That's a screaming deal! It's a stick too.

Think they would be annoyed if you fixed in the driveway. Bring a friend some ramps and a jack. Bet I could have that running in under an hour if it really I just the master of slave.

No E36 M3! I just did clutch master and slave on the daily-driver E12. I think I could do it right the first time if I had to do it again, LOL. Those look like Style 5 rims, which by themselves are worth the asking price. Too bad for me this isn't in the Detroit area.

I've been chatting with seller. One of the rear doors is not working well (secured shut now) and has roof damage from tree falling. I may go see it tomorrow. He also has a Infiniti g20 for cheap, but also pretty rough.

How nice of him to not mention that in the ad

Picked this car up last night. Fresh battery and it started right up. Some rattles from exhaust system. Sunroof is glued shut. Wheels are what sold me on the car, I will probably disassemble them, polish the barrels, and paint the centers. Does appear to just be clutch slave issue, as starting the car in gear, it drives without issue.

This makes two BMWs in two years that Woody posted that I end up buying. Granted I did spot this one before Woody posted it. :-) Maybe next year, it will be a cheap M coupe (that Woody doesn't buy himself...) ;-)

I was going to say, you don't need the clutch to just drive it away...

I'd let it idle for a while to warm up the oil first.

Glad I could help. Wheels777 bought a Corvair that I posted a few months ago too.
