Drop the front by 25mm and the wheels would look better. Nice car. Not sure it is worth $9k, but as I don't have $9k to spend that could just be sour grapes.

A real BMW enthusiast! He also has a really clean 635csi and E46 M3. I have mentioned this forum to him but I guess it's not for him. +1 on the price, seems steep. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice - ping him again and let him know that we're a mixed bunch and would welcome him (and his cars) I think the price is reasonable considering the condition and it is/will be a special interest vehicle in the same way a m535i e28 is. Do agree that original wheels, some ACS or Style 37 M-parallels would suit better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All his cars are immaculate and this one is no exception. Buy with confidence. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 544 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 One of the BMW dealers ask the owner if they could use it as a display car I've just been told by a colleague of the owner.

Eagle 1662 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 Been on for awhile now, i considered buying it until i realized it was an auto. Different rims i agree and colour matched body kit would look even nicer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 Yeah, i was looking at it going "oh wow, why do all the good cars come up when im not in the market?!" and then i saw it was auto and closed the page. Its very very nice, but a limited market with that trans, at that price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
