1988 735i- Factory 5-spd w/LSD

[vlad]

Funny thing is, I know somebody looking for something to trailer their track car with. Message me some details and I will forward them to him. Could possibly work out a 3-way deal type of thing and we'll all be happy.

PM sent :up:

Still available.

Been getting a lot of trade offers, but not interested. Can make an even better deal for an all-cash offer.

The guy I was telling you backed out.. his wife isn't having it. :(

I've owned this car before (Not this exact one, but model w/ engine) and it is an absolute pleasure to drive. You won't be dissapointed. It was very realiable, decent gas mileage, and comfortable as hell to drive/ride in. These are rare in manual too.

wow how did i miss this thread. beautiful car..very tempted to make an offer!

No problem, Mike. He's not the first person to make an offer and then disappear. As low as it was, I probably would have taken his offer if he was a serious buyer. Nobody has even came to see it in person yet. I feel like when someone sees it with their own eyes, that they won't be able to pass it by.

Reliable is an understatement. If anybody here is a CCA member and gets Roundel magazine, turn to page 12 in this month's issue. There is an article on somebody who has one of these with over 600,000 original miles on the original engine, and daily drives it. He even says he changes the oil at 50,000 mile intervals (which is nuts). It is also not uncommon to find them for sale with over 300,000 miles on various classifieds sites. The reason they are rare with a manual transmission is because, if you could afford this car and wanted it more "sporty", you opted for the M5 which was cheaper. Therefor, not many 5-speed cars were produced. This is actually the only 5-speed E32 for sale in the country.

Go right ahead, I will probably take it unless its something silly.



Some people asked for additional photos, so I'll just put them in here.

The only rust on the whole car (White325is can vouch). This is the heat shielding for the muffler, the muffler itself is rust-free, this is the outer shield only.



One dent on the trunk, I believe there was a photo of this in the original post. No paint is scratched or chipped, just a dent that can be pulled out.



Here is every little rock chip or ding that I could find on the exterior.









Here are two "stains" that I found on the carpet. While taking these photos, I tried rubbing on one and it came out completely, so a normal carpet cleaner should make all of it disappear altogether.





The only other imperfections I could find in the interior were an ink mark on the center console; and a worn shift knob.





This I wouldn't really say is something wrong, but I took a photo of it anyway. The emblems in the original center caps were starting to chip, so I purchased these new ones for the car. I suppose the wheels have faded a bit over the years, so the new center caps are a slight shade of silver off and do not match exactly. I still have the originals for the buyer to see/keep/etc.



Here is just showing the tread depth to show that the tires are new.



Then I just took a photo of the front and rear to show that all the lights are working properly.

let's do that 3-way deal type of thing and we'll all be happy :up:

[White325is]

he wants a e30. So unless your offering one of them instead of that truck he might be interested.

That guy I knew who was looking for something to haul his race trailer actually picked up a used Nissan Titan a week ago. Unfortunately I'm not looking to straight trade the 735 for another car right now. The only trade I would consider would be a stock E30 + a good amount of cash.

[Cscat87]

More trade offers received, but really looking to sell straight out. Will make a much better deal with someone for an all-cash deal. Want to sell ASAP, so if you might be interested, send me a message and we can work something out. This is the car to have for the BMW enthusiast who has it all, you won't find another like it.

God, I want it so bad!

seriously, dream car. I just have too many as it is and I'm not in a place where I can sell one.

I understand what you mean, I know what its like to just have too many vehicles. If you change your mind, let me know and I'll make sure the deal is good enough to warrant you coming from so far away.

Another one of these actually popped up for sale on the other side of the country. A bit more miles than mine but overall looks like a clean ride. Whoever gets this car for the price I'll let it go for is LUCKY.

I'm not one to tell others what to do, however I sense a hastiness to sell in your posts and let someone buy it for less than it's worth to you. Unless you really need the cash, be patient--it's a rare beauty and the right buyer will appreciate this and give you a fair offer. I really desire this car, but three vehicles is my limit. Good luck.
