Looking to sell or trade my 1984 BMW 533i. This model was only made in 1983 and 1984, and is known to be quicker than its' later 535i counterpart. This is also an early 1984 model, meaning it has the light flywheel from the factory, a very popular upgrade for later years. NADA low retail is $4,150, but I want nowhere near that. Yes, the listing is long, but I am being 100% honest about the car. I don't like to hide stuff by just saying "needs work" like others like to do.

3.2L Straight six, 180hp. 178,000 miles.

I originally got it to restore, but then got overwhelmed and decided to part with it. The car is 100% complete, and DOES need work/towed. Remember, this is a 29 year old car.

The good - 

-It runs and runs well. Before the slave cylinder went bad, I was driving it almost daily.
-Service indicator on the cluster has been disabled. I managed to remove the battery before it had a chance to ruin the cluster. 
-It is 100% complete with the exception of the factory radio and factory rims.
-Not many of these exist anymore. It was a head turner when I drove it around.
-Still has the toolkit! Some tools are missing, but it's rare to even have the kit at all anymore.
-Has a set of nice 15" Borbet 5 spoke rims.
-The interior is in surprisingly good shape for a 29 year old euro car.
-Includes a $70 Bentley e28 repair manual that still looks brand new.

The bad - 
-Has all the typical BMW e28 rust. There is a large rot hole in the trunk where the bumper support used to be. This is a very common issue with the e28.
-The doors have rust, and there is rust around the license plate light holes. Both common areas. The hood also has rust.
-The power windows work when they want to. I was told that the power window switch contacts are most likely the issue.
-Windshield is cracked.
-Front bumper is crooked from being bumped. Shouldn't be too hard to get it back into alignment. I can see under the hood where it's bent, and it's not too bad. (This is the accident the Autocheck mentions.)
-Needs shifter plate bushings (another common issue)
-Needs to have the slave cylinder replaced or rebuilt for the clutch. It went out on me in October, which was the last time I drove the car.
-Needs a few things here and there. After completing the bodywork and the repairs it needs, it will be a very nice car.

Pictures are only available on request.

I am looking to get $2500 or best reasonable offer OR straight up trade for a 1998+ Crown Vic/Marquis, 1998 or later pickup truck (manual), or anything 1998 or later that doesn't have a timing belt. I will however, consider other vehicles, as long as they aren't a 4 cylinder. I am not stiff on the price, but bear in mind, I will not accept offers unless you come and look at the car first.

Serious buyers only! Only contact me if you are interested, as I am looking for a quick sale to get back on my feet with a job. Thanks! No calls, no texts.


Vehicle is being sold AS-IS with no warranties or guarantees implied.

I will require a $250.00 deposit within 24 hours of the auction close. Vehicle must be picked up within 7 days of auction close, or you will lose your deposit and the vehicle will be relisted.

Bid with confidence! I possess a 100% Positive Feedback rating.

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

One of the many perks of this job is, not surprisingly, the cars. It's relatively easy to snag the keys to a vehicle for a special occasion, whether that be for a road trip, tailgating or helping a friend move. And while sometimes the tailgating might happen with a Ford F-150 instead of a Range Rover and the road trip might be in a minivan rather than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, occasionally the stars align and a special vehicle arrives for an equally special time.
That's exactly how I found myself dressed to the nines and behind the wheel of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a $135,375 (as-tested) rocket ship, en route to a rare multi-wedding weekend to celebrate with two pairs of my closest friends on the biggest day of their lives (a very special congratulations to Kara and Zach, and Laura and Andrew). Continuing with our nuptial theme, the M mechanicals and the 6 Series Gran Coupe body are a match made in heaven.
