Rear wheel spacers - factory 4wd offsets were too far inward on this model and BMW did not built a model specific wheel so spacers fix the problem and make the car look much better

Condition:

Pictures were taken today.  Car is in great shape inside and out.  No rust or salt issues, apparent door dings.  Non smoker car.  Paint is shiny, has minor swirl marks but still in good shape and kept in wax.  Scuff on front bumper touched up from parking curb.  Scuff in center of rear bumper from garage door hinge scraping the car.

Steering wheel is in perfect shape with no shiny or scuffs.  Rear seats are in great shape.

Engine is quiet, transmission shifts great and suspension has no issues of any kind.  Shocks are built to go the long haul and work perfectly.

Have original books and some documents.  We have 1 key.

Minor creasing / cracking on driver leather near thigh - see picture.  Minor scuffs around ignition from key chain.  Minor scuffs on center shift console.  Trunk grocery holder plastic panels are not 100%.  We never used this after getting the rubber floor mat.

Intermittent issue:

Lift gate power open feature will *sometimes* try to open and drop closed.  It opens fine when you use the button on the lid.  No error codes, just have to retry or lift on gate.

This was our trip car for vacation road trips and utility, but we are not using it as much as we thought and can get by without it.

This car has strong performance with the high output version of BMWs bread and butter engine making 255 horsepower mated to a 6 speed steptronic transmission with sport mode which makes surprisingly capable yet reliable and inexpensive to maintain.
