Very clean BMW 2006 530i.  This is a very attractive black on tan leather interior color combo, that is very popular.

This was a BMW CPO car (we are are the second owners) that included maintenance and repairs to 100k miles.  It has been very well maintained.  The positives:

• Four brand new tires (<1k miles on them), tread on all 4 is similar to what is shown (as in, brand new).
• New front brakes (<2k miles on them) with about 30-40k miles left on them.  Rear brakes were replaced about 10k miles ago, and still have 20-30k miles on them. 
• Slightly tinted windows, as seen in the pictures.
• If you don't know these cars, DO NOT buy one approaching or over 100,000k miles that has NOT had the cooling system completely replaced.  This is a common failure that can strand you.  At about 90k miles, the electronic water pump was replaced under CPO warranty on this car.  At about 105k miles, I learned of this as a common issue (because my X5, with the same engine, had an issue), so I replaced everything else - all belts, hoses, electric cooling fan, and the coolant reservoir tank (which can leak and cause problems).  None of these items had failed, but I know this as a common issue, so I proactively replaced it all. 
• It is in great shape under the hood.  With free maintenance to 100k, all services, maintenance, and everything else was done.  For the last 18k miles, I have done it all myself, including the above items and oil changes.
• The car has a Sirius XM unit installed in the trunk, but I never activated it through the Host bus system (requires a dealer or indy repair shop programming).  My wife was never interested in it, so I never activated it.  I bought the unit, installed it, and then never did anything with it.  It's there, if you are interested in activating it, but it has not been programmed.
• All functions work properly.  This car drives smoothly, shifts well, and looks great.  The Steptronic transmission is a lot of fun to drive in manual mode, and works flawlessly.  It's great for a little extra power to pass or on hills. 
• The handsfree Bluetooth calling feature is great - I use that frequently.
• Leather seating is in very good shape - no worn spots or tears.  Weird greenish color in the front seat picture was the way the sun was coming through the windshield.
• Gas mileage on this car is really good - mid-20's in the City, and 30+ on the highway.
• I am into pro-active maintenance, and do most work myself on my 3 BMW's, and the 3 I've had before the current ones.  I am usually a step ahead, and this car is no exception.

I didn't put much effort into cleaning it for the photos - it is just clean and well maintained.  It is a terrific daily driver.  The way you see it in the pictures is the way it always looks - I didn't even wash it prior to taking the pictures.

I have bought and sold cars before on eBay, so bid with confidence.  Please check our feedback.

Pre-sale inspections can be arranged if you're local.  Reserve price is reasonable, and is set below Kelly Blue Book value.

The negatives:

• there is a small door ding in the driver's side rear door, as pictured.  Very hard to see in the picture, I know, but it's not too noticeable in real life either.
• there is a small rock chip from freeway driving on the windshield, as shown.  I can have the windshield repaired or replaced by my insurance company prior to you picking up the car.  Some folks are freaky after windshield replacements (though this is small, and may only be a quick repair), so I thought I would disclose it, and give you the option. We will decide how you want that handled after auction end.

Any questions at all, please ask.

As you can see from my history and feedback, I've been on eBay a long time, with an established track record.  I have also bought and sold cars here before (2 Jaguars), so please feel confident.  If you have any questions, please ask, and I'll get right back to you.

I strive for 5-star service.  You won't be disappointed with this car.  Thanks for looking!

Final note:  actual miles may vary, as I may drive this car on occasion for local errands prior to auction end.
