My buddy and I 50/50 bought a 1991 BMW 525i tonight! we gave it a clean, drove it around, and learned the intricacies of what a busted wheel bearing sounds like. Not bad for $555 overall!

What’s the plan with it?

If it only cost $555 Why bother trying to split it? I can’t see this not becoming problematic down the line.

Congrats and good luck nonetheless though.

because we're cheap and $270 or so each was better than $555

Multiple updates please.

I went this route with a 67 Cadillac once.

Once..

Ah, a flip makes much more sense. I thought you guys were going to try to fix it up and share it, which could only end badly.

HAHAHAH yeah no way! we're not dumbasses. we agreed, if someone offers $1200, it's gone

Is it suffering from twisted front seats problem? I have a ‘91 E34 and it has this problem.

Good! They are annoying to fix. I wish mine didn’t had those stupid electric adjustments that make the seat weigh more than I do.

That's gonna leave a mark! > PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power 04/04/2016 at 07:14

Great find. Glad I didn’t find it because then I would have to explain to the wife why we needed another car.
