i call bullshit on this OBC:

I don’t know if it’s a 525i thing or an e34 thing in general, but mine does that too. Gas light comes on at 70-80 miles of indicated range on the OBC. The range seems to change with miles driven pretty accurately, so I think there just must be some correction thing that’s off. I vaguely remember reading about it once. 

It is super super clean from the photos, I just really wish it wasn’t a tan interior. And an auto.

haha yeah, i know. the gauge's scale is more exponential than linear. the range of these cars is like 350 miles, yet a tick above E is 125 left.

All those cars look super beat, but they are also cheap and have the Euro parts....

Seller is using Kelly BB to price? If so still low. $4800 - $7400 private party : excellent condition at $6200, around $4k would be high end of fair or low end of good. This one looks better than that. Maybe seller just wants out or there are mechanical "surprises"?

Turns out I know the seller. He bought another vehicle and wants to pay it off right away. its now listed on Facebook too for $3500. Its a stupid good deal and I would be shocked if it was still around by friday.

Good thing the timing belt was changed on that 335i... I'm sure that was an expensive service job....
