wow clean!

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.

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....

Its not what you think. My vert has 16-18k and it rides great. it just depends on if the shocks are valved correctly. 

Now the guys running 30k and 40k rates, yeah that's dumb.

IDK about you, but I can smell the bullshit from here...
