$550 Legal tint Oct 2025
New clutch and drive shaft bearings Sep 2025
Full Bilstein suspension setup all round
$6,200 Colour coded bumpers all round and whilst doing that, I had the whole front end, bonnet etc sprayed too.
$6,500 engine work etc Additional receipts also available as are receipts for all of the above.
I have only described items done in the last two years or so.
Everything on this car has been fixed. You won't have any of the usual e34 electrical issues. Work done by DeutscheTek.
$1,950 brand new clutch and machined dual mass fly wheel. Front tail shaft donut etc Sept 2025.
The car is in pristine condition, owned and enjoyed by mature male. One of various cars in wider collection
No knocks, rattles, niggles etc, just pure clean driving.
Original rear window shade screen
I also have a spare set of original 17 inch naked Throwing Star wheels with tyres which can be purchased for an additional $1,500 which would have to be the cheapest throwing stars you can buy, if you can actually find them. Don't confuse yourself with USD prices online.
This is a genuine sale of a genuinely great car.
Car is and has always been on club reg. Priced well and truly below replacement cost.
If you would like to negotiate, please come and see the car, then negotiate. If you're an interstate buyer, please feel free to call or ask for videos or have the car inspected. I will do my best to assist.
If you add up all of the above, you're basically paying less than the money spent, remembering there are more receipts not mentioned above, and getting the car for free.
My preference is not to waste anyone's time so please show the same courtesy.
Pick up Moonee Ponds, Melbourne. Car is garaged and under Autotecnica cover at all times.
Can assist with interstate buyers.
