2001 BMW 325ci 5-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would generously pay above-market prices to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in September, all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. Many additional lots will be offered in the coming months. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

When it came time to revamp its bread-and-butter 3-Series lineup for the 1999 model year, the German automaker focused on refinement and quality. The new E46-generation 3-Series range — available in sedan, wagon, convertible, and coupe configurations in the U.S. — was a massive leap forward thanks to its far more luxurious interior. And yet these cars remained just as fun to drive as the outgoing model thanks to a low curb weight and rev-happy six-cylinder engines.

This 2001 325ci is finished in red over a tan leather interior, and it is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. It's equipped with 17" alloy wheels, bolstered front seats with heating and power adjustment, a glass sunroof, and automatic climate control.

First registered in Maryland, this 3-Series coupe later spent time registered in Alabama.

This 2001 BMW 325ci is now represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist at no reserve with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a bonded Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
