Hi All,

WOW! That has got to be one of the tidiest looking metal bumber 2dr 325i's i have seen in quite a while!

An early C reg on to!

Numberplate sums it up nicely I think..

Lovely clean chromie

looks wicked

Stunning Zahid, stunning. What,s the mileage on it mate?

thats very very nicee and clean

Oh my god That is gorgeous

WOW stunning! Is that the original paint?

mmmmmm chrome

My word that is rather nice..............................

I spy what looks like a period stereo, plus air con as well yum, yum

Its normally 316 and 320i pre-facelifts you see in that sort condition. Very rare to see a 325i in that condition.

loverly!! A credit to you, not many like this about!

The bumper appears to not sit flush with the rear nearside arch? There should be a screw/bolt inside the arch that holds the bumper toight, it must have come loose?

pure porn

lovely i hope its staying as is

i spy air con too

Could also be due to the fact that the plastic end cap is,nt on right. Trust a bit of plastic to mar, what is possibly one of the tidiest chromies on here..

That is one lovely early chromie.

Stunning bodywork for an early car,must have been cherished throughout its life,most have had some sort of tat bolted to them or raced and then crashed

Lovely

man thats nice

Another lovley cromey but this one is oober cleen. Good work.

looks like a minter,I am impressed

Nice to see someone has TASTE & left this baby as she should be ORIGINAL !!

Thanks everyone; its comments like these that make the effort worthwhile.

Good spot to those who spotted the a/c controls! The stereo is an aftermarket one as it came with the original radio and the stereo was the closest I could find to go with the era. The steering wheel is also from chris warburton as the original was the heavy duty bus style one!

The bumper is actually an aftermarket job hence the poor fitting. I had a small knock on the rear so the bumper was replaced but will replace with an original one if I can find an immaculate and if not will get one from BMW...

The bodywork is the dreaded Zinnober red so looks great in part but has signs of pigment damage. As a result, the roof and bonnet are going to get resprayed this summer.. Also, the alloys need reconditioning.

Finally, it has done only 40k miles from new hence the condition of the leather and am aiming to keep it as original as possible but is difficult. It has the 4 Uniroyal raintyres all around and one will need chnanging in the next few months so will loose some originality as the original tyre is now discontinued..

Anyway before I bore everyone I'll shut up. Thanks again for your comments!

Zahid

awsome 40k, all the best with it

That is absolutely gorgeous! One of the nicest chromies ive ever seen!

love.

Nice car, switchable auto is cool!

exactly as the number plate says TiDY.

V high spec for an EARLY 86! Power steering, Air con, Leather etc! Nice!

Thanks guys.

You're not wrong Leigh, with all the add-ons it cost almost £17k in 1986!

Very nice mate, stunning

Oh no, do carry on.

Tell us more about the car. Did you purchase it recently, or are you the original owner? You going to waxoyl it yourself, because if so would love to see some pictures, Im planning on getting mine this summer.

Its e30s like that, that really do make you feel as if your back in the 80s again.


Keep up the good work.

Beautiful. So nice to see a clean original car being kept that way.

A credit to you mate.
