The GREAT (Recent Investments):
I've done significant work to address common failure points:
Transmission Service: Fluid, filters, and new solenoids.
Critical Fixes: New alternator, battery, IBS, valve cover gaskets, water pump, water coolant pipe, and front brakes (rotors & pads).
Performance: New cold air intake, OEM mass airflow sensor, spark plugs, and coils.
Paperwork: Clean title in hand. Registration paid and current through December 2026.
This is a 19-year-old German V8. It is not a Toyota. It has the classic N62 engine quirks. While it starts, runs, and drives well right now, it should be considered a project or weekend car. It may have minor electronic gremlins, occasional sensor lights, or need attention down the road. It's for someone who enjoys tinkering or has a trusted mechanic.
The OPPORTUNITY:
For $6500 or best offer, you get a powerful, fun-to-drive classic BMW with a ton of recent major work already done. You're buying into the driving experience, not a daily driver appliance.
Perfect for a DIYer, second car, or passionate project. Sold as-is, where-is. Test drives welcome for serious buyers with cash in hand.
