Looks a little rough around the edges, but it has an OEM glass moonroof!!!

Wow, I never knew that this was an option. Still prefer slicktops but learned something new this morning.

I think it was a dealer option at the time, they go for crazy money when they come up now!

I also wasn't aware either. 

[YoungCR]

It’s a rare dealer option on E28’s too. They share the same glass as the Saab 9000 which is more common and can be retrofitted.

Intradusting.

This M5 only came in black but has no SC kit. Not sure about the price given the mods, but it could be a nice driver.

Heavy, underpowered go-kart:

My inner old man wouldn't mind getting back into a fine executive automobile such as this. Sadly, the same inner old man thinks the price should be $1000 lower.

That Cappucino was bought by my friend and I drove him to get the car. It's an amazingly fun vehicle. We have been bombing around the backroads in it for the past couple weeks.

I love how everyone loves to whip out the term "M-Sport" when selling their e39. When they only came for 2003.

I'm no expert but that may actually be an X5 4.6is which would make it a pre-X5 M M car.  I have this odd love for the e53 4.6 and 4.8 IS SUV's.  It's the right color and the ad says 4.6L which the standard X5 was a 4.4 V8.

Has 85k, not 21k... but I still want it SO BAD. Would be the perfect E36 to start with.

Is the Auto Section the only part that charges (besides job listings)?  I haven't perused CL for a long time, although I did find my last truck on CL.....in Seattle.  That was a hike.

Perfect youtube content. Ditch the 335i and grab this.

I messaged him about a trade. He wasn't interested and I don't blame him.

I wish I was in the position to add yet another BMW to the stable.

[patsbimmer1]

A family friend is putting his Dakar E36 m3 up for sale soon with a decent mod list.  BBK, coilovers, tune, LTW wing, etc.  It's been driven seldom but they're long time owners and have maintained it well. I'd buy this if I was in the position to in a heartbeat.  Once there's an ad I'll post it up here.
