FS: 1982 Euro 525i

Have you always wanted a Euro e28 project car but didn't want to pay top dollar? Do you chuckle at the the task of major auto restoration? Would you like to just 'own' a euro e28 for once in your life? This opportunity could be for you!Here's your chance.

The basics are this.

Selling:
1982 Euro 525i
m30b25
Color - Polaris
Interior - Blau-something
5-speed w/Getrag 265/6 non-removable BH (according to realoem)
US headlights
Euro bumper Delete
Manual windows
No moonroof
Rust is included at no extra charge

The car starts, runs, & shifts good. Idle is loud due to muffler delete. Since ownership I've taken it on .08 mile journey out of my driveway into the street & back into my driveway. It was most exhilirating. This was the thrill of a lifetime, but now it's time to pass this opportunity onto someone else.

Asking price? Well if you've read this far either your'e a man's man, ambitious, interested in purchasing, or just mildly amused. Asking $800/obo (with copious amounts of wiggle room) If you're slightly interested, or just would like to hone your haggling skills this is your chance! I plan to close bidding by Thursday 3/22 & this car will to be gone soon after. It's a very cool car that needs loving like a fat woman needs Krispy Kreme. Doable, but you'll need to take a deep breath first.

Now for pics of aforementioned project.

Drumroll please!!!!!

ALL that rust is do'able except under the windshield, I've done that repair on an E12 and its a bitch... I would buy it and just drive it as is.

If it does actually run at all, it could easily be turned into a Lemons car... which would be a much more glorious 'death' for it than being crushed. :cool:

So you picked it up and took all the good bits.

Also there is a hartge sway bar under there and billy sports.

The engine ran strong, and didn't notice any Oil leaks but ran super rich.

Just an FYI before the $$ start going in your eyes, the Hartge bar is worth about $75.

Wow, that's all. :bawl:

Oh well, thanks for the heads up. I'd have no clue what the market other than putting it up for sale. We'll see down the road.

Just an update for those kicking back munching popcorn in curiousity of how this one will end up... I made contact the other night with an interested party. Car isn't totally off the market (yet), but this person currently has first dibbs. Will update as things progress.

Thanks for all the interest from those that have contacted me! My inbox was blowing up.

Ehh... Close but no cigar. Had the bumpers on the turbo shipped over from the motherland courtesy of Parts Pimp & then dipped in chrome. The bumpers I pulled off are on reserve for my other euro project. ;)

Why is that? You asked me that once when I was fixin' on parting a Euro E23. Is it a collection thing?
