That 318i is sweet.

I've seen this 1990 325i sedan Calypso/Tan posted before on SD CL but the price is right and it looks okay from a distance.

Automatic, grungy driver door panel, looks like the clear's seen better days but isn't totally gone. If it was a slicktop and the paint was better, I'd consider it as a companion for my Boston E36.

Not so sure about this price, but I do like this color combo, and the seller wrote a good ad (how refreshing!)

2004 BMW 545i 6 SPEED! - $6000

https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/d/2004-bmw-545i-6-speed/6593891141.html

Hello! I have for sale a beautiful 545i that is in really awesome shape for the year! A real head turner and sure to be classic with dark tinted windows, new tires, and runs fantastic! This car is a V8, 6 Speed manual which is EXTREMELY rare for this particular vehicle! An absolute joy to drive and very luxurious.

Just replaced the MPM module that is known to go bad, also valve seals have been done recently as well so all major maintenance has been completed to this point. Oil change is fresh and so is coolant flush. The car has just hit 100k miles, so she is very young, 102,XXX to be exact! Plenty of great life left in this car, I am looking to Uber full time and need something more practical otherwise I would keep her!

Please CALL or TEXT anytime! OBO! All serious offers will be considered!

[MR E30 325is]

That is interesting. Must be a joy to roadtrip in.

I am really surprise how cheap 5 series cars are. We see them here in Cali and man, they are just giving these things away.

It you buy one, make sure the modules under the spare tire are moved to the sides where they wont get fried by water leaks. Also, let the car warm up for 15-20 min then rev the piss out of it. If the valve stem seals are leaking you'll see a huge cloud of smoke come out. That job is fucking expensive...

And thats why people are just giving the V8 cars away. BMW can't build a V8 if their lives depended on it. We have a love hate relationship with them at the shop.

Great interior.

The CL ad has been up for 25 days... but "Im telling you... HURRY!!!"

I'd love to get an e34 or e39 540, but $2000 in parts for timing chain guides scares the shit outta me...

More like 800 in parts

And if you go with an M60 (non vanos), I dont think you will even have to worry about it (?) Correct me because I might be wrong, but I havent seen chain guide failures on the non vanos V8s. We have an E38 with an M60 in it at the shop right now, all apart for oil leaks, and the chains and guides look great. They have two rows of chains on these as opposed to the single chain on each gear on the Vanos motors. I wonder if thats why Ive never seen any of them fail

That job is fucking expensive...

I imagine. 32V and while the heads are off you may as well do the timing stuff.

I scored these 15X7 ET26 MSW wheels today for $100,
https://annapolis.craigslist.org/wto/d/alloy-wheels-for-volkswagen/6598532225.html

ET 26 for a Corrado is very low, A Corrado requires a ET 35 or ET38 wheel. Ad didn't say what the offset of the wheels was. Seller said ET26 and I said I'll be right over. They need to be refinished but nothing a wheel shop can't cure. These wheels have a deep dish that I do like. They look easy to clean, a lot easier than basketweaves.
