EDIT: Wheels and ECU are now on Ebay:

The purchase of a 13-year-old E34 M5 means it's time to reinvigorate the maintenance war chest, so uninstalled Volvo parts (with the exception of the QBM endlinks!) must be sold now. I've got:

Four (4) brand new 17x8 Pegasus rims. I bought them new from a dealer in Boston. I also have the new-style silver wheel caps. One wheel and cap have been unpackaged for inspection, the rest are sealed in the original boxes and bags.

One (1) set of Weitec sport springs for Sedan but fit Wagon. I bought them used (around 800 miles on them) from diats. They look perfect except for some minor rubbing. I took a photo of the worst spot - not too bad.

SOLD!

One (1) 1995 850 Turbo ECU (with EGR). I bought this used from Pras, to be used for future tuning. I haven't tried it, but he says it works fine.

I think we all know about what this stuff is worth. I'm accepting reasonable offers from VSers for the next couple of days, then I'll put it all on Ebay. I'd prefer not to ship, but I will if you're nice. People in the NE (including Canada) are welcome to ask me about meeting them somewhere for pickup. I'm pretty flexible with scheduling right now.

I've got 100% positive feedback on Ebay (comproyoung), but feedback from my first and only sale is pending, so I don't know how much that tells you. I've bought stuff from connorb850, t5mmmm, prasamin, diats, and hawks25, and they might be willing to say that I'm easy to work with. I'm a pretty good guy.

Cheers,

Max

Edit: You can't really see them in the photo, but the old-style black wheel caps are included with the Pegs. I'd sell either set of caps seperately if sombody wanted just the caps.

Good luck on the sale(s). Any pics of the car? I want a e30 m3 hard core...i just dont have the money :(

Thanks! I haven't taken delivery yet, but here's the car:

It's the Euro spec 3.8l motor, which wasn't imported into this country by BMW. I'm not aware of another example stateside, but there are probably half a dozen or so over here. Gas prices and sore auto budgets mean that it's actually a great time to buy an old M.

Thanks to everone for the M5 comments. The motor is supposed to be fairly reliable on these, but as you say, all repairs are insanely costly. I'm thinking one big road trip to see far-flung friends and then mostly garaged.

On the springs - UPS ground looks like just under $20.00 to the zip I randomly selected in Atlanta. The box is 29lbs and 27x16x8 if you want to look into other options. I'd let the springs go for what I paid - $130 + shipping = $150 to Georgia.

Cheers,

Max

how much would you want for the wheels?

i dont care not having the center caps, i could just use my old ones.

On the wheels, I paid around $800 - I'm thinking $775 + shipping? I may have a buyer for the silver caps, but as of now (at least) the black caps will be included.

Everything is always OBO!

All PMs replied to, thanks for the interest. As a note, I just found my receipt for the Pegs and the list at Boston Volvo is $294.62 per wheel. They described my price as a "loss leader" price, though it's hard to imagine a dealership taking a loss on anything. Times is rough.

BUMP!
