    1991 M5 FS. S38 donor car/Parts/Project. $5k obo.

    So sadly my plans to part off my e30 stuff to fund the M5 has been spoiled. I have taken a job offer in LA and am forced to sell my pride and joy. I am sad to see it go, but I know it is for the best and there will be another one in the future.

    So to the details. There is really a lot to cover in detail so I will give you some key points and a few pics to get an idea of what you are dealing with. If you are seriously interested, PM me and I'll give you my phone number so we can discuss the car in detail.

    1991 US spec M5
    141,706 miles
    Alpine white with dove grey interior
    Almost complete and original.
    Missing factory rear bumper (has standard e34 bumper in place)
    Self leveling rear suspension has been swapped out for Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs
    Stock lights upgraded with mint euro ellipsoids
    Alpine head unit
    Sony Xplode rear speakers
    Replica ACS shift knob, parking brake handle and pedal set

    Things that are a plus:
    Brand new never installed Sachs oem clutch kit inlcuded
    5 factory M-system wheels with turbine covers
    new oil pump, rod bearings, fuel pump, sending unit all installed with few miles on them
    clean ca title
    new rear sub frame bushings never been installed

    Things that bring the price down:
    Car was in an accident and sustained unibody damage. (was repaired but quite poorly in my opinion)
    interior could use refurbishing
    engine starts but runs rough
    transmission has 2nd gear syncros failing

    This by no means covers all the details of the car. I planned on restoring it however must sell for reasons mentioned above. It would honestly be a very good candidate for a donor car though. The bottom end is sorted. I would recommend upgrading the timing chain tensioner to the s50 type, but the internals of the engine should be solid. I have not fully diagnosed the drivability issue, however it is missing on one cylinder and I believe it to be in the ignition system. That means if you pick up the car. Pull the motor and sell the rest of the parts you should have more then enough to replace all the outside little things and have a solid running s38 for your e30 or what ever car you decide to put it in. On the other hand you may decide to restore a clean title e34 M5!

    Here is a picture of the car when I was driving it regularly. The ACS type 2 wheels are no longer available. Car has current registration in california but is registered non op at the moment.

    I am located in North San Diego County, CA.

    Cheers,

    Brian

          Thanks guys. I really need to get this thing gone by the end of June. As for the accident, it happened before I got the car, but it looks like it hit a curb with the back wheel and then tapped the front and back on something lightly. All the body panels are original with matching vins, but some of them probably should have been replaced instead of patched.

          Cheers,

          Brian

              Wow, if my car had sold last month like it was supposed to I would buy this and ship it. This is exactly what I was looking for, timing sucks! Any more pictures of it?

                  If I understand correctly, shipping a car should cost in the $800 range. I would be willing to deduct up to that much off the original price if someone out of state is serious.

                  Thanks for the compliments. I will try and get some more pics up this weekend. Like I said, this is really tough on me, but I need to get some cash together before July so I can have a smooth transition into LA. I know it is for the best, and hopefully next year I'll be back on my feet and in the market for another M5. Maybe this time even a touring!

                  Cheers,

                        If you have to ask that you don't want this car.

                              I will get some pics up tomorrow or Monday.

                              The car is, like all M5's with the exception of the new SMG, a manual transmission.

                              I honestly have never shipped a car before but I can look into it and get back to you.

                              I go to school in Ontario and can come out to LA most days if I have a little notice in advance. However the car cannot be driven up there in the state it is in.
