1987 BMW 5-Series Description

I purchased this car early this year from the fourth owner who is a doctor in New York. The second owner of this vehicle was a BMW master mechanic who basically did most of the modifications and repairs on this car about 7 years /36k miles ago. The third owner was a BMW collector in Florida who has many older vintage bmws so he sold this one. The chassis and body have somewhere around 200k miles on it from what the carfax shows me, but there has been a lot of work done to the car before I purchased it, and they follow here:
Engine:
Rebuilt 36k miles/ 8-9 years ago by 2nd owner who was the bmw master tech, I have most the parts purchased receipts for this
Complete head rework with aftermarket valve springs, valve retainers, and schrick cams
New piston rings, rod and crank bearings, head gasket, engine seals, alternator
Converted to MAF with miller motorsports maf and WAR chip
Exhaust:
Full Supersprint exhaust and headers
Additional Parts:
clutch and flywheel
fan clutch and radiator
driveshaft
fuel pump and regulator
slave and master cylinder
Front End:
upper and lower control arms
sway and steering bar links
Suspension
H&R Springs with Bilstein damper
Body:
Diamond black metallic paint job about 9 years (Car was Sapphire blue metallic originally I think)
New door and trunk rubber seals
European Front valance
European Spec front and rear bumper
Euro headlights and fog lights
E28 M5 shadowline door trim
Interior:
Euro M5 leather dashboard (I think its started to crack under the leather)
Reupholstered leather front power sport and back seats
New alcantra headliner
M dash cluster
M metal pedal box and shift knob
Kenwood headunit with bluetooth and new front speakers
New front driver window motor
Now the cons that the local BMW shop informed me of:
Some rust on the shocks and front thrust arms of the car,
power steering hoses and filters will need to be changed in the near future
Diff gasket, Oil pan and filter gasket will be need replacement in the near future (gasket is saturating a little, not dripping yet).
Will need new tires (current tires are bald and dry rotting),
New A/C switch and A/C recharge, blows cool air not cold, and witch only stays on sometimes
Interior trim under steering wheel is drooping
Missing clips to hold in trunk liner
Finally passenger window is not working
I did many reliability repairs when I purchased the car because I originally planned to daily drive it. I had the following replaced early this year and only drove a few hundred miles since:
battery
spark plugs
new distributor cap and rotor
new water pump, new belts and new hoses
new coolant temperature sensor
new shift link seal
new valve cover gasket and valve adjustment
Changed almost all the lights and put in new seals
Installed a refurbished computer board for the dash.
Finally got a new tune from Markert Motorwerks for the WAR chip.
All the work I got done was done by Market which is a local BMW specialist shop. I have all the paperwork for this recent work and some for work done by the previous owners. Car currently has about 38K miles and about 9 years on most the rebuild.
I am selling because plans changed, I need to drive further and more for work and school now. So I purchased a newer automatic car to daily drive, and I do not wish to insure and drive 2 cars so I am selling this one. The car mechanically runs and drives great now, except for the bads but everything else should last a long time. The interior id say is a 7-8/10 condition for a 25yr old car due to the some of the buttons having wear, carpets have wear. Exterior Id say is 6/10. Looks great from 5-10feet away but upon closer inspection there are some small scratches, dents and micro scratches. Probably could be a 7-8/10 with a good polish job. Please let me know if you are interested or have any more questions or if you would like more photos because I have many more.
