White 1987 BMW 325i E30 four-door donor car in Connecticut

A white 1987 BMW 325i four-door has arrived at BMW Buyers of New England for a complete part-out. This is a parts-only inventory post—the car is not being offered as a complete vehicle.

This E30 has a blue interior, an automatic transmission, and a running 2.5L M20B25 six-cylinder engine. The car has seen better days and has already been picked over, but many useful mechanical, electrical, interior, body, lighting, suspension, and trim parts remain available.

All parts listed below are available unless already sold. If you do not see what you need, ask anyway. We currently have parts from approximately 98 BMW donor cars and receive new inventory regularly.

Running M20B25 Drivetrain and Electrical Parts

The major highlight from this donor is its running 2.5L M20B25 engine. This is the fuel-injected six-cylinder used in the 325i, and it can provide a useful complete assembly or individual components for another E30 project.

Available drivetrain and electrical items include:

  • Complete running 2.5L M20B25 six-cylinder engine

  • Engine wiring harness and accessories

  • Complete engine control unit (ECU/CPU)

  • Automatic transmission with driveshaft

  • Complete 13-button onboard computer kit

  • Complete cruise-control kit

  • Fuse box and wiring connectors

  • Windshield-wiper motor

  • Additional relays, pigtails, brackets, hardware, and electrical components by request

If you need only one engine accessory, connector, bracket, harness section, sensor, or related component, send a detailed request. Include your BMW's year and model, along with a photo or part number whenever possible.

Blue Interior and Driver-Comfort Parts

The blue interior has already lost some pieces, but several useful early E30 components remain. These parts may help complete a sedan restoration or replace worn and missing hardware.

Remaining interior and comfort items include:

  • Rear blue bench seat with headrests and mounting brackets

  • Front-seat seat belts

  • Three of the four early-model window motors

  • Complete 13-button OBC kit

  • Complete cruise-control kit

  • Premium rear-deck speakers

  • Front premium tweeter

  • Switches, trim, connectors, brackets, and smaller interior hardware by request

Early-model E30 electrical and interior parts can vary by production date and body style. When requesting a part, note whether it is for the driver or passenger side and front or rear.

Body Panels, Lighting, Glass, and Exterior Parts

Despite the overall condition of the donor, it still has a useful selection of white body panels and exterior components. Ask for current close-up photos if paint, rust, dents, chips, or exact condition are important.

Available exterior parts include:

  • Rust-free front fenders for both sides

  • White hood

  • White trunk lid

  • White doors

  • Sunroof panel and related accessories

  • Front headlights

  • Side mirrors

  • Rear window or rear glass components

  • Rear taillights, with one small chip noted

  • Front and rear aluminum bumpers

  • Additional trim, brackets, fasteners, clips, wiring, and body hardware by request

Large panels, glass, bumpers, and other bulky pieces are best handled through local pickup or regional delivery. Send the exact part needed and your location so availability and delivery pricing can be confirmed.

Suspension and Chassis Parts

Front and rear suspension components are also available from this donor. Depending on what has already sold, this may include assemblies, arms, brackets, hubs, mounts, hardware, and related chassis pieces.

  • Front suspension components

  • Rear suspension components

  • Mounting brackets and hardware

  • Front and rear aluminum bumpers

  • Additional underbody and chassis parts by request

If you need a particular suspension part, describe its location or send a photo. That helps identify the correct component and avoids confusion between early and late E30 hardware.

Pickup, Delivery, and Shipping

Local pickup is available in CT 06226 seven days a week.

Large and heavy items are not shipped. This generally includes the engine, transmission, driveshaft, body panels, doors, hood, trunk, glass, bumpers, suspension assemblies, and other bulky components.

Delivery may be available within approximately 100 miles for an additional fee. Cost and availability depend on the part, distance, and schedule. Include your ZIP code when requesting a delivery quote.

If You Do Not See It Listed, Ask

This 1987 BMW 325i has already been picked over, but a complete part-out includes many smaller components that never make it into the main inventory list. Connectors, switches, relays, pigtails, clips, brackets, fasteners, trim pieces, wiring, repair sections, and other hardware may still be available.

BMW Buyers of New England also has approximately 98 BMW donor cars' worth of other parts. Follow @BMWBUYERSOFNEWENGLAND on the website, Instagram, and Marketplace for new arrivals and weekly inventory updates.

This white 1987 BMW 325i is being parted out now. The running M20B25 engine, automatic transmission with driveshaft, electrical equipment, blue interior pieces, rust-free fenders, body panels, lights, glass, bumpers, suspension parts, wiring, connectors, and many smaller E30 components are available unless already sold.

Message BMW Buyers of New England with the part you need and mention the white 1987 325i sedan donor. Include your ZIP code and let us know whether you plan to pick up locally or need a delivery quote.
