Affiliated, mine.

I'm over my BMW ownership.

New in the last couple of months. Crank position sensor, speed sensor, cap, rotor, coil, IAC, and a Ebay ECU. It ran great for about 2 weeks and now runs like crap again. Won't idle. Might be plugs and wires, might be anything. It acts like a electrical issue. Doesn't sound or act mechanical. I don't know for sure, nor do I want to. I'm done putzing with this car.

Automatic transmission that shifts fine.

Recent valve adjustment.

I installed a rebuilt AC compressor, but the system still has a leak somewhere. Only holds a charge for a month or so.

If it sits for more than a few days, it kills the battery. I think it's in the power window system. Probably in the circuit that keeps the windows active until a door is open. I checked the door switches, but never found the problem.

The odometer gave up at 200+k. I'm not near the car at the moment for a accurate reading. Assume the mileage is above 225K.

The clear coat is pealing and there are a few rust bubbles popping up near the sun roof.

Craigslist add. http://charleston.craigslist.org/cto/5694065604.html

For the $1500, for you guys, I'll throw in a set of 17" wheels with new, unmounted, Falken tires. If you don't want the wheels and tires, $1100. Offers accepted. I promise I won't laugh in your face or be offended.

I'm willing to store the car for a few months, for anyone that can't pick it up immediately, as long as it's paid for.

I'm going to have limited internet access for the next couple of days. You can shoot me a PM or post here, if you have any questions but don't be surprised if it takes a few hours for me to respond.

Allen.

The best of the 17" wheels. I powdercoated this one. The other 4 will need painting or powdercoating.

Why do you have to post this when I'm trying to get rid of everything?? I was looking for an e24, but I think the only way I could do this is if you wanted to trade for my motorcycle...

or e28 + cash on your end (haha another old BMW)

or my truck + cash on your end.

I'll pass on the BMW and the motorcycle. Is the truck a 4 door?

Wanted one when I was a kid. Now not so sure. Out of my league even today.

Are those wheels actually E39 wheels? (They'll have a 74.1 mm centerbore and require centering rings to run on an E24, but same bolt pattern and backspacing). If you want to sell them separately (or the car buyer isn't interested), I'm interested in the wheels and maybe the tires as well, provided you're willing to ship.

I understand if you are looking for 4 door though.
