1989 BMW 325i Motorsport Cabriolet - 66,250 miles

For serious collectors of classic BMWs, finding an authentic 1989 325i Motorsport Cabriolet is a rare treat, but finding one in this condition is almost unheard of. Showing just 66,250 miles from new, this genuine factory 1989 Motorsport Edition (Option 796) was built in July 1989 and registered through Sundridge BMW. Finished in what is widely considered the ultimate colour combination of Metallic Macao Blue with a brand new blue mohair power assisted roof, this GB specification (Code 812) example represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable open top performance cars of its era. The exterior presents in superb order following a comprehensive bare metal respray to an exacting standard, perfectly complemented by factory Shadowline de-chroming, headlight wash wipe, green tinted glass, and 15 inch cross spoke alloys fitted with fresh Continental Ultra Contact tyres. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in full Grey Motorsport leather with the iconic M Technic steering wheel, on board computer, electric windows, electric mirrors and central locking. The car is accompanied by its complete original handbook pack and a vast history file with plenty of paperwork. Mechanically, in April 2026 this Motorsport Edition has just benefitted from an extensive, zero compromise mechanical overhaul by Custodian Classics. The top end of the legendary 2.5 litre engine was completely refreshed with a skimmed cylinder head, new head gasket set, new head bolts, and replacement valve stem oil seals, alongside a full engine service, fresh coolant flush, new water pump, thermostat, inlet rubber hose, and a Gates timing belt kit. The chassis received equal dedication, benefitting from four replacement springs, new KYB front shock inserts, Bosch flexi brake hoses, fresh front brake pads, new anti roll bar drop links, and a replacement heater blower motor, ensuring every operational component is completely sorted. On the road, the naturally aspirated M20 straight six, factory specified without a catalyser (Option 200) delivers a glorious soundtrack and eager power delivery through its switchable EH automatic gearbox. Mated with factory M Technic sports suspension, power steering, and ABS braking, it offers a beautifully balanced and communicative driving experience that reminds you why the E30 platform set the benchmark for driver engagement. With its incredible rarity, documented history, stunning Macao Blue colour way, and comprehensive mechanical sorting, this 325i Motorsport Cabriolet is a turnkey modern classic ready to be driven and cherished.
