    Information on the car;
    Car currently has just under 100k miles. I have only owned it for a year. The car has had its oil changed every 3-4k miles with Mobile 1 full synthetic and has also had new NKG premium plugs, coolant flush with BMW coolant, rear differential and transmission fluid changed with Red Line gear oil, and a new oem mass air flow sensor. I only run 93 octane fuel and keep the car meticulously maintained. When I bought the car I installed new speaker, as the oem speakers were old and dry rotted, and a new oem weighted BMW M shift knob. The car is pictured with BBS RX wheels but they are NOT included with the car. The car will be sold with BBS RX ASA replicas, 18x8,9, I will include a picture of the car with them on. They have almost brand new tires on them. They will also come with 18mm hub centric spacers with extended lug bolts. The hardtop easily comes off with 2 screws and 2 locking handles and the soft top can be automatically raised when the hardtop is removed.

    Paint: 9/10
    Interior: 8/10

    There were less then 9,000 of the S52 M Roadsters ever in North America and to find one with a flawless color matched hardtop is near impossible. This car is definitely a head turner and a conversation starter. I usually don't go a day with a compliment. This car is rare, hard to find, one of a kind, and is a blast to drive!

    The bad: The engine locked up on me the other day but it still starts and runs. The car is definitely worth the time to be fixed. It is one of a kind and is in great condition. I, on the other hand, do not have the time or money to make repairs myself. With this being said, the car is sold as is and will need to be towed. It can and will start so you can see what you are working with.

    Price is $9,000 OBO I need the car gone asap so any offer will be taken into consideration.

      From what I understand, its fine cold starting, but you wouldn't want to keep it running long. GLWS man.

        thanks for help there.

        It is my friends car.
        From what he tells me...
        He was on the highway and the oil light came on and once he was under 3k the car shutoff.

        It starts and idles. He hasnt done any more troubleshooting on it, he took it too a local shop and they think it may be a spun bearing.

        I can get more info if you wish thanks, just trying to get it sold for him.

          Sounds like the classic S52 oil pump nut failure. Nut backed off, motor went dry and spun a bearing. Going to need a new motor.

          How is the rear subframe?
