Asking $8,600. Located in Tracy, CA.
I promised my wife that if she got promoted we would buy her a new car so unfortunately this old friend has to go. : I am hoping this car will find a happy home.
Background
It started life as a US spec'd 1985 BMW 735i but has been converted with an early nose panel/bumpers with a healthy m30b35 and 5 speed conversion. I bought the car from some gentlemen in Palo Alto Hills who was trying to save it for his daughter. The 2 owners before him were both house wives and the original owner was a doctor's wife. Supposedly, it has been garaged all it's life and I've never had any reason to doubt it otherwise. It had over $20K in maintenance fees (full docs) by the time I bought and a bunch of receipts form me as well.
M30B35 installed by Yar at German Autosports (GAS) in Berkeley, CA. The swapped was completed March 2016.
GAS also installed a 5 speed conversion (g265) with a brand new clutch kit (including rear main seal) and rebuilt front brake calipers.
Car does not leak a single drop of fluid.
Garaged all it's life - Paint is in very good condition. Car has been recently detailed (clay, polished, and coated with Cquartz). Paint feel very smooth and slick. The Cquartz coating should last for years.
Car drives perfectly straight.
Early e23 nose panel conversion. New kidney grills, signal lights, and BMW emblems.
Early e23 bumper conversion. New paint.
Euro headlights with wipers (but not functional).
Early e23 chrome side mirrors.
New clone BBS air dam. New license plate molding piece.
Custom front and rear coilovers. 350F/400R. Custom valved Bilsteins with Eibach coilover 2.5" springs. Rides very comfortable. Firm but not stiff.
Custom front camber plates made by Ireland Engineering.
Front wheel bearing replaced in 2014.
New fuel pumps (in-line and in-tank) installed recently.
New spark plugs, cap and rotor, air filter, fuel pressure regulator, crank position sensor, throttle position sensor, hood shocks, etc.
New 2.5" exhaust (new Magnaflow cat, Vibrant resonator, and Magnaflow muffler).
Heater was replaced by PO, but A/C does not work.
Driver seat does not move back and forth but all other functions work.
Window seals are in very good condition throughout the car.
Wheels are BBS RS replicas... Nothing really to write home about. I bought them as temporary wheels while my Oz Futuras were getting rebuilt. The reps will come with the car 17x8.5/9.5 et15.
Viper Alarm with keyless entry.
Everything in the cluster works except for the temp gauge every once in awhile. I replaced all the gears and installed a brand new service board in the cluster. Temp gauge is the last thing that needs to be replaced.
Here's a link to some pictures I recently took an hour ago... All pics are unedited.

I guess once a project is pretty well finshed well you end up selling it as there is nothing further to do

God, I'd be all over this today and I'm mad that I wasn't looking for one back then. It's beautiful.
Lets get the party started before it's my bedtime.
