Is this person saying he has a BMW that starts, will not idle correctly, the transmission has been removed and sold, and it is taking up room in his shop?

that's how it reads to me.
Thats also what I understood.
I think it was also way too early or late for him when he wrote the ad

Want it gone bad! How's your sister look?
where's the grammar department when you need it? 
I think he's saying the car needs to go to a new owner. I say that because the "b" is next to the "n" on a normal keyboard and this fellow doesn't seem to be highly detail oriented.
It's the standard craigslist ad for car where the current owner writes "needs to get sold" or "needs to go", like the car has a list of current requirements. What he's actually saying is "I've made a lot of curious decisions in life and right now some additional money in my bank account seems like a solution to current issues I'm facing".
Perhaps the 5 speed has been "solid"
If you do feel like lowballing him, may want to make sure you're not buying someone else's stolen property. A $1400 E46 with large parts missing that was previously heavily modified seems sketchy to me.
Well he just texted me back, says it's complete. Has a gearbox in it. Says the price is a typo, now $1600
Just don't buy a car from Hennessy Honda. Buy the BMW and get a trans (with plug installed tightly) and enjoy!
Edit: has a trans, just check the fill plug before you drive it!
Told 'ya.
Seems extremely sketchy though.
Our text conversation didn't go as smoothly as I thought it would with an ill running BMW. He took offense to an offer of $1000.
Guess he can have fun trying to diagnose his problem
Reads like a 5-speed car, and either it's "being" sold, or it's "been" sold. If it's "been" sold, beware that you might be buying someone elses car.
Translation from English (that's a stretch) to Korean to Japanese back to bad English using Google Translate:
Seller said: I started a rough 5 speen actual 2000 BMW 328ci for sale, but you can grab a TXT what LMK be traded and (469) 685-7335 u is to.offer if to cause the selling interest of idle taking the beed room in my store before the cash that can be
I think this makes more sense
