Digest Readers,

Today is a sad day. I need to sell my 735i. Here is the story: 

I am moving and can't take this car with me. I bought it only in July as a
project.

It is one of the very rare 5-speeds, there were less than 300 imported to
the US in 1988. 

Facts:

- -It is black with a black leather interior.

- -The exterior is in great shape. No body rust or major dents.  

- -The car was stolen and had some interior pieces taken out.(door panels,
center console, dash cluster) To my surprise most all of the wire
harnesses were not cut, rather unplugged. I replaced the missing pieces.

- -The leather seats are in great shape.

- -The mileage , because the original cluster was stolen, is unknown, but I
have documentation to believe the car has 150k.

- - I had some front end work done to it (new control arm, idler arm,
bushings) and it rides real smooth. I bought new z rated tires and had a
four wheel alignment.

- -Engine runs great. Sounds great. Does have an oil leak that developed in
the past week.

- - Transmission needs a little attention. The bushing at the base of the
stick is worn out so the stick feels a little sloppy. Other than that the
tranny seems in good shape.

- -The headliner is sagging.

- -I am missing the wood insert that goes around the stick as well as the
drivers side door wood paneling. Easy to replace, just snaps in.

- -Two of the solenoids that control the the heating and cooling vents were
damaged and need replaced. I haven't looked but imagine these parts are
reletivly cheap.

- -Ok, sounds like a long list but most of this stuff could be done in a
couple of weekends. I did buy the Bentley Manual ($119) and would be
willing to include that with the car. This car is considered salvaged in
CT but not in Mass or NH. Guys this is a rare one. I am in a bind and am
willing to take offers. Is $6k too reasonable? Anyone have opinions about
trying an ebay auction? The car is located in central Connecticut but may
be moved to another New England location depending on my situation. I will
email the list when I get pics posted.

Email me if you have any questions.
