****SOLD****
The time has come to cut my losses. I have put over $5k into this car, with receipts for most of it. Countless hours have gone into rebuilding or replacing nearly every critical part on this car...new baby and lack of time forces sale. Mechanically solid, pulls hard, drives great. Only major downside is that its in dire need of a respray...that was last on my to-do list.

Known Issues:
Fugly Paint

2 small rust bubbles (sunroof and trunk lid)
Oil pan drain plug was replaced at some point in its life by one of those Quick Drain Valves. It drips very small amount of oil
Steering rack has leak from banjo bolt (easy fix, just haven't gotten to it yet).
Dash cracked
Antenna needs new mast
Central locking is wonky
Brake lining light goes on and off, even though brakes are brand new. I'm assuming a short or bad wear sensor.
Even though tread is still great on the tires, they are 4 years old. I would swap them out.
Overall the car has been gone over pretty well, and huge money dumped into replacing things. Any job done on the car was done thoroughly, and all the "while you're in there" items done. The most major defect on this car is the appearance, which i never got around to. The body is straight, no accidents. Minor dings and dents there, nothing outside expected for a 23 year old car.
Willing to discuss any aspect of the car in detail, and available to show the car in person to any serious buyer. I have a 10-month old baby, so my time is short...please don't waste it. Not looking to ship right now unless you can arrange everything, and all I have to do is give the truck driver the keys.
Located in Temecula CA, 92592
Small gallery here, and more pics available upon request:
edit I forgot to add that I have a whole slew of extra parts that would come with car. New set of exhaust manifold gaskets, misc parts, E36 switches, Oil filter sandwich plate for the Oil Temp gauge, and a near complete leather interior (f/r door cards, map pulls, rear seat).
