BMW sells brand new parts for this car..... Seriously I have been building one.you can get eom metals for cheap. Neat swap options from e30 suspension to e36 suspension. S50 motors and all sorts of nifty fender flairs. I love me a 2k2 but you are in Ohio so have fun with rust in all the normal places. Just an FYI $1,500 is an average deal, if you like the car then do it but it's not a steal at that price. Cheers!
