I'm selling my '84 520i. It's a basic, no-frills european spec car with its original bumpers, headlights, manual seats, windows and locks. I imported it from canada 14 months ago, and it's never missed a beat in about 10,000 entertaining miles, including a fun romp through the mountains of British Columbia in the Spring Thaw classic car tour.
$2300 or best offer. Located on Capitol Hill, Seattle.
It's powered by a two liter M20 six-cylinder. Not the fastest car I've owned, but with a 4.10 diff and weight roughly equivalent to a us-spec 3-series (E30) of the same vintage, it acquits itself nicely on the road.
White exterior, and a pine green interior. Better than it sounds. As far as I can tell, the only options are the sunroof, and a factory tow hitch. Not sure how much one can tow with two liters and 129 horsepower.
Lots of neat little euro features like bumpers, city lights, a factory fire extinguisher mounted under the driver's seat, a rear fog light and a tow hitch.
Never federalized -- it was imported under the NHTSA's exemption for cars 25 years old, which requires no changes from original spec. Have title and all importation paperwork.
Recent work, all in April of this year (not including regular oil changes):
1. Refreshed front brake calipers, discs and pads. New brake fluid.
2. All new fuel lines.
Issues:
Straight, but cosmetically imperfect. A touch of northwest top-down rust at the base of the rear window and under the sunroof panel, and a few dings here and there. There's also a minor crease just ahead of the rear taillight on the passenger side.
Gauge cluster is largely inoperative. The temp sensor works; everything else is either inaccurate or inoperative, including the odometer and speedometer. The tachometer looks like it isn't original, and must have come from an eta car. Odometer reads 166,000km.
Original Bavaria stereo doesn't work, and the antenna is missing.
Cracked dash.
One tiny tear in the driver's seat.
