Vehicle Description

1986 BMW 325

- Same Owner For 13 Years
- 2.7L I6
- 5 Speed Manual Transmission
- 187,147 Miles
- Charcoal Grey Exterior
- Black Interior

This 1986 BMW 325 is a beautifully preserved example of the legendary E30 generation, a platform widely regarded as one of the greatest driver-focused sports sedans BMW ever produced. Finished in elegant Charcoal Grey over a black interior, this classic 3-Series delivers timeless styling, balanced performance, and the analog driving experience that has made the E30 a favorite among enthusiasts for decades. Owned by the same enthusiast for the past 13 years, this 325 reflects long-term care and appreciation for one of BMW's most iconic models.

Power comes from BMW's durable and smooth-running 2.7L inline-six engine, known for its strong low-end torque and refined character. Paired with a highly desirable 5-speed manual transmission, this E30 offers the engaging, connected driving feel that helped establish BMW's reputation as The Ultimate Driving Machine. The combination of rear-wheel drive, balanced chassis dynamics, and precise manual shifting creates an experience that modern cars often struggle to replicate.

The E30 generation has become increasingly collectible thanks to its lightweight construction, simple mechanical design, and exceptional road manners. Enthusiasts continue to praise these cars for their steering feel, balanced handling, and classic BMW engineering. Whether cruising city streets or carving through winding back roads, the E30 remains one of the purest driving experiences of its era.

The charcoal grey exterior gives this 325 a clean and understated appearance that perfectly complements the E30's timeless body lines and signature BMW styling cues. Inside, the black interior maintains a purposeful and driver-focused layout, featuring the simple ergonomics and classic dashboard design that defined BMW throughout the 1980s. With 187,147 miles, this car stands as a testament to the longevity and engineering quality that made these BMWs so respected worldwide.

Long-term ownership is always a desirable characteristic in vintage European cars, and this example's 13 years with the same owner adds to its appeal. Well-kept E30s continue to attract strong attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike, particularly clean manual-transmission examples that preserve the authentic BMW driving experience.

Whether you're searching for a classic daily driver, an entry into vintage European motoring, or a collectible analog sports car, this 1986 BMW 325 delivers timeless design, engaging performance, and legendary BMW character in one highly desirable package.

About Garage Kept Motors

 Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.

For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.

For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen though we do recommend to check the vehicle out in person or have a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) done. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
