It has come time for me to walk away from this project. I purchased this car with a bad clutch and slave cylinder, both were replaced, and for 2-3 weeks this was one of the fastest cars I've owned. Then for some unknown reason, the engine developed a mysterious misfire that, after some poking around, turned out to be lack of compression.
After a few months of owning this car, it is now time for me to move on. I simply do not have the time to pull a head or an entire engine out and replace right now, but for someone that does, this is a great investment. Car has great power and ENDLESS torque for a 3400 lb boat that is below what its capabilities were from the factory. All electronics work great, heater blows hot, AC blows cold, seat heaters work great and there is no rust of any sort, just MAJOR clear peal as the PO had a respray done (very poorly).
PROS:
I'm sure im missing a few things, just what I have at the top of my head.
CONS:
That's about it, car is in decent shape, and given the market, could be sold for a decent price with these problems taken care of.
ALL IN ALL, if I had time to properly dedicate to this car I would, but I simply do not. There is about 2-3k profit in this car with enough work to someone that knows how to be efficient. There are a wide array of options to move forward to form here with this base, and the trans bolts up to just about anything worth putting in a 5 series.
ASKING $1,800.
I have money in this car I would like to make back, and at this price I am doing just that. It is negotiable, but PLEASE do not low-ball me. I know what the car is, i know how many they brought to the states, i know what its worth in good running condition, and the price reflects that. Please do your research before contacting me regarding this car, I am not Google.
PM me or Email shwanmazhar24@gmail with any questions regarding the sale and I will address them for you.

PROS:
- NEW CLUTCH + SLAVE
- almost EVERYTHING interior is in working condition, a few things listed below, not enough to scare the wrench handy away.
- leather is in great shape, seats move in all directions
- tires have about 30% tread left
- brakes are in great shape
- only check light is for O2 sensor (recent development since motor was sending down unburnt fuel)
I'm sure im missing a few things, just what I have at the top of my head.
CONS:
- NEEDS HEAD/MOTOR PULLED
- Rear pass side window switch in the front needs replacing
- Front drivers side window falls out of alignment when pulled up
- Few scratches and dents around the body (will need paint to be presentable)
