List of work and dates: (All of the claims below can be substantiated through bills of sale, which I have. Over 15k invested during the past 4 years.)
01/12-07/12
Rebuilt the lower end of the engine (crank and connecting rods by previous owner, new BMW rod and main bearings by me) and replaced the aging oil pump. Complete re-seal of the engine.

04-06/13
Complete sheet metal restoration of small areas of rust in the rear wheel wells by a qualified shop with good restoration project experience. Repaired small ding on right rear Q.P., and scratch on bumper extension. Color matching handled by the DuPont ChromaVision system.
06/13
New OEM Tie rods and sway bar bushings up front. Full alignment after.
The previous owner had the car painted in Glasurit BASF BMW part # paint. The top surfaces are good, the sides are VG.
He also replaced the radiator, all the electrical sensors on it, the fan and mechanical clutch, the water pump and thermostat. The A/C was converted to 134a, I had the system vacuumed and refilled, and the PAG oil refreshed. The starter is also new.
All factory tags are on the body panels, and the glass is original.
The wheels are the originals with no rash, and the TRX GT's are in VG+ condition with over 80% tread.
The car is straight and quite wonderful, it drives and handles nearly as it would have out of the factory at this point, no worries or "things around the corner."
If you are looking at this and have read this far, you know it is a well maintained (beyond that, really) beautiful and rare automobile which will increase in value as time goes by. Good ones, and I mean good ones are hard to come by. One could pay out significantly to repair even a low mileage example with original parts. These are 25 years old now, and were complex machines. Buy the one that will work when you want to take it out
See the photos, ask questions. The price is fair for the work done, and for a such a complete and honest rust free car. I have other interior pics, just ask.

BMW's Quandt family in hot water over Merkel campaign contributions
Sun, 20 Oct 2013The mysterious and elusive Quandt family is in hot water again, nearly two years after its Nazi connections during World War II were exposed. The German family's patriarch, Herbert Quandt, nearly single-handedly saved BMW from being bought out by Daimler-Benz in 1959. Now, three living family members own nearly half of the German brand, and stand accused of buying votes with donations to the party of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, mere days ahead of a European Union vote that would cap vehicle emissions.
Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union accepted three donations, one from each shareholding member of the Quandt family.
Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union accepted three donations, one from each shareholding member of the Quandt family, totaling 690,000 euros ($935,000), on October 9. The CDU, for what it's worth, claim the donations weren't related to any political decisions and that the family have been donors for years. A Quandt family spokesperson, meanwhile, said that the family had been waiting for Germany's September 22 elections to pass before making a large contribution to the CDU.
BMW planning Chinese recall for engine part issue [w/video]
Mon, 17 Mar 2014After receiving an unspecified number of complaints in China, BMW has reportedly started a "full investigation" into what may be a defective part in its VANOS engine control system. BMW said via a Chinese blog that it would file a recall application with the the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine in China.
BMW has not yet announced how many vehicles will be recalled, or which models the potential recall might cover. We're also curious as to whether the VANOS issue could extend into markets outside of China.
We've placed a call with BMW in the United States, and will update this post as soon as we hear back. Stay tuned for more, and if you're curious about what VANOS is and how it works, scroll down below for a video animation.
BMW reveals full details on M235i Racing
Tue, 17 Dec 2013We were suitably excited when BMW first announced the imminent arrival of the M235i Racing. After all, what's not to like about a factory-prepared racecar with 333 horsepower you can pick up for just eighty grand? Now BMW has released the full details on the latest addition to its racing portfolio, where it joins the M3 DTM, M3 GT4, Z4 GTE/GT3 and 320 TC in a growing family of competition machinery prepared by BMW Motorsport.
Based on the new 2 Series coupe, the M235i Racing is the first M Performance model for the track, and boasts the line's most powerful engine: the 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight six has been optimized to 333 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. A mechanical limited-slip differential helps transfer the power to the track surface, along with race-tuned ABS, DSC and traction control.
Four-pot calipers up front and two-pot calipers in the rear shave off speed for the corner and are packed inside the 18-inch alloys, with KW dampers and H&R suspension components. Inside there's a six-point racing harness and Recaro bucket surrounded by an FIA-certified roll cage, and customers can even have an extra seat installed to take passengers for ride-alongs. All of which can be yours for €59,500.00 - equivalent to $82k at today's rates, before taxes.
