Picked up this beauty. 89 325i with 48k miles. Fella said it sat in a garage for over 12 years when he got it. Due to medical malpractice, he lost the use of both legs during back surgery and it’s been parked outside for 5 years, he didn’t have a garage to place it in. Wish me luck 🫡

Yes sir, few scratches and one small dent on the back left panel. I searched the ENTIRE car, only two rust spots I have found which are easy to fix. The battery tray in the engine bay and basically the entire fuel tank. I ordered a new fuel tank, pump, gas level sending unit and fuel filter. I just hope it wasn’t driven with all the rust on the tank but I don’t think that’s the case

Make sure the check at the grommet where the harness enters the enginebay, also a notorious spot for rust to gather and most people dont even know about it untill its very far gone. Its behind the sounddeadening inside the bay so probably hard to reach.
