Yeah, but someone in Australia would love it. I actually like this M5...

Couldn't tell if they had the ashtray feature- that would be a plus. Audio controls are also a plus, just not sure about making brackets to fit...They're also not quite dark enough to match my marine blue interior. Good find, though.

Okay, its not as bad as that 6 series and the finished product (if it looks like the pic above) is pretty cool. I guess I'm a bit conservative in taste...

This is an odd one...

Thanks, Jim! If its not gone by then, I'm game! Otherwise, we will probably have to wait til fall. Should be able to afford another by that time.

So, if any of the DC/Nova locals wanna go cruise somewhere on Thursday Eve, Friday, or Saturday- let me know. My car seems to be selling albeit cheaper than expected and I want to do one last drive. I think I'm getting it tuned really nicely on Thursday- to a point thats better than ever. I figure thats the FAQer way of doing things. I will introduce the new owner to the forum and want them to have as good an experience as I did with the car and forum. If anyone wants to join me on my drive, let me know.

Or is that bad form after its "technically" sold? Honestly, I'm glad just driving it to a bar in Old Town and drowning my sorrows- even though I'll have another one this year. :-)

#3, everybody needs Lady Luck...

Awwww, if I didn't have to sell my car I would look into that. If its what they claim, that is a really good bargain.

The description makes it sound like there could be a lot of goodies hidden away in that garage...

Try Key Auto Upholstery in Alexandria...

Wish I could be there! Sleeping in my own car, of course! lol. Have fun!

Okay, thats it. I've seen 'em and know what I want in my next '02. Those are ridiculously awesome!

Its gorgeous, but I'm with Esty. At that price, it should have the right door cards and seats. I'm offering the right door cards and a set of late model door cards for 1/3 of that price. lol. I do wish my car were as pretty, though.

Looks great! I'm excited for you and glad to help out when my schedule permits. Just shoot me an email when you need some extra hands to do some wrenchin'.

Jim, thanks for posting the pics. Thas was a great day! BMW or not, I'm still showin' up at the '02 events!

have a '73 finished in Chamonix with Marine Blue interior. I need the cash for my business, so I must sell. I have spent a lot of money on the car without ever considering selling the vehicle. Had I known that I would sell the car, I would not have invested so much. I paid top dollar for the best parts and accessories I could find.

a few details:

*Restored E21 Recaros with perforated seating surfaces. Seats are mint!

*Period correct Cibie Super Oscars

*New Carpet- not installed

*New Blue/white Coco Mats

*Refinished Momo mesh style 14" wheels. Finished in BMW Carbon Black

*New tires

*New Urethane sway bar bushings installed

*New Bilstein sports installed in the rear of car

*New Bilsteins sports for front- not installed

*New Bavarian autosport springs- not installed

*New front + rear urethane bushings- not installed

*New Wheel bearings- not installed

*New Kidney grille

*New Center link and control arms- not installed

*Almost mint door panels with new chrome strips from aardvark- not installed

*Nardi wood wheel

*Nardi shift knob

*New Battery

*Rebuilt top end of engine

*Chrome Valve cover and various other chrome engine pieces

*New Hella lights

*Alpine and JL Audio stereo installed

*Weber 38/38

*New plugs, wires, IE electronic ignition/distributor

Lots of other work completed, but not listed. Many other new and spare parts not listed. Car was rust free when I bought in in CA, but some surface rust has appeared around paint flaws. The rust is so minimal, that I probably didnt need to mention it. I've spent about $14K on purchasing the car, service, parts, etc. This car is solid. I'm asking $8,000, but glad to discuss any offers. Please email me for further info at xlittlejohnx @ yahoo

Again, can't believe I'm doing this. Sad day. :-(

MUST SELL!!!

Marshall, don't you have room for another car? Front yard or neighbors yard, maybe? My car is worth building a second workshop for. :-)

I have two functional tachs and a $20 debt. ;-)

Still can't figure out why I can't get the tach to work when installed, though. I also need to get the timing adjusted. The mechanic that I paid to install and adjust everything might have bailed on the adjustment aspect...otherwise, its still a strong runner. Might be able to use some help if you're interested. :-)
