1993 BMW 325i 5 speed
1993 BMW 3-Series Description
I have decided to sell my rare Alpine White 1993 325i 5 speed. Next month this car will be 25 years old and into the classic category. I bought this car in 2010 at 225k from a friend of mine who is a BMW technician. He had just completed a rebuild of the motor. I know this for a fact because I witnessed the tear down. The previous owner was also a BMW technician. Chassis has 310k and the motor has 85k. I am a retired insurance agent and this was the perfect car for me being as it was dubbed "The Little Executive" and was named Motor Trend car of the year. I have owned 7 BMW's in my career and this is one of the best. It just has it all, convenience, speed, fantastic gas mileage, and of course the incredible 5 speed transmission with a short shifter. No check engine lights and all pixels work and look as they should. This car has always been well looked after and very dependable. They don't make em like this anymore. Very rare to find one in this condition with the 5 speed. What a fun car to drive. I have put a lot of interior pictures because this is where the disaster usually is on these cars. This one is near perfect. When I bought the car I had the seats recovered and the headliner replaced.

Sunroof has been diagnosed by a professional and simply needs new cables to work properly.
You would be hard pressed to find an E36 this nice for the money. An appreciating classic for sure. Owned and maintained by a BMW enthusiast. Buy It Now before they sky rocket. A great investment for sure.
At the Buy It Now Price I will also include the ASA wheels and Regal tires that I just replaced. 215/45/17 over 50%
Folks My loss is your gain. Just do the math. Car is ready to drive anywhere. Needs nothing.
I am selling the car because I just purchased a 1st gen Z4 not because there is anything wrong with the car.
This is the 2nd and last listing on my 325i. Surely someone sees the value in this car. If it does not sell this time I will keep the car. I hate to because these cars are better when they are driven regular. This has been my daily driver for 8 years that should mean something to a future owner.
Thanks again: Terry
