Issues:
1. Low beam error warning (from HIDs), nothing wrong
2. Driver's side bolster showing some age - easily cured with Leatherique
3. Rear parcel shelf becoming unglued/faded
4. Right rear door lock actuator broken
5. Front spoiler has small crack underneath (not noticable until up close)
6. Valve cover gasket leaks small bit of oil (nothing major and only worth dealing with when clutch goes)

---

For those who have seen the car (and know me) know that the car is in great shape I value E34s more than most other cars and have sought after the E34 M5 for years...and treated this example in a way reflective of that.

Asking $10,000 OBO. Steal it away from me before I change my mind :(

thanks Tim! you are definitely keeping your M3, no? we still never did that alpine white shoot :(

your 540/6 looks great...but unfortunately i'm not looking to trade for another 5er right now :( thanks though!

im in oak lawn and really like your car. i would love to find an old m5 like yours and i love the white. i am just concerned about the high mileage on the body. if its in the midwest, i always concern with salt and rust. i dont mind to buy high mileage cars when they are in climates that do not have any snow. any rust on this car? any pics of underneath the car? my email is mrgarciainc@yahoo.com if you can email me some more pics. thanks

there is only the beginnings (literally just the beginnings) of rust at the bottom of the doors...the most typical E34 cancer spot. there are no other spots of rust, however...(by the gas tank door especially, which is another common E34 spot). i dropped the car off at a body shop (A&L Autobody) when i was getting my rear suspension bushings/eisenmann installed and asked if it would be difficult to fix, but it was a general consensus that it wouldn't be since it was clearly on the surface and didn't have a chance to penetrate. at the same time, we did a walk through underneath the car...replaced all the exhaust hardware from front to back since i was already putting the exhaust on...and aside from the aforementioned leaks, there was nothing that struck them as issues. it also helps that i don't drive the car in the winter. :)

i cannot get pics immediately since the car is at another shop getting some bits taken care of, but let me know if you have any other questions! thanks for your interest!

You have been PMd

PMed you back!

The work is currently being done at the shop...I'll update you guys with more detailed pics and information as soon as I get the car back :)

wow that car looks awesome...id love to have one of those..too bad I dont have the cash or id fly to chicago and drive the thing home

Any interest in a partial trade for an 89 325i 4door bronzit..............needs paint job, the paint on the roof is messed up.

I would possibly pay in full as well.

no thanks on the trade :)

let me know if you'd be interested in a straight sale though!

I would be interested in a straight up purchase, I didnt think anyone would want the car anyways(gonna give it to my dad). Or I might track it.

If you would like to email me so we could talk easier, its Anthonyb711 at hotmail dot com. I cant PM yet I dont think.

I could possibly come up there soon to visit my buddies, and check out the car.

sold :(
