I am resending this at ther request of one of the members.
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 approx. 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.
- -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. Anyone have opinions about trying an ebay auction?
The car is located in Somerville, MA.
