So true. And the interior would have looked half decent if he blacked out the grey...

Looks good except for maybe some funky panel alignment with the hood and fenders. If it checked out as straight from a shop, this could be a pretty decent one. It certainly has a good color combo, and sounds like it's been maintained.

Higher mileage, but well maintained. I really wish he'd left it calypso though.

Yikes.

If anyone cares to make a bad decision on a 740i M-Sport.

https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/mcy/d/schaumburg-2000-bmw-740i-sport/6874868393.html

Or a slightly less bad decision on one in a cool color. LOVE how it looks when the light hits it.

There's two other 740 sports for sale in the Chicago area as well, so no lack of options with those haha.

18" style 32's

https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/wto/d/elkhart-lake-bmw-csl-rims/6847362697.html

Cheap set of 3 CSL wheels, good candidates for a wheel table project?

[YoungCR]

Shame on that 8 series, its not hard to find black cars lol

[straight6pwr]

those style 32s are getting around the block. @GunMetalGrey did you sell them to someone from MKE?

That's not the same set. 

I did not sell them in MKE, they went up to MN.

hmm, i see a big tire mounting gouge on one, which i thought there was on my set. coincidence!

You made me double-check, and even though they have super similar marks from mounting (c'mon tire shops!) I feel like the tires debunk the correlation.

I got to drive one of these at the dealer, I wonder what the actual production numbers were for 2011-2013 manual F10’s.

It was 500 something F10 M5's with a 6spd and only released in the U.S. and Canada.

so maybe 2 dozen manual 550i's? Concours had 2 M-Sport 535i's they ordered for inventory and sold very quickly each time.

Manual e91! AWD and beige interior though...

A late model e30 sedan in my favorite shade of chalky red

https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/d/muskego-2011-bmw-128i-mt-6-cyl/6876216043.html

I've been eyeing one of these as a potential first or second "real" car once I'm out of school in a few years, any thoughts? A manual 128i seems to check all the boxes.

That e91 is a buddy of mine and an old forum member here.  His name's Andy, he's a good dude.  I'm trying to convince him that an e90 m3 is the way to go.

The 128i is really "meh" car.  Doesn't do anything with any excitement and there's just about zero aftermarket if you want to modify the engine.  If you're going to get a 1er just get a 135i and live with the consequences of owning an n54.  Or get an n55 and live with fewer consequences.

Andys car is super tempting to me as I really want to replace my daily with a wagon, and it checks all the right boxes. Im kind of surprised its not sold already honestly.
