Richard,
I think your wife will like my mother's car:
This car, in original Polaris Silver with a new (re-built) engine and transmission, originally belonged to my mother, and spent its entire life in a heated garage. Now a pristine, classic collector, this CS has been lovingly maintained and looks brand new. My father was an engineer, and early-on he had the undercarriage plating of this car modified to eliminate the rust issues endemic to E-9s. The car has never had any accidents or dents - and it shows. Very light usage and low miles (61k) maintained by a small army of BMW mechanics with a lot of time on their hands (in those days). All but the newly installed engine, transmission and cooling system are original, refurbished, or reconditioned, including the powerful, fully-operational Air Conditioning (!) so she never overheats in traffic on hot days, and blue velour and leather interior with chrome trim and electric windows front and back. 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION: Getrag 265 with 139,000 miles that has been cleaned inside and out, inspected and resealed by Pete’s Gear Shop of Hayward, CA. Custom rebuilt driveshaft. Also installed (March 2016) a BMW M30B35 208 HP 3.5 litre engine from a E-32 735i. Turns on a dime, goes like stink, and, best of all, this car (unlike most) increases in value every year.
All paperwork, maintenance, receipts, and warranties available for scrutiny.
If you own and drive this car, you may get a lot of attention, whether you like it or not! People want to talk or take their picture with the car. People constantly give you their business cards and phone number. Are you ready for that? It's a bit like driving around with a movie star in the passenger seat. If you can handle attention, or are perhaps seeking constant attention (unlike me) then this car could be for you. I can be reached at
