Car: 1988 325ix

Motor: M20B25

Color: Diamantschwarz Metallic

Mileage: 270,000 and still going strong!!

This is my 1988 BMW 325ix. I got this car $400 because it was sitting at a garage for two years. Then I put about $8000 into it to get looking and going like it does today. Oh yea, the car is four wheel drive and BMW only imported 2,647 of this model into the U.S. through out its production period. After 1988 all of the standard equipment such as the electric sunroof, 13 button OBC, M-Technic sport package, etc where all optional and cost extra. This model of the car is the most desireable for 325ix enthusiasts and it is also the most rare of the breed. only 310 '88 models where imported into the U.S.

you mention that there were only 310 1988 BMW 325 IX's imported to the US in 1988. Would you provide me with your source information. I am restoring my 325 IX and this information will certainly assist in researching its history. Thank you in advance.
