Vehicle Description

1985 BMW E30. Clean Title. 137k miles. 5 Speed Manual.

VIN: WBAAB5404F9506521

Arizona car, rust free. Bought from a gentlemen from Tucson. Car has been taken care of its whole life in Arizona.

Dashboard only has one single crack (see picture). All interior is original, headliner is original and in wonderful shape, same with seats are all original and have been taken care of meticulously. Car has been taken care of wonderfully and drives absolutely amazing now that the suspension has gotten a complete overhaul.

Car is kept all original except for the wheels (I do have original wheels that are not refinished but I do have them from collecting E30 parts) and a few little parts. It has 137k original miles. I put in a speedo that has 180k miles but I have the original 137k ODO/Speedo and can include that as well.

Carpet is in absolutely amazing shape, original black color. Body barely has any dents. I do not know the condition of the paint underneath the wrap, it is silver underneath - I asked the previous owner about the paint before it was wrapped and they said it was not in great shape.

I have recorded a ton of the build series on this car on my TikTok/YouTube/Instagram @Evergreengarage so you can see some of the build if interested.

I have on my YouTube and TikTok channel @Evergreengarage videos of borescoping every cylinder.

  • BMW Oil Pan Gasket

Entire interior re-dyed and leather conditioned and cleaned properly, interior is all original and in beautiful condition

Headliner still original and not a single rip or crack.

CONS:

  • ODO gears replaced and I have 2 speedometers, have tested both and both work, but speedometer in the car does not read speed. I can include a whole other cluster that I just purchased since the SI batteries may need to be replaced, they were replaced from what I can tell in 2023 or the board itself that’s causing the issue, will include a whole other cluster as part of the sale
  • A/C has not been refilled/recharged, the compressor spins but unsure if it leaks, I do have a brand new belt that I will include for the A/C but if I keep the car I will just take it to my A/C guy to have it checked. He took care of my other E30 no problem. I can give you his info as well his prices are great
  • Power steering pump leaks, but as mentioned I am including a brand new Meyle power steering pump, just haven’t had time yet to install it yet
  • Rear muffler is cracked so could be replaced, doesn’t impact anything just something to note

EXTRA PARTS:

  • I have rear sway bar end links I will include just haven’t installed, aren't yet ready to be replaced
  • Will include a whole set of high quality coolant pipes
  • I just got new keys cut for the car so I have extra keys
  • I’m sure there are more things I am not thinking of that I am forgetting
  • Will include Goodyear rubber mats with the car

Car drives like a dream. Come take it for a spin if you are local to Mesa Arizona, has all of its power and is extremely healthy.

I am only selling because I have a bunch of cars in my collection and I have a 1975 airstream I am looking to move into - so trying to sell as much as I can.

My TikTok and YouTube is @Evergreengarage and I have dozens of videos documenting the build series. Reasonable offers will be considered. More photos can be requested for serious buyers only.
