This is a 1986 BMW 325E finished in Diamond black metallic paint (paint code: 181) over a houndstooth cloth interior with leather. The 325E was originally fitted with an M20 2.0L inline six-cylinder engine from factory that was mated to an automatic transmission. The seller opted to replace this powertrain to a more potent package from an E36 3-series coupe. This included an M52B28 2.8L inline six-cylinder engine mated to the matching 5-speed manual transmission. This engine is said to have been recently rebuilt and installed. Factory highlights include air conditioning, cruise control and a powered glass sunroof.
