    FS - '90 Coupe Manual iX

    ***SOLD*** Thank you.

    Quicks: 192,800 miles
    Two real POs (both women) before me and I've only put 7,000 kind miles on it.
    9/10 interior (driver seat has classic wear) otherwise very clean
    8/10 original alpine white paint
    10/10 mechanic/driving pleasure
    8/10 body (small tiny on hood, see description for the other two)
    No reported accidents, clean title. Passed emission and PA inspection yesterday cleanly.
    Slight and isolated rust (only on bottom right part of bumper, not visible or infectious)
    Truly drives perfectly, very tight, fast, smooth. Tcase and driveshaft are perfect. AWD is severely sweet. I'd trust it to drive to Alaska and back in an ice storm.
    Everything works as it should (except antenna is disconnected) AC is very cold. Front rotors are starting to warp and will eventually need replacing.
    I have an anally detailed maintenance spreadsheet for its last 80K miles as well as over 30 service receipts

    $4,500. NO TRADES unless you have an S14 and need some cash. Seriously, show me your M3, that's what this is all about.
    The car is 25 min south of Pittsburgh, PA in Washington, PA - come drive it and buy it!

    Longs:
    I had this car for sale this spring but couldn't part with it. I have since bought and fixed up a cheaper iX and want to make room for an E30 M3. This is the car that makes the most 'sense' to let go though I will certainly regret it the next day.

    Since I've owned it, I had the rear shocks done (stock sachs), installed a custom MarkD 91 chip, swapped for black sport seats w/rear headrests, put premium stock radio in, bought basketweave caps, roof rack, and had the timing belt replaced. BONE stock aside from chip. As you see in photos, I put a momo wheel on but will likely swap the airbag wheel back on for the sale and the roof racks will not go with the sale. I just did the oil change with BMW oil and stock mann filter. Brand new stock air filter as well. Also new center console and glove box latch. AC and heat are tremendous. Comes with a few extra goodies like a original Alpine CD changer, OEM speakers including tweets and if you really want, perhaps the original leather interior seats. Just had a BMW master mechanic who did the t-belt give it an inspection I and he said truly it was in perfect mechanical shape and needed nothing at all and the t-belt may not have even needed changing.

              SOLD. And looking in my driveway, the sadness sets in... just let go of a good one. Went to the perfect buyer who will keep her up and probably fix the cosmetic issues I never go to. And now the search for the M3 begins.

                Bumping this thread back up -- I am the current owner of this (sweet) IX, but my wife and I are expecting another child this July and we need a car that can fit another car seat with a little more ease. I am 220+ lbs and getting kids into and out of the back seat is a bit tough for me. Good news for us, but bad for the IX. :)

                Since I bought this car from the previous owner (stand-up guy btw) I have had a few items fixed, the most expensive two have been 4 new tires (with less than 10k miles on them), a new fuel pump, and then a few minor items (new power antennae - that needs to be replaced again), along with a few oil changes and a detail (clay / Zaino).

                I did repair the odometer it was "skipping" miles. Had this fixed within 1k miles of buying the car and it was a minor fix (needed only one gear). I am at ~202k miles now.

                On the short list of things the car needs is front rotors (mentioned above as they are still warped, but a-ok otherwise), leaking trunk (only major rust on car is under the battery tray), minor rust around the door locks, under the hood, nothing appears major, the tachometer light is flaky, and some of the dents (cosmetic issues mentioned above) still need to be popped out.

                If I were keeping the car, the longer list would include a radiator and cooling system flush (maybe new radiator this summer?), new under hood liner, and a new shift knob. I put aside money each month and plan out when I might want to do routine / preventative maintenance (cooling system seems the next logic place to go).

                I supposed I could start a new thread, but this thread gives some history on the car. I'd be open to offers around $4,300 (which is less than what I have into the car - paid price and the items I mentioned above). For offers less than that, I'll just keep this as a winter car...willing to have a fair price, but not trying to lose all that much on this car (paying for 6 months of use is one thing, giving it away is another).

                Car is in Leesburg VA.
