1989 BMW 325i sedan - $7700 http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...960099413.html

1989 BMW 325i 4 door sedan with 180,000 miles on the odometer.

The engine was rebuilt in 7500 miles (9months) ago. TOP and BOTTOM, so this is for all intent and purposes a brand new engine ready to do another 180000.
Invested close to $6K in parts alone over the years, work completed by shop owner, and ASE certified master technician.This car has seen more time on a lift than most cars will ever see in their lives.
Originally the vehicle was an automatic, and had tan comfort interior. I converted it to 5spd manual with a Getrag 260 transmission, new clutch, and resurfaced flywheel (transmission replaced in July with a re-built unit. All new seals, synchros, and bushings). Oil changes done every 3,000 miles or earlier with 20w-50 Castrol, recently replaced coolant, transmission fluid, and differential fluid.

1986 bmw 235 es - $2300 http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...980996576.html





I have a 1986 bmw is 325es for sell very clean runs great 169 k miles , manual transmission ,one owner , clean title any questions text me at

[flyboyx]

i agree with you that they are pretty pricy. most likely, they will take quite a bit longer to sell. and they will be sold for a pretty good amount less than is asked or they will be held on to.

i like the white one by far the best, but there is no way i would pay anywhere close to 7k for it. the ad makes me laugh.....asking price: 7000.00 but make him an offer since there is no way he is taking less than 7000.00 for it. what is up with the interior pics? for that kind of money, i would expect to see a minty driver's seat. i bet its ripped since that shot appears to be avoided.

[brads2002]

Are those legit alpina wheels? I thought the valve stems were under the center cap running the air through a spoke. Maybe not on all alpina wheels though. Are the ellipsoids correct for 86?

U oughta buy it!

the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car for it to be japanese spec. its probably german spec imported to japan early in its years.
