💥🚨💥🚨💥🚨💥🚨💥 Good deal on a 2002 with some neat parts (Don't worry I already messaged him) 

https://appleton.craigslist.org/cto/d/neenah-1969-bmw-2002/7077999450.html

Well he responded but still hasn't set a time up for me to come see it. I wanted to go there today, but he works nights so he cant show it today? 

Says he only owned it a year. Anyone know anything about this car?

A great deal for a really clean late model e30 vert

Was this the avus blue one for $2k with a salvage title? I was eyeing it.

Update, Im checking it out Sunday. Wish me luck.

Welp, this is one of those, "You dont know unless you see it" kind of cars. I struggled to get good pictures from the owner so I made the drive,  here is what I found.....

The Motor actually was the best part of the car. the block was repainted and it ran well (see video below) So I assume its been refreshed recently

the black everywhere is someone using POR-15 to "stop the rust?"

IMG_E0550.JPG

Seats were really rough. the passenger seat was missing the lower cushion. I think they are from a GTI? the BWA steering wheel was really neat though.

The drivers door was actually from a Malagna car and resprayed

Floor patch

IMG_E0544.JPG

Rusted floor

IMG_E0547.JPG

cracking and hole in floor

IMG_E0548.JPG

trunk had a few poorly patched areas

IMG_E0551.JPG

the front fenders, valance, and hood were all fiberglass with euro lights

IMG_E0557.JPG

this side wasnt as bad as the other side, but look at the seam

IMG_E0559.JPG

IMG_E0562.JPG

Here you can see one of the trunk patches

IMG_E0563.JPG

Orange block and aftermarket headers

IMG_E0565.JPG

Front valance under the fiberglass one was completely gone and what was left was falling apart

IMG_E0566.JPG

IMG_E0567.JPG

home made center console

IMG_E0568.JPG

aftermarket suspension but I have no idea what it is.

IMG_E0569.JPG

Both front edges of the floor were worn through

IMG_E0570.JPG

This is a hole through the middle of one of the front frame rails

IMG_E0546.JPG

but here is a nice video of it idling

Everywhere I looked, there was a half assed repair. What really pushed me away though, was the fact that the rear wheel arches were COMPLETELY rotted away, and instead of fixing them correctly, someone just slapped some flares and cans worth of bondo over all the rust. You could see daylight coming through almost anywhere you looked. It was really bad.

Sounds more like a parts car than a project car unfortunately... walking away was very much the right call there

It seems to be around there for most of the 6 cylinder z’s I’ve seen, especially with a manual. Even the four bangers are going for more than one might think they would. I’d be hard pressed to got for a z3 when a z4 with a n52 isn’t that much more. 
 

That may just be due to my current obsession with the z4 3.0si coupes right now though.
