Owning BMWs seemingly is like a disease. I brought home another today and it honestly was not something I was really looking for. I was driving my E30 to lunch 2 weeks ago and noticed an Alpine White E32. I thought to myself that looks pretty darn good and I had never really even given them a thought before...

Off to Craigslist! I find a local car with higher miles but notice it's a 5sp. It has 2 owners. Stacks of records and from the blurry CL photos it appears to be in very good condition. Owner notes the number of owners and that it has been in the family for 18 years. Must go test drive and see if I can even give it a chance. Condition is as described and it drives awesome. What a great car! Spend a week working a deal, it was honestly overpriced to start, and picked it up today!

Wheels, drop and some minor mods to come. Then just going to enjoy driving it around!

Great purchase! Im very partial to the early 90s Bimmers myself ;) I have a E32 740il. Great machine. Even after 20 years, runs great, but still work needs to be done. Have plenty of mods and parts that I want to get, just need to start saving up!

The automatic ZF transmission in the E32 is probably the heaviest transmission I've ever lifted in my life! I still remember that clearly, it imprinted in my mind forever. That was within the first year I worked on BMW's at a dealership.

They are solid cars though, and you have a manual.....good stuff. Clean example!

Nice car...I like the colour too. I'd love to have one of those in a 5spd, dumped on some simple aftermarket rims.
