I've owned this car for over 5 years now and it is time for me to move on to a new project.

I'm the third owner of the car. The previous 2 owners were older ladies and the car was garaged all its life up until the last 3 years. I've done a lot to this car - it's been through 3 suspension setups, 3 sets of rims, and I converted it from automatic to manual.

The clock says 108,000 miles on it, but the odometer stopped working and I estimate the mileage at 120-130,000.

The car needs minimal mechanical work. Countless maintainence parts have been taken care of while I have owned the car, and currently, the only thing in need of replacement are the tie rod ends, and possibly the control arms (about $250 in parts). UPDATE: I have the tie rods and I'm installing them this weekend.

The exterior is still very shiney and its clean for a 16 year old car - but its just that, a 16 year old car. All the paint is original and there are knicks, scratches, and small dents around the car. Nothing serious, besides the oxidation on the bottom 1/2 of both rear quarter panels. They could be repainted for a fair amount of money. The sunroof has some rust, but can be replaced very easily (about $50). The top of the rear bumper near the exhaust is faded as well.

Exterior color is sterling silver, the interior is two tone grey/black. The back seat is black leather, in nice shape. The front seats were recovered in Alpina clothe (brand new) with vinyl bolsters.

I am seriously looking to trade it. I don't have anything really particular in mind, but I am picky when it comes to cars... Will also accept offers to sell it outright. The car is located in West Palm Beach, FL. I have the clean title in hand.

bump for a nice ride

 

How much are you considering trades?

 

looks fun to drive. is it fast? how much?

 

price???

 

I'm not sure if that was 2 questions in one, but I am considering trades. I don't have an asking price because I have not found a car I want to buy yet, so I want to look for trades first. I've had offers on the car for $6,000 already on some BMW forums.

I wouldn't say its fast but its quick and its torquey (approx. 170hp and 170ft/lbs.).

 

car is beautiful! It's almost exactly how i want my bronzit E30 to look when im finished with the body. I saw it for sale on r3v and bimmerforums. Goodluck with the sale!

 

Thanks man.

not saying yours doesnt have more time and effort put into it but.. i suspected it'd go for somewhere in this price range.

That car is stock, in worse shape, higher miles, a poor color combo, and the auction hasn't ended yet. Cars like mine swapped or turbos have sold for over $10,000. Thanks for your input though.
