Just a feeler here. If you're looking for a solid DD plastic bumper 'vert, here's your chance. Lagoon green over natural leather with a black top.
Car is located in Pittsburgh, PA. As it's sitting the fuel tank to be purged or replaced. It starts and idles but won't run over 3K RPM. Very low miles - less than 120K. Really solid start for a build. It was originally a Florida car, so it happily has no rust except for a little surface corrosion on the battery tray. Late model bodywork, M20B25, manual transmission and 14" basketweaves.
The car is a bit worn, but it's unmolested and totally original, right down to the OEM stereo. I will share a full title history and all documentation with interested parties. I rescued the car from long-term storage and have been slowly working the kinks out. I've just installed a new timing belt, idler, water pump, v-belts, and OEM fuel pump. I also changed all the fluids. Clutch is practically brand-new, it was replaced when a lower-mileage used motor was installed. I heard the original motor snapped a timing belt.
Mechanically the car is very solid. It has a few of the usual E30 problems but there are no show stoppers here. I'd recommend new front struts, arms & CABs, rear shock bushings are a good idea too. The P/S rack is leaking but I have an E36 rack that goes with the car.
Electrically it's in good shape too. All the windows work, gauges work, bulbs are good, heater fan is good, 13-button OBC works. Check control is totally random, bad brake sensor, bad coolant sensor, the stereo keeps trying to play a phantom cassette tape. EM power top is not functional but it can still be retracted manually.
Cosmetically, the car is OK, but it needs some work. Rear window is clear, no significant rust, all trim is intact except for the front spoiler. Some superficial bodywork has been done on the passenger side front and rear quarters. Clearcoat has failed on hood and trunk, dash has a few cracks, top has a few holes and the power retraction system is missing some parts. Front seats both have small tears in the lower pads but they are otherwise OK. Rear seats have shrunk & split at the top.
I'll consider all offers but I'm relatively firm on price. I'll also consider trades, especially for other BMWs. Manual transmissions in Euro cars and E23/E24/E28 stuff strongly preferred.
