1989 BMW 325iX Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1989 BMW 325iX widens to two bodies, a four-door sedan and a two-door coupe, both carrying the 2.5L SOHC inline-six of 152 cubic inches, naturally aspirated and gasoline-fueled, in Base trim. The engine and driveline material serves both, and the difference between them shows up in the body sections and the wiring diagrams, where door, lighting and interior circuits follow different routes through each shell.

Known issues on the 1989 325iX. This is a manual for measuring rather than guessing. The inline-six is covered with valve clearances, timing data, fuel and ignition specifications, and the torque value for each fastener that comes out during a rebuild. Driveline, brake, steering and suspension work have their own procedures and settings, and the body sections take the sedan and the coupe separately, with wiring diagrams complete enough to trace a circuit from end to end on either one.
