Must have too many projects ... like my 1987 BMW 535is I just pretty much gave it to a friend of mine who needs another car.

I'm afraid it's true...I need a bit of money to fund another project that's come up. I've been speaking to a lot of people about the car, including a former owner. I was surprised to learn from him that it was also included in one of the MTV "Road Rules" series.

Here's some other features on the car:

Feel free to comment on the car...or owner...or how awesome it is... ;D

Trades for E30s are welcome, if anyone wants to take a crack at the car. It's a hoot to drive at 6psi...and it includes a 12psi spring...  8)

Yup, that's my ride! It's still here, but hopefully will be off to a new owner soon. It's been a chore to find just the right person for this car. There has been a lot of interest and potential offers, but no deposits.
