Yeah I remember the Frenchman that bought that clean one back in December or so. And then I recall another diving board M5 on ebay somewhere in DE.

Tell me what you guys think about this one, a xi, doesn't specify what model. Are all E30 xi's the same engine/model?

Wifey called it "fun", based upon the pictures.

Thanks for the tidbits. Lord knows we get hammered with snow up here, and this area must be the perfect proving grounds for an AWD car.
Thing is, I also see a 2001 xi sedan for $6500, and a 2002 touring xi for $7000. Seems like you get a lot more car (and doors) for not much more there. But $5k for an E30-anything S14-less with rust, even minimal, seems high to me. Maybe the ix's get a premium, all things considered. If the car was $3k I might buy it up, if it isn't a rust case.
Anyhow, here's a very short WI listing for a "mint" '88 528e for $5k, for you zany E28 heads:

Gorgeous and extremely well cared-for 1988 E28 BMW M5. This car is optioned with heated seats and is in the US spec Black with Natur (tan) leather interior. These cars were hand made by BMW Motorsport and feature the legendary S38 engine. The car features many the popular upgrades of Bilstein HD rear shocks, a modern Blaupunkt radio, and the Turner Motorsports chip. Otherwise, it is stock. I have many pages of documentation on the car and it runs and drives perfectly! Dont miss a chance to own the legendary first M5! The car has 170,000 miles and a clean carfax.

Here's a rare bird for this neck of the woods:
Super eta, looks to be relatively clean, although a little rust seems to be peeking out behind the right side front wheel well.

I just talked to the owner. A "small" leak & It has rust in the floorboards
I was on my way up there until he mentioned a 6"X6" hole in the passenger side floor.
I was all set for a winter project too, but learned the hard way. Where there is visible rot there is hidden rot. And I don't want to deal with any more leaks due to tin worm.
My M5 is out there...somewhere.

"Back up for grabs is my beloved s50 swapped e34 touring with the M5 kit on it. I've owned this car for about 2 years now, but it has been sitting for about a year after I bought my current e30. The car was running before being left in my garage for quite some time, however, after a potential buyer had the car checked out at BMW Bellevue I was informed that either the head gasket was blown or there was a cracked cylinder head. I would love to fix it, but cannot afford to at this time.
While the car was sitting in my parents driveway prior to me moving it into my garage, someone in my family took it for a ride and left the sunroof ever so slightly cracked. It rained for at least a solid week before I noticed the condensation on the windows one day. Needless to say, the interior was ruined and is in awful shape. I am in the process of removing every piece of it. There are a lot of good plastic parts from the interior I can clean up from the mold and what not, but as far as carpet, seats, etc. you wouldn't even want to see them. I've tried using space heaters, bought some of that stuff you find in beef jerky bags and nothing could get the moisture out."

Someone should snap this one up.
I have a good daily driver e28 535i that I am now listing for sale as I bought a house and now have other priorities. The car runs and drives beautifully and is ready for a new owner.
The car originally came from Florida and has only been in New England for a little while. I have the last Florida title and a pile of receipts for past work done. The receipts include a huge amount of high dollar work including a transmission rebuild and complete r134a AC retrofit including a new compressor.
The car comes with a manual transmission swap kit including a Getrag 265 transmission, driveshaft, clutch, flywheel, pedal box, master and slave cylinders, and all hardware and lines.
The spare is a matching e32 Style 1 wheel with a brand new (sticker still attached) Continental tire
A long range remote locking system is installed, connected via the truck switch
I have additionally done a lot of maintenance and repair work while I have owned the car. My log is as follows (a more readable Excel file available by email):

Hmmm. Nice splitter. The driver's seat seems pretty worn for 78k. Nevermind the shift boot and e-brake.

Price is probably good. It has a lot of potential!
