Definitely needs a suspension refresh. Rear bags are mint but front is tired. I'd be happy with $4k. Might try my luck on Facebook before paying the fees on TM.

Eagle 1679 Report post Posted February 26, 2022 Yeah i think 5k tops. 3.5k-4k region probably more realistic given most E39 have rooted suspension. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammo 2550 Report post Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Congrats on the job - sounds exciting! Where did you do the pics? Looks a great spot. And that interior looks like a fantastic place to be on a winters morning. Edited February 26, 2022 by Sammo 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot to look when I had the wheels off. Its a square set so I doubt someone got two halves of different sets. Tyres are 245/45/18. I'll whip the wheels off tomorrow.

Yea it's a big pet peeve of mine, shitty listings. It's a confusing car because it has had 1000s/year spent on it from his local workshop but the guy also never seemed to vacuum/clean it? It's by no means mint but it's halfway there. A really good base for a project and some further TLC. The interior and its interior condition is the biggest selling point. Also M52, who doesn't love M52s? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vass 867 Report post Posted March 7, 2023 So the dude manual converted it and is now parting it out less than a year later? Wonder what's happened there 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder what's happened there I think quite a lot of people think they can do a manual conversion and realise they have bitten off more than they can chew when they get to the finishing details. Coding, wiring etc. Just picked up a 130i in the same situation that I'm going through the process of finishing the coding, and tidying it up. I wonder if that's what happened with this car.
