If you have been hunting for a modern classic that balances usability, style, and a fun overall experience, the BMW E30 3-Series is a great option. They are fun to drive, modern enough to be easy to live with but not overly complicated, and they look great. The convertible adds open-air appeal to that formula, and clean examples have become increasingly difficult to find. This 1990 BMW 325iC is finished in red over tan leather, shows 57,500 miles, and has benefited from recent cosmetic and mechanical work. Located in Hereford, Arizona, it is now offered at auction with a reserve.
Power comes from BMW’s 2.5-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The seller states that work under current ownership included fluid changes, a new fuel pump, and removal, cleaning, and replacement of the injectors. The car is equipped with air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, power locks, power side mirrors, an onboard computer, and an aftermarket CD stereo.
The exterior is finished in its original shade of red but was reportedly repainted in 2021. Details include 14-inch bottle-cap wheels, fog lights, dual exhaust outlets, and a beige convertible soft top. The seller notes that the replacement soft top was fitted in 2022, which is an important update on any E30 convertible. The photos show a clean, attractive presentation with the classic E30 proportions that have aged so well.
Inside, the cabin features tan leather upholstery, front sport seats, and a matching rear bench. The seller states that the seats were reupholstered in 2022, and the photos show a tidy interior with clean door panels, carpets, dashboard, and center console. The automatic shifter, factory instrumentation, climate controls, and aftermarket stereo are all visible in the gallery. While not a 325is, convertibles received many of the desirable sport parts, making them a great value.
This 325iC was initially delivered to BMW Auto Center of Houston, Texas, and reportedly remained registered in Texas through the seller’s acquisition in 2023. It is offered with a clean title. Known issues include an airbag light that stays on and an inoperative right-side mirror. These cars are well supported, with lots of documentation and parts supply.
The E30 convertible has moved beyond used-car status and into the modern-classic world, especially when mileage, condition, and presentation are strong. This example offers the right look, attractive colors, recent upholstery and soft-top work, and the fantastic 2.5-liter six-cylinder engine. For someone seeking a clean, usable E30 convertible that has already received meaningful attention, this 1990 BMW 325iC deserves a closer look.
