This has been a daily driver for the past 12 years. I stopped driving it regularly a couple of years ago and when I went to start it had intermittent starting issues. In the past 6 months, the coil, in-tank pump, and ICM + ballast resistor were replaced + coil wire. We got it running again, and then had the same no-start issue occur again. I've run out of time to fix and need to store another vehicle where it's parked. These are really cool BMW's - classic look, real bumpers, great road feel and handling, cheap parts, easy to work on, and strong enthusiast community to boot. Also a great platform to upgrade suspension and/or drop in a 3.5 liter or V-8. Possible Restoration candidate. I have quite a bit of documentation on the vehicle and a bin of spare parts. * Clutch and clutch cylinder were replaced around 2010* Previous owner upgraded the front seats to D&W Recaros - very grippy! (these are probably E21 series originally - worth nearly my BIN price when reupholstered)* Custom MOMO steering wheel* I swapped the intake manifold runners to boost low-end torque * Rear deck was swapped for a reupholstered '85 528 deck with newer speakers * Headlights upgraded to Cibie Hella H4 55/60w * Turn signal actuator switch and cable replaced with NOS part in 2011* Suspension and bushings need check-up due to time vehicle has been sitting Parts:* Extra ECU* 2 extra AFMs * Rotor cap * NOS Front license plate mount * NOS Front fog lights * Variety extra seat belts and buckles from an '85 528 * Misc. speakers and intake vents * OEM manual * OEM sales brochure* Clamps, hoses* Door seal restoration trim * Variety of magazines, one featuring a turboed E12 conversion Tach and Speedo were disconnected during efforts to diagnose starting issue. Odometer is not working (gear issue). The car turns over, but is not starting. Selling as-is, where-is, be prepared to have vehicle towed at your expense.
