Description
The E30-generation BMW 3-Series was the first factory-built open-top 3-Series model, and it was initially offered in the U.S. in 325i configuration. Powered by a 2.5L M20 inline-six engine and offered with an automatic or manual transmission, the convertible body features a reinforced body structure, and buyers could choose from an array of paint colors and interior options.
Finished in Cinnabar Red with a black convertible soft top and black leather interior, this 1987 325i Convertible had one private owner before its acquisition by the selling dealer, and it now shows approximately 110,000 miles. Its 2.5L inline-six delivers power to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission.
This 1987 BMW 325i convertible is now offered by the selling dealer in Illinois with an owner's manual, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Massachusetts title.

Additional Information
From the seller, “I purchased this BMW two years ago from a BMW dealership that originally sold it new and took it back on trade. Since we’re a dealer that specializes in older BMWs, they sold it to us. The vehicle is rust free it doesn’t have any rust in the undercarriage or the hood cowl area, where they typically rust, and the tires are brand new. The top has been replaced by the previous owner and the rear seat I had rear reupholstered.”
