Anyone selling?

[onewhippedpuppy]

I don't want to hear it! You shouldn't have sold, blah blah blah. Anyway, I need money, so I'm selling my Protege5 (the 540's replacement) and looking for a cheap BMW. $3k-ish price range. Must be mechanically excellent, cosmetics aren't as big of a deal, just so it's not obscene. No rust, and must be a stick, condition is a much bigger deal than mileage. Also needs to be in the general region of KS. Consider anything with a back seat big enough to cram a child seat into.

Try BMWCCA members... Roundel mag... and local chapter magazines...

I hope you find one!

Get a touring and convert to stick! Welcome back. There is currently a ton of E34's on ebay, you can sort by distance and see if any are local.

why did u sell to begin with? and why are u going back to bmw? just curious..

I didn't have the money to do what I wanted with the car, and it was too nice to let go to sh!t. I purchased the MP5 as a reliable, practical car, but now in anticipation of my wife quitting work to stay home with our son, I'm trying to come up with some extra cash. As a student, every little bit helps. I just want something cheap to get me around town until I graduate, and I'm not 100% set on a BMW. But, for $3k you can do a lot worse than a higher mileage BMW that's been maintained.

Hi Matt,
My bro' lives in Wichita ( I was also born there) and I live in Springfield Missouri now. I'll keep my eyes peeled for one in that price range. A freind of mine just bought a mega mile RED 525I 5-speed car for about that recently. So I know there are 5's out there like that somewhat often.
Welcome back to the abiss.

I've seen quite a few 525 and 535 5-speeds in the 150-200k range for about that price. Most appear to be in decent shape, finding them in the midwest is the challenge.
