That car sounds incredible=P Where is it for sale?

Also curious on the for sale ad!

The page best describes the differences of the late e34 sport models.

Hopefully that works for you.  It's on the CCA classifieds.  There is an oxford green for sale as well but this one really grabs my eye!

Wow, I have sent the seller 7 or 8 emails with zero response.  I see the tel# was just added.  Bummer that it is a pile of shit.  Rusted?  Interior trashed?

All of the above. I was the first to look at it when it was listed. It was leaking oil badly, if you opened the heat vents in the car coolant would piss into the engine bay, the exhaust was routed so bad that it was hitting the frame but hanging down right after it that it was almost touching the ground, the carpet was soaked from a bad sunroof gasket( i assume) the dash was painted with a brush, the milage was inaccurate as all the gauges were aftermarket, the battery was floating around in the trunk, the carb needed a rebuild, it had no overdrive, and there was rust bubbling in various spots all over. But besides that, it was a mint $500 car.
