So frustrated with not being able to find a good mechanic that am I letting go of her! : ("

For sale is (my) ***FEMALE-OWNED AND DRIVEN****1985 BMW 528e, a RARE classic  with approximately 225,000 miles on it (mileage is approximate as I don't have the car in front of me--the car has been sitting at the *#*(*!!! shop since April--the  odometer does work!), but was told it has a newer engine in it.  I purchased this BMW in April 2006 and am the 4th owner.  I have put thousands of dollars into this car since owning it to make it a total delight to drive!  All the electricals work!   Sunroof works, gauges work, seats work, even the headrests work! This car is not currently running--I think it's a fuel pump, but the mechanic seems to think it's an electrical issue.  If it isn't a fuel pump, a fuel pump relay, or a speed sensor, I would be VERY surprised.  For the right guy, this is most likely a simple fix I figure. 

I've had a TON of new parts put on it.  This car has a brand new exhaust on it, a new center link, newer full suspension (control arms, tie rod ends, idler arm, etc.), new subframe bushings, new radiator and water pump, and MANY OTHER NEW PARTS THAT I AM NOT THINKING OF AT THE MOMENT. 

The idle control valve needs cleaned on it to keep it from revving up and down, but that really isn't a big deal.  It does need the fabric over the sunroof (interior) tightened on as it is torn at the front edge from opening and closing the sunroof.  Also, the "528E" badge is missing from the trunk but the BMW badges are newer.  It has a smidge of rust on the drivers front quarter panel in the usual expected place.  Front and rear brakes and rotors are newer.  I have dumped many thousands of dollars into this car since I bought it from a guy in Boston who bought it from Taylor "Teak" Ackman of Newport RI.  He was an enthusiast who really decked this car out with a Pioneer radio/cd player (with really cool visual display options to match the music!) with 6 disc changer, huge speaker and two amps in the trunk.  This car features a wooden Momo steering wheel AND shift knob for a vintage feel! 

Black leather seats are in super shape and have been kept covered the whole time I've owned it (to keep them nice)!  Black Rhino heavy-duty floor mats purchased from Bav Auto (Bavarian Autosport).  It has Bav Auto racing wires, a K & N air filter, newer Bilstein HD shocks and newer Bav Auto red lowering springs.  I had so many things done to it after I purchased it to tighten it up!  It has 17" slotted rims (some road rash) with good tires.  There is NO AC in the car--components were removed by the Teak, the PO and enthusiast from RI.  It has a newer battery and brand new alternator too! 

I'll add to this description as I think of things to add.  I'll try to get more pics but I work so much and commute an hour each way that it will be tough to do this time around. 

This is a very unique car and would be a wonderful father/son project or enthusiast project for total restoration to bring it back to its glory!  No one in town has one of these, and they're not making any more of them!

Would be willing to consider a good solid work car even or partial trade if it doesn't sell such as a 1991 Mercedes 300se, a 2001 Honda Civic EX or LX, or a Hyundai Sonata.  Message me with any questions.  As always, please physically look at and inspect the car prior to bidding--this is a 28 year old car, though it is truly one of the greatest ever made!  : )  No warranties express or implied--car sold as is, where is.  It will need towed in its present condition.  All sales are final and deposit is non-refundable.

Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction early, even if there are bids on it. 

Thanks!
