We have come to the conclusion that it is a wonderful car but a person has to draw the line somewhere between time and investment.
I've put a mountain of money and time into it and now the wife lost her job.
She's a stay at homer now with our daughter until/if she can find more work.
Our dream car must go.
Calypso Rot (DEEP burgundy) beauty with tan leather interior.
The list of repairs and items replaced is staggering.
I've done all the Inspection 2 items AND most if not ALL of the "E34 problems".
Save yourself the headache.....I've taken all the Excedrin for you! :)

$4995 FIRM, CASH, no trades and it's yours.
Car is located 25 miles south of St. Louis, MO.
Off of interstate highway, easy to find.
Car sold as-is, where-is, no warranty expressed/implied/written and all sales are final.
No, I will not deliver.
No, I cannot meet you somewhere "between here and there".
It is solely the responsibility of the new owner to pick up the car or have it shipped.
Please e-mail me with any questions and if you'd like pictures.
I have MANY pictures available.
Condition? The car is VERY, VERY NICE, not a museum piece by any means but a daily driver you can be VERY proud of!!!
I have FAR MORE than the asking price invested in this Bimmer.
It does have a few chips and a scratch here and there but shines up VERY well...what a FANTASTIC color. This is a DAILY driver, NOT a show car. The driver's seat and it's arm rest have some cracking but not tears. Doesn't use ANY oil between oil changes and runs fabulous, shifts great and handles like a BMW should. Tires are between 40 and 60% tread, just rotated/balanced.
Thanks to everyone on this board.
You've all helped me in one way or another with your problems or whenever I posted for my issues.
You're a great bunch.
If it weren't for you and BMA, I could NEVER afford to own such a fabulous car as a BMW.
Thanks again,
Bill
