Not much to tell


Saw an ad on Craigslist. Guy had it listed as a 1988 BMW, nothing more. No pictures, just a basic ad "I got this old BMW for sale, etc. Reminds me of my ex-wife, want it gone etc.". 152k miles, and a contact number (Landline anyone?). Thought it was fake at first, but the guy left a contact number so... Yolo. Ad was posted 20 hours after I called the guy to no response, so I left a message.

Called the guy, left a message, figured it could be a potential come up (seeing as how this ad is almost the same as the ad the guys had posted for the last 2 e30s I picked up: No pictures, no badge, just "Old 198x BMW" + milage + contact).

Gets back to me saying it's still for sale and he's free. Old dude, retired vet; probably 60+. Told him I was local(ish) and I wouldn't mind the drive out. Then I asked for pictures and saw the flares

Ohhhhhhh boy

Next morning (this morning) I called up a buddy who came with me; decided to take his vert if I pitched for gas. Head on up to see it; arrived at the guys house and this guy was loaded. 4-5 2002s, parts cars, roundies; an old hot-rod truck, 3-4 Harleys, e30 m3 and 2 old VW wagons, trailer full of parts: guy recently divorced and was trying to downsize assets. Saw the car

Drove it

Bought it

Boom

Guy included a second set of m3 weaves (15x7 5x120) that I will be saving for the iS as first official 5 lug wheels, and a set of OZ Superlaggeras (17x8.5 I think) with some best dry-rotted Toyos


Guy said it's bee sitting for months if not years. Hasn't drive it since the divorse. (2 years+ or so)


Clear is beat to shreds and it definitely needs engine work, but overall it's solid and no rust anywhere.




Guy had no idea what he had

[Cabriolet]

I didn't even check

I've just been driving it home all day. I want to say Zinno, but some of the other panels look like Brilliantrot. Clear is completely faded, so it was hard to tell


EDIT:
Yep, just sent the vin through the decoder; came back Zinno 134

[Pantless Spency]
