Re: 93 Typhoon #1070 150k miles Black / Black on North Jersey Craigslist
What BMW? Im really looking for a straight sale - but im a sucker for clean European cars... details?
Yeah Im looking to do the same, I need to pay for some architect fees I have coming up, but I've been kicking around the idea of a beater Ty to play with.
the BMW is a 98 540i, Sport Package, 6 speed, Black on Black Leather. I was asking $6500 with my OEM M5 Wheels on it, but Im refinishing the stock Style 32's this week and was planning on relisting it for $5300 after I got the wheels finished. I unfortunately don't drive it anymore, in fact I just got it inspected last week but it was way overdue, I dont think I have even put 800 miles on it in the past 12 months :lol:
The paint isnt great, it looks good from a distance, I get plenty of compliments, but its got a handful of blems and the nose has typical stone chips.
Here is a picture from SyTy Nationals outside of the Corvette Museum
Here it is just after I got it 4 years ago,
The M5 Kidney grills will go with the car, as will the Halo Projector Headlights (since the originals suck).
I do have new in the box, repro front & rear M5 bumpers, power folding mirrors, rear trunk spoiler (lip) and $700 OEM Hella Celis tail lights too, but those will all be sold separate, as will the M5 wheels if I cant get close to my asking price with them on the car. I also have an OEM M5 rear bumper diffuser since the aftermarket ones are not dual exhaust cutouts.
I've done a few grand worth of repairs and upgrades over the past 4 years, I know I wont see a dime of that back, but its piece of mind to know they are done. Ill list them all if interested, but I wont take up the space otherwise. The only thing "wrong" with the car is the sunroof just recently stopped working (fairly common on E39's), I dont know if its the motor or a problem with the track itself, but worst case scenario is $100, since that what you can pick up a complete moonroof cassette for from a salvage yard.
