Sliding/Tilting-Sunroof
S410A Power windows (Front)
S423A Floormatset
S510A Headlightaiming
S556A Digital clock
S655 BMW Bavaria Radio (No longer installed)
S681 Roofantenna
S690A Cassette-storage
L804A Swiss-Country selection
The car has covered 268.000 KM’s which comes down to 168.000 miles.
Engine is still pulling strong and does not make any weird sounds.
Being a Swiss car it profits from the full catalyst converter system (just as US cars have) so it will meet the same EPA regulations. We are 100% confident to export this car and import it legally to any state, except for California, which may require a bit more to get it in. (we do know some other people who have successfully imported identical 325ix Tourings under the already known 325ix type in CA)
This car is exempt from US DOT & EPA regulations under the >25 year rule.
As said before, we export these cars on a monthly basis, so we know what we are talking about.
Bidding means buying, there is no reserve so get yourself a true rare Euro car for a bargain!
Buyer agrees to either organize his own transportation, or go through us using NMT which is $1800 in total to all East coast ports and including Houston.
Good and bad points:
It is a complete car, comes with all service books and even the rear roller cover is still in place.
5 speed overdrive transmission shifts nicely and still has plenty of live left on the clutch.
Brakes all work without pulling, ABS seems to work as it should.
I’ve driven the car on a steep grass hill and it just drove on there like it was nothing, meaning the 4x4 system does its job!
Like most Tourings, the roof liner suffers from hanging a bit in the rear, pretty easy to fix with a stapler, although not the most correct way to do it…. Doing it right will take you about a day.
Most E30’s suffer from a problem with the locks, this 325iX is no different. Locks and central locking works, but the driver’s side door lock won’t lock the doors, it will however open them. Lock in the tailgate is missing, but will be included and installed before the car is sold.
Paint seems original overall, could have had some touchups here and there….it’s still a 27 year old car.
Small rust spots on the lower side of the fenders, nothing terrible, but it’s there.
Sunroof panel has some serious rust on the left side, a regular E30 sedan panel will fit straight in.
Wheel caps are missing, but can still be ordered at your BMW dealer.
Radio has been replaced by an aftermarket JVC unit and will stay in the car.
All glass is nice and original with the tint all around.
Smiley headlights all work as do the fog lights.
Tailgate has rust (as all E30 Tourings do unfortunately) but can be fixed.
(if desired I can include a brand new BMW tailgate for an additional $500)
The iX has a special spoilerkit which is all complete and undamaged on this car!
I would not hesitate to drive this car from the port to wherever your home may be……
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
I will update the listing with a video of the car later this week when the weather clears up.
More pictures are available through our website, just google our name and it's the first hit.
Kind regards, Ivo Christov
