Details:
I am only the 2nd owner. Original owner put 76K miles on it.
It currently has 85K miles on it. I have owned the car about 1.5 years.
All maintenance done by dealer for the P.O. Fully-stamped maintenance book, including timing belt at 64K.
I have kept-up on regular maintenance with new: water pump, fan clutch, belts, plugs, distributor cap and rotor, valve cover gasket, etc. as needed Have all receipts.
Only mods are wheels, tires, and Vogtland Spring + Konis. Have original wheels with good rubber and original springs & struts. Oh, and a 6-disc CD changer I added that is routed through the stock head unit.
The car was repainted professionally and cleared at some point in its life. Really hard to tell it was a repaint, as there is no overspray and all trim was obviously removed. Glossy and clearcoated, looks very nice.
Perfect interior on all accounts. No rips or tears on the bolster or anywhere else. Period.

Minor stuff:

Very, very small amount of surface rust around the windshield header. My guess is that the windshield was replaced and not properly sealed-up by the P.O., a common mistake. It was there when I bought the car and has not spread. You have to know where to look for it.
Flexing agent was apparently not used on the front airdam paint. The paint has cracked and come off in a few places.
Driver's side front fender looks to have been replaced/repainted at some point in its life. Didn't notice it when I bought the car as the VIN sticker was in place, but when I claybarred the car I notcied the paint wasn't perfect with some minor cracking. I am a perfectionist, so if I were keeping the car I would probably respray that one fender when I repainted the airdam with the flex agent. Nobody has ever said anything about it, so it's not like it's a "must" do for the new owner.
A few scratches, but you have to know where to look.
New brakes (15K miles ago), but intermittent wear sensors. Again, very common.
One cracked fog light. Also like that when I purchased the car.

The car needs no apologies and frequently gets compliments from enthusiasts. I looked for a long time before I found an "is" that met my standards.

Price is $6500 with stock wheels and new rubber. I also have the last set of OEM e30 M-tech stripes that were left in inventory and I had them shipped from Germany. Planned to put them on once the airdam/fender were painted... we can talk about them.

The Compomotives pictured above with nearly new Toyo T1-s are negotiable seperately.

Located in Columbus, Ohio. Will accomodate additional pictures, a PPI, and reasonable delivery for any serious buyer.

Sorry, fat-fingered the title. It should read "85K original miles", not "87K".

Oh boy. I can't believe I clicked this thread. I was planning on spending about that much on an E34 but...

I'll be in the market in a month, FYI.

Do you still have the car for sale? How far away are you from Detroit? My son maybe interested in your car and he is currently working in Detroit.
Very nice car I usually don't like white, but your car is attractive. Why are you selling?
