I really want to see this coupe go to a good home - make an offer!
Alpenweiss Coupe, located in Bellingham. Odo currently frozen at 153,920. I believe it has about 160,000 on it based on maintenance records from the past few years. M10B18 in front of a 3 HP22.
I purchased this coupe last October and put a few months of easy commuting miles on it before a water pump failure led to a blown HG and cracked head.
I sourced a replacement head from a fellow board member, had the valves done, and got the motor running again. While under the hood I also replaced:
While it starts reliably, it runs rough at idle. Above 1500 it seems to run clean and smooth, but I have failed to set the primary timing correctly. I hate to see it go but I have run out of time for what has turned into a project, and I don't have the means to swap in what it deserves.
Highlights:
Clean, straight body, no major dents
Interior in good shape (7/10) with functioning CD deck/stereo
Heat, f/r defroster, and fan work perfectly (though not A/C)
Manual sunroof works perfectly, headliner is unstained and secure
Clean, unstained, odor-free trunk (tool kit tray included but lacks tools)
Michelin X-Ice snows with approx 60 miles on them
All exterior lights and signals function
Pop out rear windows, BMW mudflaps up front only
Opportunities for improvement:
Rough idle
Odo stopped working last year ~6,000 miles ago
Instrument panel lights very occasionally flicker
Windshield washer motor does not work though wipers do
General nicks and scratches, some small rust spots though no rust through body anywhere, even under the spare tire
Patched tear in driver's seat
Glovebox plastic latch missing though 'box is still fully accessible
Fog lamp lenses and bulbs are missing but housings are included in the sale
I am asking $1,500 based on local CL ads.
Make an offer - you all know what this is worth.

- water pump + all gaskets for front and top of motor and exhaust
- fuel injectors
- cap and rotor
