Sorry, already sold !!!!
1988 BMW M6
(e-mail for price or reference
#2417932575 Auction
on Ebay), located near SF, CA
Why buy
a hyper performance sports car that is a project, or waste your time with
one that has not been driven and needs attention? When it comes to real
estate, it is location, location, location. With cars, it is records,
records, and records, and I have the complete history of this shark. Do
not let the high mileage scare you. This car was always well taken care
of by professionals and 80 percent of the miles were easy ones on HWY
5 at speed and with no traffic (first owner's Visalia to LA commute).
If something did break, it was immediately fixed, just look at the service
records.This is a clean M6, with nearly 300 hp and all the Dinan mods
that are important. Just get in and drive, fast (but not furious). I am
selling this as I bought this car for my wife, but she did not "take
to it", so to speak (she wanted an automatic).
This
car cost $60K when new, my reserve on the auction is much less than 1/6th
of that !!! Who
needs a Porsche?

Known
Needs and issues:
- Brake lining
warning light stays on, but brakes are fine. The Dinan brakes
interfere with the stock sensor
- Front tires
will need replacing in the next 5K miles. I have priced them
- The car
was in a minor accident where a "certain person" sideswiped
a chain link face after a hydroplaning excursion. No major damage,
but the side was resprayed and we needed a new front spoiler and
a new antennae (your gain, those are made from "Unobtainium"
and have to be imported from Germany).
- Sometimes,
you need to lower the window a tad to close the door tightly.
It is a known issue on cars with frameless windows and is not
related to any body alignment issues.
- Carfax brings
back an "odometer rollback", but it is 60 miles (sixty).
It is a clerical error.
**While I am
not aware of any other issues, this is not a new car and is being
sold as is. While it is very clean and runs great, please do
not expect 110 % perfection.
