This one was nice, looks like it still has a reserve assuming it must be lower

Jan 2025, so 1 year + 2 months... but yea. Living in AZ and knowing it doesnt have A/C... certain to be destined a garage queen

The AC retrofit kit is available for the M3 too.
And it's not extremely expensive compared to what he paid for the car.

I guess even finding a good original ac compressor isn't very difficult.

He bought the car in January and he is selling it two months later.
I guess it's not a good car for daily driving.

Well a PO chimed in and said the odometer didn't work when he bought it, but didn't provide a year. Hopefully that kills any "low miles" money a car that should be labeled TMU might fetch. The PO has a funny reason for selling it too, no AC, couldn't find anyone willing to retrofit it. Yeah, probably would not be willing to pay what a retrofit would cost either. Even with a donor car so all parts are present an AC retrofit is a dash and support frame out job that comes with a hefty labor bill.

I think we should all flame him on the post. Justice for all E30s

Interesting to see a 16k mile car with a repaired ca back section.

So the seller just swapped/reset the odometer?

In the OG listing it was said to have 63k miles but the cluster still showed what it currently does in those photos. I have owned several cars over the years where the cluster failed and BMW replaced it with a new zero mile cluster and put a sticker in the door jam stating so. I thought that was the case here, but I either don't remember the exact reasoning from the ad, or he didn't mention why.

you should ask him some questions lol

bro yes

derail the auction

also its the right thing to do

At the very least it should be TMU- the work orders in the gallery from early 2024 show the same mileage currently on the cluster. Nothing intermittent about it
