Looking for a nice, affordable BMW?

Fun to drive, sporty German sedan. Easy to park. ~30mpg on highway.
E30 body (4 door, silver)
M42 engine (1.8litre 16v 4 cylinder, electronic fuel injection, solid-state distributor)
5-speed manual Getrag transmission
Includes 4 almost-new snow tires for winter driving.

I am the son of the original owners; car has never left the family. Car was garaged in Texas for 6 years (no road salt), garaged in Washington state for 10 years (no road salt). 2 years garaged in Grinnell, IA (no winter driving). For the past two years, garaged near Iowa City and used as a winter commuting car last winter. Selling to make room for a newer 3-series BMW.

I have all original paperwork and maintenance records. Comes with spare parts, oil, and antifreeze. Original stereo with cassette deck, sunroof, electric windows, electric locks.
4 headlights (2HB, 2LB) + fog/driving lights.

New rear brakes and spark plugs. Oil, oil filter, and alternator/water pump belt just changed. Interstate battery, 2.5 years old.

AC worked fine until 2009. If you want AC, you will have to take it to an AC shop.

Car has < 128,000 miles.
