1992 BMW 5-Series Additional Info:
Selling a very nice example e34 / 1992 BMW 525i 5 speed manual in Alpine White I’ve owned and enjoyed this car for approximately 5 years and have put a substantial amount of work into it over this time period. Car originated in Napa Valley, CA. I am selling it due to lack of space, as I am now working on restoring an old e23 / 7 series.Desirable 5 speed manualUpgraded sound system149469 milesTasteful upgradesStrong runnerThe good:
- Starts, runs drives and idles very well
- No major oil leaks
- Heat works
- Car has always been garage kept and never driven during the winter
- No major rust issues
- Major backlog of servicing done to this vehicle including everything I've done as well as previous owner dating back to the 90's
- Rear strut bushings recently replaced
- Sunroof works. Opens and closes as it should
- All internal and external lighting is functional except the small map lights by rearview mirror
- Oil changed frequently - either every 3K miles or yearly if not driven 3K miles
- Clean PA title is in hand
The bad:
- AC does not work. Attempted to recharge but the core likely needs to be replaced
- Small scuffs and dings in the paint (see photos)
- Trunk closes fine but is not perfectly aligned with body (see photos)
- Turn signal indicators on instrument cluster do not work
- The seats (especially the front seats) are a little worse for wear. They are still comfortable but are in poor condition (see photos) Heated seat option on front seats do not work (both seats function properly otherwise)
- Some of the external rubber, including the door handles and front window frame are in poor shape. They do not leak but aren't aesthetically perfect.
- Vehicle carpet I would rate in fair condition overall
- Rear passenger window has fallen out of track (motor works and it closes completely but isn't properly functional)
- Window washers do not work properly
- Glove box handle is broken. It closes fine but the handle broke off
- Starter works fine but whines on startup
- Does not smoke but does burn a little oil over time, as it is an older vehicle
- Steering wheel leather is damaged (see photos)
- Some other odds and ends I may be forgetting but nothing major
Upgrades:
- Upgraded aftermarket alpine head unit with JL audio power amp, 6 speaker system and sub ($3000 + upgrade w/ receipts)
- Lowering springs on rear suspension only plus wheel spacers on rear only (gives the car a very nice stance)
- Professional window tinting
- Front stabalizer bar
- Replaced front fog lights
- M parallel wheels. Tires are good with at least 50% life left
