What's the driveability of the car? It does still run right? Leaks or anything from the accident? Pictures?

We reset as best we could the front right suspension,and that tracks well.Had to install a shunt(just a straight hose)to replace the damaged oil cooler under the front spoiler to get the car home.Car does run and everything normal works,but without the valve working(was iffy BEFORE accident)to turn on the turbo,the car runs smoothly but has NO appreciable power.I was advised by a local turbo expert( Pat Philpot,of twin turbo E34 fame on Bimmerforums) to add a newer,larger turbo in the future for more power just a few months before accident.
Price,as I mentioned in our forsale/wanted column with much better and more exact description of car,is asking $1600 or reasonable offer.Have to get car off parking lot in my over 55 condo community.
I'm located in S.Fla. near West Palm Beach.

Darryl from the Tampa E28 crowd,who saw the turbo when it was in good shape, has just left a PayPal deposit,so it looks like the grey ghost is SOLD!

Aw shucks, oh well. I was just discussing the car with my Dad about using the parts to turbo my 535is as a project. After he agreed to help me I jumped on the board to get your phone number so I could arrange a look at the car and bring cash + tow vehicle %)
Hey Daryl, if you decide not to go ahead, let me know!

Pat most definitely had a twin turbo E34. He had several interesting cars.

Pats E34 was a twin at one point. You have to search the RoachFly forum for the posts and pictures.
