Prod. Date: 1984-03-01
Automatic Transmission
Clean AZ Title
The car was originally from the Bay Area where I understand it was repo’d and left exposed to the elements for about 1 ½ years at a yard. Then the previous owner (PO) had it for the next 2 in which I believe his only goal throughout this time was to flip it for a profit. I’ve owned the car now for close to 2 years and all I’ve done is to give it loads of love and spend money in it to try to bring it back a decent and reliable shape. I have over $ 3,600 in receipts.
The car is very reliable, engine, tranny & brakes work great and run smoothly. I would feel comfortable taking it for a road trip. In fact, I just recently took a round trip to San Diego for St. Paddy’s Day e28 meet with no issues whatsoever. I also dove it to Phoenix from San Jose when originally purchased. I am pretty much daily driving it right now since my e60 has some issues pending to get resolved so it can pass the emissions test
*The Odometer worked on and off when I acquired the car. I replaced the gears a month or so after and it’s been working fine ever since. Total miles might be off by a few thousand more or less. I believe I have driven the car for a total of 10k miles since purchased. Cluster works well overall but gauges can be flaky.
This is pretty much a stock car, somewhat neglected circumstantially before my time (repo’d/PO years) but at the same time unmolested. It has original engine, tranny, brakes, suspension, etc etc.
The exterior paint in general looks great but it is not the original as it was resprayed at one point by PO. Respray job could have been done better since not only dings were left unattended but tape job was also done very poorly. The badge was also repurposed and glued poorly on the wrong side of the trunk (which explains the sanding seen on pictures). Needless to say, the trunk will need to be resprayed at one point.
All wipers, high/low bean lights, brake lights, reverse lights and signals work well.
It has e38 rims with new Continental Extreme Contact DW tires. I’ve put about 3k miles at the most on tires ever since purchased on Oct. 2015. Tires alone cost a little more than $500.00 installed.
The interior is in good shape relatively. Manual seats show some wear, back seat headrest area is not perfect. Dash is cracked but covered with a dash mat (included w/car). Carpet is in great shape overall. Headliner has a “<” shape tear by the back rest area but other than that it is in good shape. All power windows, sun roof and rearview mirrors work fine. AC is cold but might need to be recharged at one point (especially if kept in the scorching hot weather of AZ). Heater works well. Windows have never been tinted from the looks of it. Radio is inoperable but speakers and power antenna are in perfect working order. The driver side back door panel is missing the bottom carpet like fabric and the ashtray enclosing (I am trying to fix these cosmetic imperfections here little by little).
Windshield has about 4 less-than-an-inch in size cracks, biggest one shown on one of the album pictures.
Very importantly, the car does not leak any fluids and doesn’t seem to have any rust issues.
