We bought this a few years ago from a forum member, Rob Becker. It would have been in 2009 I believe. There were grand plans to get a track car, but a second kid and life got busy, and the car sat, and sat, and was driven very seldom. Then it developed a coolant leak and it was parked (in a cozy, indoor garage for 3 years). Then this Spring, after making time to replace coolant hoses and a few vacuum hoses around the throttle body, she was back running again.
Before it was parked for 3 years, I also started a euro bumper conversion. It's not perfect, but it's ok.
The good:
rust-free (as far as I can tell, I've been over it a decent amount and don't see a thing)
nearly new exhaust (OEM I think)
Coolant hoses replaced
New parts included, water pump, new fan blade, rest of short shifter parts
Have original 325is US bumper airdam and rear US bumper along with other misc parts from the original US bumpers if you want them.
Car has a thick binder of records including original window sticker and I saw receipts back to 1989 in there.
I have the original wheels that will go with the car. Currently it has d-force wheels and Sumitomo tires.
The bad:
DOT-r replacement left fender
drips some oil
passenger side window inop
could really shine with some paintless dent removal and paint cleaning, but no clearcoat issues that I see anywhere
finish is peeling on rear spoiler
small tear on driver's seat leather
blank canvass for suspension mods, it could use everything (all bushings, shocks, etc). Or drive as-is.
We're into it for a bit over $5k so I'm going to offer it at $5250 or best offer. I have high res photos if anyone needs them and I'm happy to take other photos if requested for those serious about the car.
