I am open to package deal offers on two or more of the following: 1998 M3 5 speed slick-top turbo sedan, 1985 535i running driving parts car, 1991 535i 5 speed, 1987 535is art car, 1985 635csi art car, 1984 733ia art car.
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in FAIR but 99.99% RUST-FREE condition overall. It has a nice stance with blacked out trim, nice M3 wheels with light curb rash, one missing rear side moulding, sizeable crack on right side of windshield, along with various nicks, scratches, fading, touch ups and other cosmetic blemishes.
THE INTERIOR
The interior of this 1985 BMW is in FAIR condition overall. The POSITIVES include ICE COLD A/C, working electric windows, gaues, odometer, lights, horn and blinkers. The not-so-great include torn passenger seat upholstery, loose door panel, missing radio, loose obd panel, ABS light illuminated and general wear, tear and soiling.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1995 BMW starts perfectly with excellent running 2.8 liter engine, nice shifting transmission, excellent braking, tight and responsive steering, crisp, tossable handling and taut ride. Imperfections include what appears to be noisy clutch throwout bearing and a bit of wear to the front suspension components. Overall this car is a real hoot to drive and would make a great weekend track car! Check out my short test drive video on youtube by typing in my name, Evan Esterman
