Love the car obviously but I need something larger. Selling it so cheap since it needs a few things.
The vanos seal, it works as an EGR and my HC and NOx results were high but passed in September. I had a hot air intake when I had the car BAR'd, so that may be the reason NOx and HC were near the limit. May or may not pass smog, it's your responsibility. Second issue is the top has shrunk, so there is a slight gap at the trunk. Guy in Fremont area is selling a nice black one with clear windshield for around $400. Also leaks a little oil from the main seals and the dash has cracks. Windshield also has about a 5" crack.
Mileage is 190k, title is salvaged due to back registration fees from PO. Changed the oil and filter every 5k with Amtecol full synthetics. Only use Chevron, 76, Shell, and Mobil 91 octane. Drive about 100 miles to Livermore and back 3 days a week for work, so the car doesn't see much city driving. Family has a shop in Albany, so the car has always been well taken care of.

Chose the m50tu since I was planning to go FI (engines are cheap and easily found) compared to the s52. But it would be very easy to throw in an s52 if you want more power. It's been over a year and the car has some paint chips now, have a bottle of touch up though. They've been doing construction through Livermore since I had the car painted so it's been tough on the front end. (I don't tailgate either)
The Condor and e21 bushings also let in some noise, I like the sound, mostly forget it's even there until someone mentions it, most think it sounds cool though. Definitely not a bad diff though, was quiet before the bushings.
The ride isn't too bad either, similar to an e36 m3 with Bilstein sports. Very fun to drive spiritedly.
I'll get some better pictures up soon. Value on these cars, especially cabrios, have been climbing the last few years and would make a good investment.
Not interested in any trades, parting out, etc. Cash is preferred but a check is fine so long it clears at the bank. PRICE IS FIRM STOP ASKING!! Email me with your contact information, if your email sounds like spam, I won't reply. Thanks for looking.
That's a dang nice car! WOW!
