Or am I about to be the first?

I am 85% sure I am buying my friends !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in a few weeks as a new daily driver since my Marauder is locked away in PA for the winter.

Has anyone in the history of jaloppo bought a car featured on NPOCP?

My friend is rebuilding the steering since the pitman arm snapped, its getting all new tie rods. Its also getting brand new bilstein sport struts put on, and one of the used tires was replaced with a new one. All of the brake calipers and soft lines are new, pads are new, trans was rebuilt, rear end was rebuilt, the previous owners had a 3 angle valve job + decking done on the head with a new head gasket, and a new turbo was put on.

This thing should be ready to rock (I hope)

More to come as things develop...

One of the FP commenters bought a Merkur with a V8 that was found on ncocp.

How much for the Marauder?

I ALMOST bought this thing when it was up for sale last year. Looked pretty good. I know someone that has 2 of them, one with almost no miles, and one that he used to autocross in painted flat black with a ton of miles. Good luck man!

That resulted in 250-bhp and the odd 745 name that unlike other models didn’t denote engine displacement. Instead, the 45 part of the name was supposed to indicate that the original 3.2-litre engine was now 1.4 times more powerful, made possible by the KKK turbo.

German Car...KKK Turbo...

Buy it, then get it repainted in white power metallic. Why? because race car!

I'd like to bring it to C&C New Caanan when I get it cleaned up, someone had a very clean 733i tucked away last time.

I think I saw that one hiding out. My friend is from upstate in CT actually, but his clean one is gold

not for sale, ever!

I'm retiring it from DD duty, it rolled 90,000 miles this year so I want to slow the pace down a bit.

You just missed my friends 03 with 59,000 miles that he sold for 12,500 this morning

they are getting so rare to see anywhere. 126 benzes all over the place. Nice 23's, almost never see. There was a 5 speed 733i up in Maine a year ago, half clean, half a rat. Was just too much money for what it was

I have seen 5 e23's in person in my life.

The first was a 87 L7 I found in a local JY back in 2011, I had no idea what this or any of these were at the time, besides an old BMW. Now I wish they still had this car, it went away a short while after I saw it

Kinja'd!!!

The second was the 745

The third was that 733i in CT

The fourth was a silver 733i I saw in Astoria, Queens about a month ago

and the fifth, which I saw a week after, was a 733i driving down the road about 5min from my house

a v8 xr4ti sounds interesting but I think I would have at least done a EFI 302

those cars are really neat though

love the L6/7's that looks like a low spec one though, no suede at least. Yeah I loved em, was the car of choice for teenagers in CT in the 90's as a first car

I ALMOST bought a Willy's Jeep for $500. But, alas, it sold an hour before I showed up with cash in hand.

The L7's had suede? I've only ever seen them with leather

505Turbeaux > offroadkarter
12/20/2013 at 15:36

I think you could get buffalo leather too. But I know for a fact you could get it with suede dash and headliner, just like the M6's

offroadkarter > 505Turbeaux
12/20/2013 at 15:38

Wow I've only ever seen leather ones. If I ever found a clean L7 interior I'd be tempted to get the leather dash. I want to repaint the car to black and I think a white interior overall would contrast good, the problem is the L7 seats look so cheap compared to the 745 buffalo seats. They almost look like vinyl reskins with that stitching design bmw chose.
