1993 E34 BMW 525I Touring Edition Project With Rare OEM Ski Rack

Description for BMW 5-Series 1993

I am open to reasonable offers but please don't waste your time or mine. I will part this out for much more then my asking price if I do not find any takers as a whole unit at a reasonable price. That said...
Here is an awesome 1993 BMW 525 it touring wagon up for grabs. Was hoping to restore this beast but have too many other projects on the table. That said here is the run down on this machine:
The car runs and drives. Pulls pretty strong. 206,284 miles. Transmission is a little weak when it is cold but is fine after running for a minute or two and feels strong on the road. It has a gas line leak in the rear that will need to be repaired before this car can be driven anywhere far...hence you should bring a trailer. The body is pretty decent for a New England car. It did spend much of its life garaged to my knowledge. Small rust on rear hatch, rockers and here and there. No noticeable serious rust but will need a full going over. Trim side molding is loose in places. The overall paint is worn and shows it's age. The hood is totally oxidized. Started to buff out the one side but gave up...hood will need to be repainted which is fine because there is a little ding on the hood anyway. Interior is dirty and the driver's side seat needs some stitching work. Could clean up much better. Windshield is cracked. Passenger side rear door quarter window is broken out and gone. Rear hatch lock mechanism is loose and needs to be reinstalled. Glove box does not shut. Onboard computer and odometer is typically intermittent but was working the day we shot the photos! Headliner is...gone... Has a nice CD/MP3 deck. Has a nice set of matched OEM BMW BBS wheels with good Michelin Exalto A/S 225/55R16 tires on it. No center caps to be seen for the wheels though. Front air dam is intact with the fog lights in place. Bumpers are good. No keys for ski rack but has all the proper pieces for mounting. Original books.
So in a nutshell, it is a mixed bag of good and bad. The car certainly has potential for restoration or would make an excellent parts car if you are a fan of the E34 Touring wagons. Either way, it is what it is. If no one loves it enough on here to make a reasonable offer, we will haul it away with us and restore it at a future date. Clean title. Can help arrange shipping if needed. AS IS AS SEEN.
