Clearing the driveway, because I've got no reason to own five cars.
I'm doubt anyone here is interested in something like this, but I'm throwing it out there anyway just in case someone needs a "first car".
It's got 215,000 miles or so, a windshield leak after a replacement, and in general isn't in perfect shape. The interior is gorgeous, the manual transmission is a pleasure to operate, and it doesn't feel tired at all. Shocks "need" replacing, but they're fine on the road. You only notice on those irritating parking lot speed bumps.
I can dig into more details, but what you're looking at here is a weekend warrior for corner carving, or a decent first car for a kid who you think should be able to wear a "Man Pedal" shirt; so long as you don't mind being nickeled and dimed on occasion. I honestly think it should carry at least one more person through high school or college before retirement. I'm pretty sure that was it's task for about ten years before I ended up with it.
So far as the car itself... If this thing had been rear wheel drive in 2000, BMW would have been in deep shit. It's an excellent vehicle. It doesn't drive like a FWD setup, though.
The thing is idiot-proof, honestly. If you manage to wrap this around a tree, you were trying to do so. I figured I'd slap $2,500 on it.
I'm not going to waste bandwidth here if nobody wants it, but if you're interested, I'll toss up some pictures. It's in no way perfect, as I believe it was a college car for several people, but damned if it didn't hold up well aside from the dents and dings. The interior isn't too far from being nearly perfect, but it's being held back a bit in a couple of places.
Despite the leak, it doesn't smell at all. No mustiness, no nothing. Just point the heat at the windshield in the winter and roll on.
Cheers,
Kennith
