niXon 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Hi, Have got a midnight blue 525i (1992) for sale. Has been damaged in the rear left panel, left rear light assembly and rear bumper are damaged. 2 of the 16" deep dish mags have also been damaged, but have been told are repairable. The front left wheel has a "wobble" when driven forward and backward, have been advised that it probably needs a new hub assembly. The car has a 5 speed manual which I had put in around 6 months ago. The gearbox was fully reconditioned and had a new clutch at time of install. Car itself has done around 170,000kms, engine is all good, and regularly serviced. Has low king springs fitted, nice ride height, and comfortable to drive. Looking for offers. e: nick.ham@smartsims.com p: 0275 484540 (text during bus hours, can call after 5pm) Cheers.

niXon 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 yes but people wont even bother unless you give them some idea of what you are after. The problem is I really don't know what it is worth... The gearbox cost around $1500 6 months ago, and is I guess the main selling point of the car. I'd part with the whole car for around that figure. -________- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braeden320 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 Firstly Welcome to Bimmersport. The best way to sell on here is with pictures of what your selling and a rough estimate of how much you want for it. Just makes the whole process easier for all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niXon 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 Rough estimate as above - $1500. Haven't got photos atm sorry, car is stuck at a friends place and haven't had a chance to get around to snap a few. Description as first post, if anyone has any questions just ask me in here. Here is a pretty crappy picture of the car pre crash, all I have on this PC atm: Not ideal, I know, but need to get rid of it, so worked with what I had.

briancol 3 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 Are you prepared to sell the transmission, pedal box etc as a seperate item? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niXon 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 Really keen to get rid of the whole car, as you can imagine wrecking it is going to take a lot longer to get rid of/more hassle etc, but make an offer if you want and I'll consider. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tire 10 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 The impression I get from wiki is that the the E28 525 had m30b25 and the e34 525 had m20b25 / m50b25.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niXon 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) I was under the impression the M20 was a SOHC and the M30 was a DOHC? Sorry perhaps someone else can shed some light. Edited June 23, 2008 by niXon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) They're both SOHC. '92 e34 525 had M50b25 which is DOHC which is probably what this car has. Edited June 23, 2008 by bravo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
