This 1989 BMW 324td Touring is a European-market example that was imported to the US in 2017 and was acquired by the seller in 2019. It is finished in silver over black and violet Design Edition cloth and is powered by a replacement 2.5-liter M51 diesel inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 17″ AZEV wheels, H&R Sport springs, an M-Tech 2 rear spoiler, a sunroof, projector headlights, fog lights, an M-Tech 1 steering wheel, and power windows, mirrors, and locks. Service under current ownership has included the replacement of the fan clutch, tensioner pulley, and idler pulleys.
The exterior was reportedly refinished in silver under previous ownership and features Euro-spec projector headlights, fog lights, a sunroof, painted mirror caps, a rear window wiper, a single exhaust outlet, and an M-Tech 2 rear spoiler. The seller believes the car was involved in a front-end collision under previous ownership as the hood is misaligned and shows paint cracking on the right front. Additional paint cracks, chips, and faded spots are noted, and an Alpina front valence will aLompany the car along with the removed rear spoiler.
17″ AZEV Type A wheels are wrapped in 205/40 Milestar MS932 Sport front and 215/50 Nexen N’Priz AH5 rear tires. H&R Sport springs were installed and the brake calipers were powder-coated under current ownership.
The cabin features sport seats upholstered in black and violet Design Edition cloth along with matching door panels. Equipment includes a heater, an AM/FM cassette stereo, a clock, a leather-wrapped shift knob, floor mats, and power front windows, mirrors, and locks. Wear can be seen on the front seat bottoms and bolsters, and the head unit is not connected.
The leather-wrapped M-Tech 1 steering wheel fronts a 240-km/h speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel economy, and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer indicates 224k kilometers (~139k miles), approximately 1k of which were added by the seller. The instrument cluster and analog clock were reportedly refurbished under current ownership and fitted with adjustable LED backlights and violet needles.
The 2.5-liter M51 diesel inline-six was reportedly sourced from a 1995 BMW E38 model and was installed under previous ownership in Italy. Service during current ownership has included the replacement of the fan clutch, tensioner pulley, idler pulleys, and belt. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission.
