Year: 1983
Model: 533i e28, 5spd Manual Transmission LSD
Color: Bronzit Beige Metallic/ Black Interior
Mileage: 209,000 on Odo. Estimated to be around 230K
Location: Boston, MA
Price: SOLD
Clean Title

I bought this car from the 3rd owner in the North Shore of MA; originally came from CA. It was his daily driver for over a decade and a solid second car later on. The car is rough around the edges, but outside of the brakes and power steering it could be a solid runner again. I am looking for the next care taker to restore or dismantle the beast. The photobucket album has all the pictures of the car and parts that will be for sale.

Good:
Starts, runs and drives! Solid idle @1000rpm.
No vacuum leaks.
No Major oil leaks.
New oil (5w40) and filter.
New fluids, hoses in good shape.
Newer front brake rotors.
<5000 miles on Bilstein shocks and red springs.
Borbet wheels with Dunlop winter tires


Bad:
Brake Booster issue, brakes not working
Sunroof broken, no seal
No power steering, power steering pulley off
Original exhaust in rough shape
Steering wheel column controls loose
Cooling issue, car will overheat
Paint in rough shape
Interior pieces off, but included
Note: Recaro seat has been replaced w/ brown comfort seat

SOLD AS IS.
Trailer required for transport

Can you throw a couple of bottles of Wire Works Special Reserve Gin in the trunk prior to sale?

I visited Lonnie (J.B.533) last week for some parts, and got the chance to see this car and here it run. It is in a pretty rough condition right now, but this one is an excellent candidate for a restore/motor swap/ build project. Solid chassis and lots of good bits still on car, including momo steering wheel. Lonnie is a very generous guy, and complimentary whiskey was greatly appreciated :thanks: . So Karl, I don't doubt the whole trunk will be loaded with liquor if you can pick this one up!
