Background:
I bought the car in July of 2001 with 181k miles, and it has been garaged for 98% of the time I've owned it. The chassis has 229,xxx miles, it has an m50 swap from a 93 525i, with unknown miles. It has started every time since the day I installed it. I have put on about 1,000 miles in the last year or so.
For those who don't know, it was turbocharged from about 2003-2008, with an m20 stroker (hence the 328i badge in the rear), and it blew up in catastrophic fashion on the way home from an e30 picnic in 2008. I didn't feel like building/rebuilding and it took 3 years to get back into it.
Condition:
All fluids are kept up and has redline diff oil. The battery is new as of March. The paint is in very good condition. There are a few dents on the exterior,1 in the front fender toward the front bumper (kind of hard to see), 2 in the rear quarter panels from something rolling around in the trunk. One in the hood, on the front passenger side. A couple door dings, that are hard to notice, and I’ll take pictures of spots that are hard to explain. The oil cooler is mounted but not connected, as I was waiting for Ireland Engineering to figure out their cooler adapter.
I am asking $7500.
