grinds my gears when people post cars for sale and it doesn't have pics
stock cars, sure, pics can come later
with modified cars...if you aren't ready to post pics, you aren't ready to post an ad
it's like setting up a fucking stand and saying here's a note describing what i'm selling, i'll have the actual product for you sometime when I have the time to display it

Rust, air conditioning (make sure it works), heater coil, radiator etc
look in the trunk and pull the cover and make sure there is no tears or crack. Quote:

For that you should ask the peanut gallery over at BCBimmers. For cars like this and age, it really depends on the physical condition.. (ie you can't really tell from pictures alone).
I think the price should be fair after some negotiation.
Just to let you know the picture is not a car with dual front air bags, so there are some variations in the description. eg that model year doesn't have traction control but have LSD instead.
I would throw out the HID and also get some period correct tires. Low profile tires transmit more vibration and stresses more the rear towers. Quote:

To continue the BMW theme, I found a 94 525i touring. (Old ad may already be sold). Could make a fun family hauler. Thoughts? 1994 BMW 525i Touring Wagon  | |

Good price given the mileage, that being said the 318 is a little underpowered. Id look for a 325i if I was going the E36 route and had a bit extra for gas.

US car. Looks sweet.
If it were a Canadian car with 100K KM instead of miles I'd probably look at it pretty hard.

The 525i Wagon (E34 5spd) is not sold. Yes its an old add, but surprisingly little interest! I've had a few steady emails but people most of the time don't reply. It is a decent cruiser, I DD it, I just want to get back into something a little lighter, faster, and less practical haha!

Ugh these rare manual BMW's, especially the wagons, are making me rethink everything...
That white wagon is something special.

Older build hence the tape deck
