This auction is for a 1992 BMW 525i. Glacier Blue Metallic exterior and navy blue interior. It can be fixed up or used for parts. Since I first listed the car on eBay, a mechanic came by and helped me to start the car. It took a new battery and tinkering with the starter and solenoid, which needs a repair. Mileage has been updated to 161,400. Once started, the car was running well for having sat all year. I am the second owner of this vehicle. It was garaged only part of the time and driven in Massachusetts winters, which accounts for the rust. My local mechanic said that rust is evident underneath as well; gas or brake lines might need replacing soon (but then I stopped driving it). A potential buyer, who is a mechanic, thought the underside looked pretty good, including the exhaust. The car has been sitting for 15 months and the battery is dead. When I last backed it out of the garage, a caliper was locked up and still is. Before that, the engine was running well. The struts are bad. One of the tail lights is out; it might need a new bulb socket and bulb. I replaced the clutch about 4 years ago. The interior is in very good condition for its age. The leather has begun to dry out over the past year now that I have stopped conditioning it, but there are not any rips or tears. Only the doors have some vinyl pieces pulling away where the glue has broken down. The winter tires have some life left and I have four decent summer tires that I can add for the right price. The car is wired for a CD player in the trunk, but the player/changer has been removed.
