1992 BMW 325i Convertible Part-Out Rare Late Model E30 Arrival

A rare late-model E30 convertible just arrived for parts, and this one has the pieces many owners are usually hunting for.

This 1992 BMW 325i Convertible is being parted out only. It is not being offered as a complete car, project car, or restoration candidate. All remaining parts are available unless marked sold below.

The big items on this car are the late facelift plastic bumpers, a complete electric power convertible top setup, a complete running 2.5L M20 six-cylinder engine, beige convertible-specific interior parts, crack-free lighting, basketweave wheels, and several late-model E30 body and trim pieces.

Smaller parts ship 7 days a week. Larger parts are local pickup or delivery only, with delivery available within 100 miles for an extra charge.

Quick Details

Why this late-model E30 convertible matters for parts

The 1992 model year sits at the end of the U.S. E30 convertible run, which makes this arrival useful for owners trying to keep a late car correct.

Late E30 convertible parts can be tough to find in usable condition. Even more so when the car still has its facelift plastic bumpers, convertible-specific interior, electric top components, and clean lighting.

This is exactly the kind of donor car that helps finish a stalled repair or bring a driver-quality E30 back into shape. Many parts are convertible-only, late-model-only, or simply difficult to find without cracks, broken tabs, water damage, or heavy wear.

This arrival is especially useful for:

• Late E30 convertible owners fixing accident damage

• Owners converting damaged or missing bumper assemblies back to proper late plastic bumpers

• Convertible owners chasing top motors, arms, linkages, switches, seals, and trim

• M20 owners needing a complete running engine or related engine accessories

• Interior buyers looking for beige convertible-specific panels, seats, carpet, and trim

• E30 owners needing clean lighting, front sheet metal, or small hard-to-find hardware

  
  

This post is meant to make the part-out clear. If a part is still on the car and not marked sold, it is available to request.

Available major drivetrain parts

The car arrived with a complete running 2.5L M20 6-cylinder engine. For many E30 owners, that is the main reason to check this part-out early.

The M20B25 is still one of the most practical engines to keep an E30 on the road. It is simple by modern BMW standards, well supported, and familiar to most independent BMW shops. A complete running setup is useful for owners dealing with tired engines, broken timing components, overheating damage, wiring issues, or incomplete swap projects.

Available drivetrain and engine-related parts include:

• Running 2.5L M20 6-cylinder engine

• Engine wire harness and accessories

• Automatic transmission and driveshaft

• 13-button OBC conversion kit

• 4.10 LSD differential

The engine wire harness and accessories are worth asking about if you are trying to correct a hacked engine bay, replacing fire-damaged wiring, or finishing an M20 setup that came missing small but important pieces.

The automatic transmission and driveshaft are also available for owners keeping a convertible automatic on the road. Convertibles often lived softer lives than track cars, but age still catches up with mounts, seals, wiring, and drivetrain components. If you need related brackets, plugs, cooler lines, mounts, or hardware, ask when sending the request.

The 4.10 LSD differential has already sold. That is no surprise, since limited-slip E30 differentials move quickly, especially when pulled from late cars and convertibles.

Late-model exterior parts and lighting

Late-model E30 exterior parts are always in demand because many cars have been bumped, modified, or repaired with mismatched parts over the years.

This convertible has the facelift late-model plastic bumper setup, along with reinforcement bars and other exterior pieces that are useful for repairs or correct late-model conversions.

Available exterior parts include:

• Front and rear plastic bumpers

• Front and rear bumper reinforcement bars

• Late-model front fender set

• Both doors

• Hood

• Trunk

• Crack-free late-model taillights

• Crack-free front headlights

• Rust-free battery box tray - Redone

The plastic bumpers are one of the standout items here. Late E30 plastic bumper parts can be difficult to source complete, especially when trying to match the correct brackets, shocks, reinforcement bars, trim, and related mounting pieces.

If you only need part of the bumper setup, ask. Some buyers need the outer bumper cover. Others need shocks, brackets, side trim, absorber pieces, hardware, or reinforcement bars. BMW Buyers of New England can confirm what is still available and whether it makes sense to pull the piece separately.

The crack-free late-model taillights are another strong part from this car. E30 taillights commonly suffer from cracks, seal issues, broken studs, faded lenses, or water intrusion. A clean pair can make a big difference on a late convertible.

The rust-free battery box tray has been redone, which may be useful for anyone repairing rear battery area rust or collision damage. Larger cut sections are not shipped, but local pickup or paid delivery may be possible depending on the size of the cut and distance.

Convertible top parts and beige interior

The complete electric power convertible top and related components are available from this car. For E30 convertible owners, those parts are often harder to find than regular coupe or sedan parts because many pieces are specific to the cabrio.

Available convertible top parts include:

• Complete electric power top and components

• Convertible-specific trims and seals

• Top frame pieces

• Power top hardware

• Electric top parts and related components

  
  

If the power top on your E30 is slow, damaged, missing parts, or previously converted poorly, this donor car may have what you need. Be specific when requesting top parts. Note whether you need motors, linkage, frame pieces, switches, brackets, latches, seals, trim covers, or hardware.

The beige convertible-specific interior is also being parted.

Available interior parts include:

• Convertible-specific beige interior

• Beige door panels

• Beige carpet

• Beige seats

• Convertible-specific trims and seals

• 13-button OBC conversion kit

• Instrument cluster

Convertible interiors differ from coupe and sedan interiors in several places, especially around rear panels, trim, seat fitment, and seals. If you are trying to keep a cabrio correct, buying known convertible parts can save time and frustration.

The beige panels, carpet, and seats are helpful for owners restoring or repairing a factory beige interior. Even if you do not need a complete interior, smaller pieces are often the hardest to find when finishing a car.

Common requests include:

• Door panel trim

• Rear side panels

• Seat pieces

• Carpet sections

• Console parts

• Kick panels

• Seat belt trim

• Convertible-specific seals

• Small clips and brackets

  
  

The instrument cluster is already sold. If you need other dash or interior electrical parts, ask with details. There may still be switches, wiring, trim, fasteners, or related parts available from this car or from other donor cars in inventory.

Wheels, trim, seals, and smaller E30 parts

Along with the major parts, this 1992 convertible has many smaller items that matter when finishing an E30.

Available items include:

• Two sets of 14-inch basketweave wheels

• Convertible-specific trims and seals

• Crack-free front headlights

• Crack-free late-model taillights

• 13-button OBC conversion kit

• Engine accessories

• Body hardware

• Interior hardware

• Exterior trim

• Convertible hardware

  
  

The two sets of 14-inch basketweave wheels are useful for owners who want a correct factory-style E30 look. These wheels are common enough to feel familiar, but clean sets are not always easy to find. They are often bent, corroded, missing caps, or refinished poorly.

Smaller trim and seal parts are also worth asking about early. E30 convertibles use a lot of small model-specific pieces that are easy to overlook until the car is half assembled.

Examples include:

• Top compartment trim

• Window seals

• Door seals

• Beltline trim

• Convertible rear trim pieces

• Bumper trim clips

• Fender hardware

• Hood and trunk hardware

• Interior screws and covers

• Light mounting hardware

  
  

Small pieces can be the difference between a repair that looks finished and one that still feels incomplete. Include photos if possible when requesting small trim parts. A quick picture of the missing area helps identify the correct piece faster.
