    Thanks for the info and that does seem minor. The IS looks great! I truly wish you were closer. I'm absolutely sick of auto shippers and their lack of care/consideration for vehicles. My last two purchases that were shipped (past 6 months) were damaged by shippers

        I've been pretty lucky with shippers but I have the solution to your problem - I'll drive this car to your doorstep (for expenses).

          absolutely stunning and respect the investment in time/resources to keep in such shape.

          Price is spot on. Don't settle for less. GLWS.

            Thanks ZM. Considering I bought the car in 1990 for $20,729.13 from Peter Pan BMW and have maintenance expenses of $62,234.69 (all receipts), I'd say it's a good deal too!

              This car is hard to place. It is an unbelievably well-preserved driver. The s54 route is so much fun, but you'd never get your value back out of it. If it were something you were set on keeping, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, there's tons of other cars that are more befitting modification.

              OP, the car is fantastic. I hope it goes to a worthy surrogate to your ownership. GLWS

                I politely disagree....if all is left o.e. and the swap is done correct....(and not too many understand correct) it will be worth the investment....hence jordans car i bought Click image for larger version

                      I would bet almost anything your sig used to be one or two modded e30's and a 135i. If so, you've really stepped up your car game. Glad to see things are going well for you.

                      We would all love to see another s54 build. Do it!

                          My primary residence is AZ. My wife was in the outside lane of a 2-lane left turn. A 535i was next to her in the left, left turn lane. As they went around the corner, the car hit some sand that had washed over the road and she lost traction. The car's rear end swung out sending the front left into the right rear of the 535i. Very low speed with minor damage to both. Good news is it was an all BMW accident. 😮
