Ugh, why'd i click this?

I'd take that off your hands for $3,000 if i didn't just lose my job.

[FSAEracer03]

I'm not sure what your name means, or how to shorten it... so I'm going to call you 0.

Hey O, where are you located? :)

[O 16581 72452 5]

Indiana, Virginia is only like 600 miles.

I thought your location said Ohio for some reason?

[FSAEracer03]

Haha, no, sorry. In a related story, I bought a car 950 miles away last month... and it didn't even run! Hahaha... oh man. It's a disease, isn't it?

[FSAEracer03]

By the way... included with the sale are a few spare 5-series parts and leftovers I have lying around. I might as well give these to the future owner while I'm at it!

*Original owners manual and maintenance booklet for this car
*745i (1981) Intake manifold (good for turbo setups)
*OE Sunroof wind deflector and mounting hardware
*Main cooling fan, clutch, and shroud

Pics of the interior?
Would you mind giving full specs (15x7,5-120, et20???)on the wheels and a straight on shot of one - might be a resource for a extra M3 wheel if I ever see a set for sale.
Nice car - gl on selling.

[FSAEracer03]

I totally forgot to mention a small custom touch that was done to the car! The sunroof switch was removed from the roofliner, and replaced with a flat cap. The switch was relocated to the immediate left of the stereo for ease of use.

You can't really see the piece that covers the switch area in the pictures (I can take another if you all want to see it), but you can see the new switch by the stereo.

Here are some interior shots of the car:

Your link is bad and i still wish i could afford this damn car, lol.

[FSAEracer03]

Sorry about that. The link didn't copy from post to cross-post. Problem fixed... :)

O, feel free to make an offer. The price isn't set in stone.

[FSAEracer03]

I see a good bit of interest in the car from people hundreds of miles away, and I don't want to discourage them by the drive, so I'll make them a deal.

To anyone that is over 250 miles away, I will drop the cost of the car $250 should they choose to purchase it, in order to compensate for their long trip.

And to everyone, don't forget there are a few hundred dollars in the spares alone. :D

I heard about this car from my boy Adam.

He called me last night and I guess he met you somewhere through friends in Norfolk. His name is Adam Buck and he's an Airman in the Navy stationed there in Norfolk and drives a black 97 318ti.

He also mentioned something about a M30 M3?? He was never clear on what he heard but I was interested non the less.

[FSAEracer03]

Hey man, yeah, he told me about you. The M3 actually has an S52 stuck in it, with a bunch of goodies. Right now, it "only" has 300hp naturally aspirated, but might see boost in it's near future. The car is mint and is for sale through my boss for $19k... wait... wrong thread! Hahaha.

Yeah, if you're interested in a clean 535is, let me know. I have a few guys interested in it, but it's still for sale right now! Thanks for the post, it's always cool to see connections popping up online!

[FSAEracer03]

Dropping the price down to $2800!

One prospective buyer came to look at the car last night after seeing it on Craigslist. We discussed prices and he will make his decision before next week, so if anyone is interested in the car, now might be the time to snatch it up.
