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:

I love the write up on this car, and especially the included description of seller lol.
Overall Seems like an awesome car, good luck with the sale!

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

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...

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.

M106 or M102?
