I figured that it would be easiest, if I posted a picture for everyone to see on the web along with a brief description of the car.
Check out: http://www.thenethoster.com/uploads/guest/bimmer-1.jpg
for a picture. Might not be best picture that I ever took, but you can see general condition of car.
Summary of car:
-1986 535i automatic converted to 5-speed last fall at Automotiv School where I'm a student.
-New driveshaft (Portland Driveline) last month (still had slight shudder).
-Engine sound (125K). Pulls strong and consumes virtually no oil between oil changes (was auto most it's live). Replaced cap, rotor, wires, Throttle sensor, plugs (Wr9ls), radiator hoses, water pump.
-Exterior good shape. Has been repainted in certain areas. Seems to have been rear ended before I owned it. Took it to body shop where it was pulled back within specs. No doggy tracking or abnormal tire wear. Some surface rust around trunk /taillight area.
-Interior is in good shape. Front seats are cracked.
-Car currently has stock 14" rims (from 633 CSI) and decent Michelin's, but have 850i rims in excellent shape that could be mounted on car.
-Factory stereo from '89 325 with subwoofer and amp.Here's what I think car needs:
1. brake accumulator work. rest of brakes are good condition.
2. driveline shudder. perhaps adjustment.
3. heater blower bearings shot.
Thanks for all the e-mails.
If you have any more questions, please contact me.
