Had a complete PPI done, report available for review.

All engine checks were great, cam chain looked "very good"

Leak down results were 6%-8%-4%-6%-6%-6%

Parts that were flagged have been replaced: Fuel Filter, coolent hose, lower ball joints, clutch slave cylinder.

I have also replaced the catalytic converter with Magnaflow unit

It now has 140,000 miles on it.

The only bad part is the A/C compressor has a blown front seal. I have decided not to have it fixed. I will reduce the price to allow the new owner to get it repaired at a local shop to make any warranty issues easy to resolve

A bit about the car:

It is one of less than 30 USA spec cars that came with the black leather hide interior.

Except for a newer clutch the engine, trans and diff are original. It does have new driveshaft and half-shafts

Many small parts and trim pieces have been replaced to improve the appearance. It has a complete tool kit of course. I have many other spare parts such as brake pads, original BMW cloth seat covers (I think they sold them to throw over your seats to protect the leather if you got dirty while you were out) and stock mud flaps (never installed, great for protecting the body but just to ugly)

Major changes from stock:

1) Euro Headlight conversion (I still have the original lights and grills)
2) Euro headers installed and new exhaust, including cats
3) Limited edition Momo steering wheel released in the late 80’s for the M5/M6 (still have stock wheel)
4) 540 rear brake conversion
5) 17” wheels w/ Goodyear GS-D3 (Original wheels stored safely in garage)
6) J. Conforti chip upgrade

Previous owner installed Dinan suspension (springs, shocks, sway bars) cam gear and K&N air filter. I do have all the Stock suspension parts and air box

Finally, the rarest of the rare, I have a SPARE ECU (with stock chip and a Dinan chip)

I am told the stock wheels and ECU are worth well over $2000, but I want everything to go with the car.

I am asking $18,000 for the car with all the spare parts.
