Only 246 US 5 speeds were made in 1988 and 1989. Best color combo and drivetrain combo as well. For shipping I have a friend of mine at Lucky Star Auto Transport in San Jose. CA and maybe able to get a good deal for you. Maintained by family member who is a BMW mechanic. It was maintained meticulously throughout the years everything was fixed always on time.

Paint is ok on the side. Car will need a paint job eventually if you want to have a really nice looking car. Right edge of front fender is damaged from someone hitting the car while parking shown in pictures. Easily fixable when the car is going to be painted. It is right above the clear turnsignal. Also the front right bumper and bumper filler rubber strip cover is cracked shown in pictures from the same hit that is also fixable when being painted. The cost of fixing these is about $200 for the filler and bumper cover. White scratch left rear on bumper cover and quarter panel. No dent. Front spoiler has a crack in the middle. fixable when painted. Clear coat peeling close to the windshield. It is not rusted!Driver side door panel shown on picture has wear. Once this car is painted it will be a truly wonderful classic. Everything else is perfect. There are 2 lights on the control panel. Airbag since I changed the steering wheel so no bags. Rear lights which is to the light switch ($80 item) that we were too lazy to fix. but the lights work all the time fine. Cracked dash. common unless you find a showroom condition car.
