DFW O/ 850I Available - Experiment Ends

My experiment with putting my Texas Tech son in a '91 850I ended this week. I know I was crazy to try this, but always loved the look of these cars, and thought I might squeeze 2 years out of it. Would be a great weekend car, but not a daily driver. Put about $7k in it since November, all items that will help it. 6speed car with tons of service records from 3 owners. Wanted to let the local group have a chance before I let Hayes put it on the market. Looking for low $20's. E-mail me if you are interested. 88k miles, and drives very well. The best news is he's hooked on shifting now. Getting 6sp G35 tomorrow thanks to son-in-law discount.

My neighbor has an oil business up there, and he is the one that bought it from a guy down the block and put a paint job on it and sold it to me. Not that kind of gray market.

 

These were the first of the heavy electronics cars where it remembered your driving style, etc. There is just a lot to go wrong. So far most of mine has been small, like a recent wiper motor. There was not a new one in the US, but found a refurbished one finally. It might be fine now, but being in Lubbock with no good shops like Dallas Eurocars, I can't risk it laying down again. I will rephrase. Not an everyday driver for a fairly responsible 20 year old. Would do better in older hands. Knew that when I bought it, just loved the look of the car so much I wanted to make it work. For me it's not as quick as I would want, which surprised me for a 12 cylinder. It would really shine on the road. Still looks a little like the M1 to me, which is my favorite BMW of all time.

 

Beautiful car Paul.
