1985 BMW 528e 5 Speed NOT RUNNING -- CAR IS SOLD!!!

CAR IS SOLD TO JASON D. WHO FLEW IN FROM COLORADO. PLEASE FIX HER UP AND DRIVE HER THE WAY SHE WAS MEANT TO BE DRIVEN!!! : )  THIS CAR IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE.

***THE FINAL PIC IN THE SLIDESHOW IS OF THE CAR FOR SALE TOGETHER WITH MY CIRRUS BLUE 1988 BMW 528E (SINCE SOLD  AND NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION).

For sale is (my) ***FEMALE-OWNED AND DRIVEN****1985 BMW 528e. a RARE classic  with approximately 225. 00 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 (receipt from Autobahn Service Center in Copley OH totaled over $3000 alone in 2009). 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 rear BMW badge is new.   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 Premier 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)!  The only thing they could use is a redye to be any better!  I used LEXOL on them regularly.   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!   

This is a very unique car isn't cosmetically perfect but 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.   I would even consider having an enthusiast who knows about them to work on it and fix it!!!  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 that has its quirks as all old BMWs do. 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. WHICH I HAVE DONE. CAR IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE.
