*** Car is SOLD ***
It's time to get serious about selling my 530. This is a really nice V8 powered e34 with some nice mods done to it. Sits nice, drives nice, and of course is a 5-speed manual. It's a 15 year old car so it does have some of the normal e34 issues, but over all is a great example.
The good -
White on black color combo, one of the best in my opinion.
Always been a Texas car, no snow
5-speed manual, pretty rare with the 530i
Dinan Chip
Dinan cat-back exhaust
M5 springs on the front (I have the rears, just haven't installed them yet)
M5 true forged throwing star wheels. (these are worth somewhere around $800 alone)
Very clean interior only issue is the headliner sagging
Clean straight body, one dent in driver's front fender, couple small dings. Some of the car has been painted
No rust except small spot (see below under bad)
Alpine CD/MP3 deck
Cold air intake K&N filter
New front and brake pads
New front rotors (needs rears and sensors)
New battery from WalMart 2 months ago
New fan clutch
Cold AC just charged last month
Bav Auto carbon shift knob
New cabin filter
The bad -
189k miles, although it doesn't show it or drive like it
Passenger front window doesn't go back up without help FIXED
Passenger front door doesn't lock with central locking FIXED
One of the rear windows won't go up without help FIXED
Strange rust spot on driver's A-pilar, easy fix
Rear brake rotors and pads need replaced
Tires are getting bad (I have 4 others I can include)
Sometimes cold blooded for first 30-seconds
I haven't checked the windows or door lock issue, probably an easy fix, and I planned on fixing it as well as the A-pillar but I need to sell the car now.
Looking for $4,000 obo. I can provide a plane ticket to Houston and transportation from the airport for anyone that gives a deposit on the car. Also willing to take a partial trade for something else interesting - e30, e28, pontoon boat, etc.
Here's some pics I just took. The rest are here (http://jalbum.net/browse/user/album/621077/)
