1988 BMW 325i
This is it: the car that transformed BMW from the enthusiast's well-kept secret to mainstream full-line automaker. When this 1988 BMW 325i convertible hit the streets, uddenly BMWs were fashion as much as function, nd they haven't been the same since. What's even better, hough, s that this convertible has the moves to make it an enthusiast's choice, ll for a price that's shockingly affordable.With only 42,886 original miles on the clock, his is one clean Bimmer. The bright white finish is totally original and offers a nice change from the more familiar red and black cabrios running around. The clean, hiseled lines of the E30 3-Series are familiar and look as good today as they did more than 25 years ago, uggesting status, erformance, nd quality in BMW's uniquely quiet way. Fit and finish are excellent and thanks to proper care over the years (and just 1500 miles per year) it still shines up beautifully.

Things like the black bumpers, og lamps, nd even the rubber components all remain in excellent condition with few signs of age, perfect throwback to 1980s fashion and performance.

Handsome well-bolstered tan leather buckets show a few age-related wrinkles but nothing major and even in a convertible, he hides remain remarkably supple. Darker carpets give the interior a well-finished look and this car was built before airbags were mandatory, o the steering wheel is a beautiful 3-spoke unit that's just awesome. Big, lear gauges offer up all the information you'll need and there's a period AM/FM/cassette stereo in the dash. Of course, ot everything was simple in 1988, ecause the HVAC controls are still tough to decipher and there's a trip computer with an array of tiny buttons, ut no car is perfect. And yes, hat's a built-in car phone, he perfect accessory for your 1980s convertible. A snug-fitting German canvas convertible top fits better than most and still has a clear rear window, hile the trunk is well-shaped and useful, op up or top down.BMW's 2.5 liter inline-six was legendary for its turbine-like smoothness, lat torque curve, nd brilliant exhaust note, ll of which are proudly on display in this ragtop. It turns out that these engines are brutally reliable, asy to service, nd still a joy to drive in today's era of 600 horsepower supercars. It purrs to life effortlessly and thanks to a relatively light curb weight, 89 horsepower turns out to be plenty of fun. Linked to a 4-speed automatic transmission, t's easy to drive and doesn't mind the daily grind as well as hustling down your favorite twisty road.
