    Things that need attention:
    Interior:
    • Headliner does not sag, but above the back right is stained
    • Panel underneath the steering wheel is missing; I believe I may have it somewhere in my parts bin, if so I will re install it.
    Exterior:
    • Paint is not perfect by any means, driver fender above the wheel well is scuffed, and passenger front door has sunspots.

    Engine Management
    • It could use a new tune, idle needs fine tuning, and it has a LOT of power left in it.

    I have hundreds of pictures and receipts of the car and all of the work dating back over a decade. If anyone is seriously interested I can email more information.
    I’ll put the price at $8400 OBO
    I’m really open to trades as well.

                      Sorry to crash your FS thread but your black E36 is super nice! I love the simplicity (no M add ons) with just the stance and wheels!

                        Nice ride! Wish I had the room for another ride.
                        I'd be flying down to get it, and also get a ride in my old Henna. I miss that thing!
                        Tyler did a fantastik job with her.

                        Good luck!
