Compare my price to the other BMWs right here on eBay. Most BMWs this cheap are parts cars, flood cars, salvage cars, major problems, ect. Starting price is only $2000! Highest bid gets the car! This is a 1990 BMW 525i (a.k.a. E34).What a good looking body style!I love this car & hate to sell it, but that's life....Previous owner was an 82 year old retired cop who loved this car just as much as I do. Both of us have babied this car to the best of our abilities.Body is not too bad. Not perfect, but totally presentable for a 23 year old car.What little rust there is can hardly be seen. Drivers door is the worst part of the body.Drivers door has small rust at the bottom edge & the paint is peeling at the molding. Vary bottom of fenders has some rust but still intact. Paint has typical chips and scratches. Passenger fender has a bit of a dent at the top.Overall the body isn't bad for the age of the car. It is very presentable the way it is. From 10 feet away the car looks nice. I've had a lot of compliments on this car!Interior is in surprisingly good condition. Other than no radio, there's not much to tell about the condition of the interior. As expected with a BMW, the cars has a lot of toys.Photos can tell you cosmetic condition better than I can, so take a good look to judge for yourself.The only needed mechanical repairs that I know of: Drivers side rear strut mount is squeaking (I have a new one, just needs installed).Water pump needs replaced (I have found a brand new one right here on eBay for $28). The car has not overheated on me, but probably would if left running long enough.Muffler has a small hole in it (car already has a universal muffler, so I know there is no need to buy a high priced OEM muffler when a cheapie will fit this car).There is a little electric motor in the dash which controls a duct flapper, it is making some noise, but not all the time.There is no radio.Car has a set of custom wheels on it. Much better styling than stock wheels in my opinion! Work I've done since I've owned the car:Fan clutchBoth front passenger side control arms2 temp sensorsIdle control valveFlushed cooling systemReplaced 1 tire.Replaced air filter box. Once the water pump is replaced I would consider this to be a reliable car. Wouldn't hesitate to use it as a daily driver.I encourage anyone who is interested in this car to call me at 330-319-5138 to discuss the car, but please, serious buyers only.If you would like to see the car in person, call me to set up an appointment.I can not deliver the car.
