picked up a LeMans blue from auction..
2 owner, no accidents. local NW vehicle. 39 service records, mostly from BMW Seattle. unknown running condition. carfax says it was stolen 11/2021, insurance paid out, recovered 12/2021. from the pics the exterior looked decent, and sport cloth interior had it towed today to my place. just took a quick look around before i went to work. interior is trashed. battery is dead. 2/4 doors wont open. exterior looks decent, no major flaws. aftermarket double din, amp missing in the back. the good news: engine has oil, looks clean. weird news: found some interesting items inside from "previous owner" (crack head starter kit). interior needs a deep clean. battery is on a charger. if it runs, going to restore it. if it ends up being a dumpster fire going to part it out. let me know what you guys think

For $2k... that's a win whatever you end up doing with it. Assuming you have the time/space to part it of course. That interior needs some serious disinfecting though judging by the possessions left by the last inhabitants.
I'm hoping it savable, but that's because I'm a masochist for derelict BMWs. Like a woman that has to take in every stray dog and cat they find... That's me, but with Bimmers.

you might get more than you expect
Looks like a good project (I like blue), but since it was in the possession of unknown types, might I suggest fumigating the interior; you might be receiving more than you want while working on it.
I've used Raid or HotShot fogger/fumigators to kill vermin infesting project cars (or even co-workers' cars, when I'd work on them), if they were especially dirty, smelly, visibly infested, or came from a bad part of town. HaHa, the last one is a funny; any part of any town can be bad, these days. Of course, leather, plastic and glass need covering beforehand, to save clean-up, but carpet, the headliner, & cloth interiors just get de-loused. No clean-up afterwards. I may be the only one that has done this, but it worked for me, killing ants, roaches, presumably lice & bedbugs, too. Nowadays, Covid-carrying-cooties may be eliminated. Seriously, good luck on your project!
