LULZ. my favorite part was this:

someone said:

to this day is still used in the racing scene and still hold the tittle of an undaunted chassis.

"they only sold it to the public because they had to. "

Their mom told them if they didnt sell it to the public they couldn't have ice cream.

So much wrong here. I'm not sure what's worse, if the seller actually believes what he's saying, if he's trying to play an e30 con, or he was simply scammed by his parents. 

Something like "Honest junior it's got an M3 grill badge that's how you can tell it's a rare M3 cabriolet 325i race car. And with the special BMW v6 it's even more powerful than the original engine."

Another seller that don't go to skool

The first picture is a vertical screen shot of a horizontal picture of the front of the car both vertically and horizontally off kilter.

Super disappointed as I tried to contact this guy months ago and he never responded. The car has had about 5 new listings since, and they continue to get worse and worse... "drift car" makes me cringe.  I really want an M120 powered vehicle to straight pipe before I die.

About 5 years ago in a poor Milwaukee neighborhood, one of those little sub-$5000 used car dealerships had a e34 M5 with cloth M interior and like 325,000 miles for $3900. I'll never forget that.

I think it was, the front seats were in very poor condition

[straight6pwr]

that car was not real.

[Jdesign]

Sorry guys. Im still trying to figure in logistics. The story is the current owner bought the M5 at an estate sale and has been dealing with titling nonsense since. Thus the buyer in front of me moved on and bought a different project car leaving me next in line for the M5. The current owner now has a clean title in hand and said that he was told it needed a fuel pump to run. He installed a fuel pump and it still doesn't start. He also mentioned that its turning over but not firing and the oil looks "murky". 

[Earl]

No spark, causing the fuel to wash out the cylinders and get into the oil?
