I'm posting this in the local forums to see if anyone's interested. Feel free to lowball. I originally bought this BMW to do a full restoration. Unfortunately, I am going back to college and do not have the time. It runs well and starts w/ no problems! It has a manual transmission. Shifter is a little loose as usual, but shifting is very smooth. It has about 200k miles. Here is what I have done:
Fixed all dents/rust, etc, and painted car w/ silver enamel.
Replaced the warped bumper pieces
New exhaust system, New belts, NEW DISTRIBUTOR, Wires, Iridium Plugs, Valve adjustment, painted valve cover, Oil change, New Coolant, New hood shock, Replaced Battery, Cleaned cold start valve, adjusted idle, treated fuel system w/ BG 44k, New Cone Air Filter
Interior: New shift boot, Repadded driver's seat, cleaned carpet, Pioneer Headunit and Speakers. I have a good dash w/ no cracks, but haven't put that in yet. It'll take u an hour to do at the most.
What still needs to be done: (You can get these parts at Crazy Ray's in Baltimore for a bargain) Lenses for a few of the indicator lights ($5 each), put the grills and some body trim back on, replace glovebox ($10) Fix the wiper motor (I already have taken everything out besides the actual motor, so it'll be quick for you) ($12) and TO FIX AC: The problem is a cracked low pressure hose. Just replace the hose, get a new receiver ($17 at Pelican Parts) evacuate, and recharge. Everything else seems to work fine.
Can someone help me post up pics?
