    FS: 90' 325i Coupe (San Antonio, TX)

    The wife and I just bought this car for a really good deal with the intentions of getting it running again and DD'ing it to keep miles off of my 91' 318is. Well with the economy being what it is we could probably use the money more than the extra car. It runs beautifully now... just needed an ignition harness switch and a starter solenoid.

    The Good:

    Runs great... been DD'ing it now for about 2 weeks.
    AC blows ludicrously cold
    body is straight with no rust
    interior is near mint condition (no tears in seats or cracks in dash)
    paint is decent in most places (roof has some wear on rear) was resprayed
    fairly new tires, don't know actual mileage, but good tread left (70% at least)
    clean engine bay (has a small PS leak, and small VC oil leak) leaks aren't bad enough to drip
    new brake light switch to cure random "brake light" out warning
    new fluids
    comes with new timing belt (PO didn't know when done last so I got them)
    added IS trunk spoiler and volvo front lip
    repainted rocker panels and bottom of rear bumper back to black

    The Bad:

    Cruise doesn't work (PO said it did recently)... haven't looked into this yet
    the few small fluid leaks mentioned above
    sunroof doesn't work at all (previous owner removed motor & guts)
    temp gauge doesn't work (will look into this as it bugs me to no end)
    odometer doesn't work, stopped at 150,000+
    antennae doesn't work

    Wife and I wouldn't mind keeping it, so if we don't get what we want for it, we will :) It drives so very nice. Asking $3200 OBO. PM me with any questions or offers. I think that's about it... so on to the pictars!

    I love calypso...

        Morning bump...

        My wife likes the calypso better than my brilliantrot too. I prefer the 308 though. We'd love to keep this, and honestly might end up still keeping it. Been DD'ing and it is awesome... plus it doesn't require premium fuel like my m42.

                Bump for new pics at the request of a potential buyer. I replaced the front bumper trims and lenses. I repainted the rockers and bottom of the rear bumper in low gloss black like factory. Fitted an is spoiler as well, though the paint job I gave it leaves a bit to be desired. Also fitted a volvo front lip to the car for that finished look rather than just the bare clips. Better act fast though guys... after doing the last batch of improvements my wife is starting to make noises about keeping it. Seriously. :)

                    Mileage update: A potential buyer was kind enough to share this info after running a carfax on the car. Last reported mileage was 232,000 miles in August 2006. The carfax came up clean, no writeoffs, accident, or other damage. It shows 5 owners... so I am the 6th. The car has been a Texas car it's whole life, which explains why there is no rust or corrosion to be seen.

                    Let me know if you have any other questions... bump.

                        I love the Calypso. I used to have a car that color so it has a special place in my heart. If this had sport seats it would be so clean.

                        Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.
