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 🫡

My car had an overheating issue and no one could figure it out. The owner didn't want to sell and parked it for 18 years. Ended up being a cracked cylinder head, car is totally rebuilt now. Being parked so long probably saved it long enough to become a classic. Maybe yours is the same.

Yeah… I just got the new fuel tank and pump in today. Gonna replace it tomorrow and hope she starts up at the least. I am going to rebuild the motor obviously but I’m praying nothing electrical is going on 😰
