BUT . . . you can BUY IT ALL at once for much less, contact me for details!
All items sold on this page are Genuine BMW STOCK PARTS, no aftermarket parts or alterations.
THESE PARTS ARE "CLEAN"! All the items sold on this page are from a 1988 BMW 325is (VIN WBAAA130XJ8252079) that I owned from 1998 to 2004. It was involved in an accident in 2002 and I purchased the car back from the insurance company and drove it for two more years . . . I was in love (with the car and a very expensive girlfriend, also of German heritage) and I couldn't part with it. After it finally quit, I decided to strip the car and pay to have the shell towed away. I've sold most major parts (many interior pieces, a complete wiring harness, and a complete engine and transmission, for example) and am ready to part with the rest. I'm still trying to part with the girl, so do me a favor and at least help me clean out my garage! (UPDATE: Somehow, this stuff all fits into a one-bedroom apartment and the girl, well, she's sadly gone . . .) You'll get a great deal!

325is HOOD in GREAT CONDITION
Price: $225
BLACK HOOD from my departed 1988 BMW 325is is rust-free and has one minor surface irregularity. As can be expected after 205,000 miles, there are paint chips from rocks near the front of the hood, but nothing that has caused rust bubbles or other damage. This hood would serve well on any E30 needing a hood and would look like new with a good paint job. Photos of the hood were taken after a washdown to clearly show surface quality (that accounts for the "dry" areas seen in the photo). The hood comes complete with the heat shield. The front hinge is not included (already sold!), but the safety catches that attach near the firewall are available for a small additional cost.
YOU SAVE over $500! Original equipment dealer price for an unpainted hood is $490.56. Painting is generally around $300.
Make an offer so this hood can go to a good home where it will get good use from its long remaining life!
REAR WINDOW with WORKING DEFROSTER
SOLD!
BLACK LEATHERETTE REAR SEAT
Price: $125
BLACK LEATHERETTE REAR SEAT BOTTOM AND BACKREST is in fabulous condition and lightly used. In fact, it probably carried passengers for less than 1,000 of the nearly 120,000 miles I owned the car. This is the seat you want in your E30. This E30 was garaged for many years and spent summers parked in the shade when it wasn't in the garage. Very few light abrasions (not even worth being called scuffs) and NO TEARS OR PITTTING mean this seat is like new. Photographs of the reverse sides show how the leatherette remains intact and factory inspection and inventory tags are still attached! The dark-colored areas are dust from gravel roads; there is no mildew or water damage.
No need to replace a rear seat? This item would be an EXCELLENT source of well-cared-for and lightly-used leatherette that could be used to patch or repair the rare sport seats that graced E30 interiors. The seat is not the E30 M3 rear seat, but would make an adequate replacement for those on a budget; it's better to have an attractive leatherette seat in the rear than a ratty leather seat.
WOW, YOU SAVE $1,700! Original equipment dealer price WAS $979.52 (bottom) and $843.15 (backrest), for a total of nearly $1825. Count your good fortune and forget that you even saved $1,700 because THESE PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM BMW!
Make an offer - any offer - and obtain these RARE seats today!
THE FRONT SPORT SEATS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOLD. PLEASE DO NOT SEND E-MAIL ASKING ABOUT THE FRONT SPORT SEATS. But the gentleman who bought them got a great deal because he bought other stuff, too. If you need a rear seat, buy more and you'll get a discount! E-MAIL ME and make some offers!
INTERIOR CARPETING
SOLD!
PREMIUM AUDIO SPEAKERS
Price: $150
PREMIUM AUDIO SPEAKERS from both the rear and front of an E30 were part of the premium audio system option. The speakers sold here are most likely the Alpine units. In this purchase, the front speakers are FREE! What's not included in this purchase but was part of the premium audio speaker package are the A-pillar tweeters (dealership list is $39.52 each).
The rear speakers are one unit each, but inside are separates with an internal crossover for the woofer and tweeter. They are in very good condition, work flawlessly, and saw limited stress as the system in the car had an aftermarket subwoofer. Coupled with a subwoofer, these speakers deliver brilliant highs and deep midrange that fills the cabin, thanks to the acoustical effects of bouncing all that sound off the rear window. The package includes four screws for each speaker unit and the cover for the woofer and tweeter. The covers still have the thin fabric dust screen and accompanying gasket, which eliminates vibration.
During the time I owned the car, the front speakers were replaced with
Blaupunkt 5.25" two-ways. The Blaunpunkts were my solution to not having to replace crossovers and the A-pillar tweeters and the Blaupunkts provided great sound. These BMW OEM speakers are functional but I cannot make any guarantees as to the quality of the sound since I have not used them since 1998. That is why they are FREE and come with the purchase of the rear speakers.
YOU SAVE nearly $250! Dealership price is $126.64 EACH for the rear speakers and $68.64 EACH for the front speakers. The rear speakers alone are worth over $250, the package itself being over $390!
Make an offer and add PREMIUM audio sound to the rear parcel shelf of your BMW!
OEM JACK AND LUG WRENCH
Price: $50
JACK AND LUG WRENCH will work with any E30 and possibly other BMW's as well. The jack was regularly greased and is in working order. Both devices show some surface rust, nothing that can't be cleaned off with a good circular wire brush and a drill.
YOU SAVE $35! Dealership price for original equipment replacement is $50.79 for the jack and $34.64 for the lug wrench!
Make an offer and replace your non-OEM jack or get a spare . . . because you never know when you might need two!
SHIFT BOOT RETAINING RING
Price: $5
SHIFT BOOT RETAINING RING holds the shift boot to the center console. The photo clearly shows that all the retaining ring clips are INTACT! The shift boot will have to be attached to this ring, but if you have a shift boot in excellent condition with a broken ring, don't pay more than necessary - retrofit yours today!
YOU SAVE over $5! Dealership price for original equipment replacement (including the boot) is $12.66.
Make an offer and stop that shift boot from doing its annoying dance!
