love it. 2 e36's both listed at 14k and both sellers needing to sell in order to buy a house in the same timeframe. I guess i shouldn't be surprised considering it's home-buying season.

That white one looks like trash. Anything with a sticker on the front windshield that says "just drift it" is basically an automatic fail

That and the fact that he threw on over fenders but the wheels he has on would have easily fit under a stock bodied car lol

[Bassboy3313]

That's what confused me too

Thanks to guidos, nobody can spell giubo properly. [emoji36]

His quarters were probably rotten and that was the cheapest way to "fix" them

[Rekpoint]

Felony Form over fenders can look great if done right. It looks like they aren't even painted smh

I have a few friends (not from Wicsonsin) with Felony Form cars and they can look really good. This is one of those examples where the person has a white car and thinks the gel coat is a good enough white to not even worry about painting them lol.

Do anybody know anything about this e34? Apparently it's been for sale for a long time which is a red flag to me, my friend may go look at it today.

saw this ad awhile back. my thoughts -

1)strange two-tone interior which they have clearly dyed from gray to black in places. touring interiors are very hard to come by if you wanted to fix this by replacing them

2)air ride suspension 

3)black out tint

3)all the things wrong from his ad

-sunroof won't open not a fun fix
-interior needs work duh
-rear door Windows don't work new regulators $$, but could be wiring?
-rear left door card is garbage see 'duh' above
-rear seat needs to be repainted see 'duh' above
-cracked windshield easy fix
-rear hatch window works when she wants. not an easy fix, but doable
-split rear bumper e34 bumpers arent expensive but still has to be replaced
-damage to front right bumper. I slid into a snow bank.  see above. also looks like the nose panel is broken and possibly the fender is damaged

4)The 5-speed swap, e36 steering wheel, wheels, and paint condition are nice!

conclusion - overpriced, but not by a lot

Yikes. Thanks for your input. The title is "in his sisters name" which is another huge reg flag to me. I'm trying to steer my buddy away, as sweet as a bagged e34 touring is.

If I had a son or daughter in high school I would say this would be a great project car, a lot of different repairs for him/her to learn on their own car. If you could get it for a reasonable price.

Yeah I would agree. He can only have one car right now with his living situation so he would sell his f-body to accommodate the E34, not a smart choice IMO when he needs a somewhat reliable car to get to work everyday.

That touring might be a good deal at $4k considering the work that would have to be put in to make it "good" condition.  Looks great!  I've always loved those wheels.

[suspenceful]

I'm not gonna lie, I kinda want that touring now...

[RobZR]

I love a nice E34 touring,  but this one looks like a polished turd. The red flag BS detector is in overdrive on this one.

240K on the body with a 110K? S52.  maybe....   97% rust free  not...

$6k not even close.   hell I don't even think Calypso would be worth that, and it's 100% rust free.

this one reminds me of the 1st Hellrot 540Ia I had after a year every panel was bubbling with rot.

I dont think that price is bad. Talk him down to $3500,

felony form overfenders  $500
esr wheels $500
raceland coilovers $200
poly diff / subframe bushings  $100
csl wing $100

So $1500 in shit parts, and $2000 for a beat to shit E36. Seems fair....

That touring just looks awesome, and I totally want it, and seems about the same deal.

[RobZR]

Here is one that might actually be worth the effort. at 1/3 the price.

https://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/6060150224.html 

Just need to find a straight rear door.

If this is the same car, below is the previous info. Besides the light changes the M5 mirrors aren't on the car anymore. Read the posts below this link. Dan forgot about his investigative work lol.

Fwiw there is a tan/tan e34 525it in schmidts in Waunakee with front end damage.
