That might be a good deal. why would you not replace a clutch hose if that is all it needs?

Because deep in your heart of hearts you know that isn't all it needs.

Hope is the only thing stronger than experience.

It probably has all the other BMW deferred maintenance problems as well.

At that price someone should go look at it though.

If I were close I would.

that's a perfect candidate for a box-flared 3.0CSL tribute Challenge car!

I still see a lot of fairly cheap E24s around. I wonder if that will start to change soon.

In reply to Datsun1500:

fairly limited production, similar hp ratings as porsche 911s of the same vintage and not all that mysterious to DIY. Not all that far from climbing in value. E9s might be a decent predictor of future values.

I suspect that the "17" wheels are the OE metric ones that are something like 16 5/8 that getting tires for are impossible now and thus you are doing them a favor and taking them.

I'm just barely out of that age range and I drooled over these cars growing up. I seem to have sick fascination with the 6 series BMW and Porsche 928... God Help me

Those and w126 Mercedes coupes are both worthless to most people if they aren't nice. A 6 series is worth less than half what an e30 is from what I have seen.
