I have an oppertunity to get a delphin Grey 1987 735i with 103,000+ miles, garaged.

At 75k the transmission was replaced by local BMW dealer. From 94k there has been new water pump, hoses and stat. Spark plugs, air and fuel filter rotor and cap, loner control arms and belts.
At99k new fuel tank, exhaust system and cat. At 100k new radiator,power antenna.
At 103k new master brake cylinder, new water pump, AC compressor and condensor
Has the original TRX wheels and Michelin TRX mud and snow tires. It is currently on 15x7 215-60 Michelin Pilots on Racing Dynamic 5 spoke wheels.

The car comes with a set of BBS/RA wheels with Michelin TRX Mud+Snow tires.
The tires are pretty old but have almost no tread-wear. I seldom drove this car in winter (take a look at the undercarriage photo), so winter handling was never an issue.

Interior leather is like new. No cracks

Two items of note: The AC/heater push-button vacuum switches don't work.
The fan speed is adjustable and hot and cold air blow just fine. (This is a very common issue on late model e23's, but it sounds like you probably know that). Also, tachometer is on most of the time, but sometimes not. Other than that, no issues.

What should I look out for? Will be looking at car tomorrow.

      • The price is high, but probably negeotiable a bit - kff 2009-07-03 15:11:36 (90 views)
