1989 BMW 525i Black on Black Runs and drives fine, paint is pretty good, needs a couple trim pieces, glovebox, just little minor stuff (most of which I have). Going to pick it up Monday, so I expect better photos tuesday. Going to slap Scott’s old wheels on it and give it a nice drop 😉 ![http://i18.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/7a/aa/0d51_3.JPG](http://i18.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/7a/aa/0d51_3.JPG) ![http://i15.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/7a/aa/1054_3.JPG](http://i15.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/7a/aa/1054_3.JPG) ![http://i2.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/7a/aa/1249_3.JPG](http://i2.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/7a/aa/1249_3.JPG) ![http://i21.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/7a/aa/1b38_3.JPG](http://i21.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/7a/aa/1b38_3.JPG) Needed a new daily, so it looks like this will be it for awhile 🙂 ---

If all goes well I’ll be looking for an old bimmer soon and I’m turning up much within 100 miles. I was bored and hopped on ebay last night. Didnt really have any intention of buying a car. Found one that needed just a couple mechanical touch ups shot the guy an email with a few questions, he responded half an hour later, and I purchased the car for $1540. Welllll under market value. ---

Looking at Koni sport shocks and vogtland springs as an option. Which seems to be the best one so far. All four of those are pretty curbed, so I’m just going to use them as winter wheels (probably paint them black). The car is located in Hartford, which is convient as I need to take a tranmission up there for the Healey and the 951 one about 60 miles further to Stow MA. So I’m just making a day trip up there to do business. ---
