Here you go.

From the listing:
I’m not a great photographer but some of the pictures came out well enough to tell that this vehicle has been cared for. It has less than 130,000 miles and nothing has ever needed to be rebuilt. A couple of years before my father passed away he gave the car to me and said “to take care of it”. It just sits and I never get time to drive it. Before it begins to deteriorate, I think it would be best taken care of by someone who has the time to appreciate it.
It is not perfect and does need some work. Here are the items that I can remember:
There about 6 or 7 small dents from golf balls. My Dad lived on the golf course. You can see the worst of them in the pictures.
There is a small chip in the windshield.
The white paint is coming off of the front emblem.
The lower driving lights need to be replaced.
The computerization of the suspension needs to be replaced.
It has an after market Blaupunkt with Bluetooth and plugs for Ipod, MP3 and a harddrive.
I found the original Blaupunkt bradio in storage just in case you want to put it back in.
During installation of the new radio something happened with the wiring. After a few seconds, the fuse will blow that powers the Tach and the power door locks.
Payment through Paypal. You will need to arrange and pay for shipping.

Kind of a contradiction on this one. On the one hand you've got the complete tool kit which usually says a great deal about the level of attention paid over the years. Conversely, there's that rather yucked-out engine bay (I hate detailed engine bays too). This cosmetic contradiction would probably force me to dig pretty deep before buying.
I'd love to know what anybody finds out. I still get as excited seeing a clean '88 M5 today as I did when I was 15 and they started shipping them over here. Steering wheel and knob are in real nice shape. Though it looks like something exploded under the bonnet at one point. Water hose??
I haven't been on the board for a while. What is something like this worth now? 13-15k?
