Well...I'll tell you how I missed it. He didn't put 'BMW' in the title of the Craigslist ad. :D

[brandondan1]

glws, sucks that you're leaving the e30 scene..

[houstonh]

thanks guys.

Thanks for the note on the title Mike.. I knew I was missing something !!! :)

Interior: crap pics.. I need to clean the car !!!!

TOE SHOT!!! (that steering wheel is not include BTW)


wow it has a stock cluster :)

ARC2.. used to be mounted but I keep it in the glove box now.


I am going to clean it up and get some better shots.


I just bought a 67 VW Fastback. I don't know what possessed me... this thing needs a shitload of work, but I wanted a care that was older than me.

[kway]

Holy fuckin hell, MOMO Quasars! My very first BMW ('87 'vert) rode on a set of those way back in the day. I've always wanted to re-create that car. Any interest in selling them?

[iwantspeed]

very nice car sir.
good luck with the sale.
with those stats I dont think you will have a hard time selling her.

[madformx5]

I had seen your ad on CL. Your car looks like you have done a lot of work to it. I would keep the e30 but GLWS. Are any of the e30s older than you?

Hah! not quite (i'm 30)

I am finally getting my ass in gear to sell the car. I have to admit I am having a real hard time letting go.
