 I have owned this beautiful eye catching car for 6 years...it has never left me stranded...this car started life in NJ then moved to FL after a few years and never went back,,,I think it had 4 owners before me,,,but I remember for sure that it had no wrecks reported (otherwise I would not have bought it) I think I still have the report somewhere and will post it when it's found. 
Many new parts,,, new "appropriate" battery by that I mean the special one with the correct ratings, and this one is under the hood NOT under the rear seat,,,radiator,,,new muffler put on when I bought the car ( I had a shop do this for about 400 ) upper and lower radiator hoses and mounting clips,,,water pump(metal impeller),,,new fuel pump,,,newer fuel filter,,,newer A/C condenser,,,A/C needs re charged,,,newer bulbs for headlights and on board computer,,,front ceramic brakes,,,k and n filter,,,brand new alternator with lifetime warranty,,,newer ignition coils,,,recent transmission flush,,,all front suspension and steering linkage inner & outer tie rods and center link,,,upper and lower control arms, including aluminum front lower control arms,,,newer rear sway bar links(dog bones),,,newer 5 series rims from I think 2006 with hub centric rings on all 4 with tires at 30% tread remaining,,,newer after market CD am FM radio head unit,,,newer side marker light lens housings,,,,,,newer used driver seat without heat,,,passenger seat has heat,,,...
Some extra parts included in this sale are as follows,,,extra hub centric rings for rims,,,new front kidney chrome for both sides,,,extra 6 ignition coils from last spark plug change,,,a new wheel hub never installed because it wasn't needed (the car had a shake when I got it and I didn't know about the control arms issue's that were causing this, replaced control arms and the shake went away),,,new oil filter and o ring's set,,,a new oil pan gasket still in package (another item I found out I didn't need to replace when I first got the car),,,new intake manifold gasket rings set (another one of those parts I thought I needed).

CLEAN TITLE IN HAND...LOCAL PICKUP ONLY...HOWEVER IF NEEDED I WILL ASSIST IN VEHICLE DELIVERY COMPANY HIRED BY "YOU" THE NEW OWNER....THANKS AND HAPPY BIDDING!!!

Body does have some rust on lower parts of the doors and the usual area's but not at all "rusted out",,,the usual small dings and such but overall the body is in really good shape.
Interior is about a 6 out of 10,,,leather has some cracks on seats,,,door panels are sagging some and the passenger side panel vinyl is completely removed but the skeleton back board is good,,,drivers side is livable,,,rear driver side is best and the rear pass. side is next best,,,see pics...headliner sags a little but doesn't interfere with head or mirrors & I'm 6'2'',,,drivers window needs new clips for the track and the lock fixed.
Motor runs smooth and quiet,,,small oil usage/leak,about 1 quart per month,but this BMW tells you when it's low( it doesnt leak on the ground only "uses" oil when running),,,slight tick at cold start ups,,,it does not affect the performance of the motor,,just sounds funny for a little while,,,but that's normal for this age of car,,,(it's the hydraulic lifters that do this,,,unfortunately it's pretty much an engine overhaul that would fix this) but if that's your intent then this is perfect for you,,,or a 5 speed swap/overhaul???

Transmission shifted perfectly for 6 years, then around 3 months ago I started getting the "Trans Program" message on the dash,,,this happened about 6 months after I first got the car but I was able to use some checklists off the web to diagnose the issue and resolved it myself after a couple days and it has shifted fine for the next 6 years or so...back to now,,,when this message comes on the car locks itself into "limp mode" and only allows use of 3rd gear and reverse...this message appeared maybe twice a week at first then would go away,,,and shift fine in all gears....for a while...then go out again,,,now this happens at every start up.  So I have gone through the web checklist I found years ago and have repeated every check I did before and no change.  Then I did a trans. flush and now I have 2nd gear in addition to 3rd and reverse...better but still get the message on the dash.  So my checklist still has two more things to check...one is a solenoid next to the trans. filter in the trans...and the other is a speed sensor in the tail of the trans...(sensor is on top of rear trans. tail and hard to get to) so I have not checked this...some others have reported success in just the cleaning of this sensor,,others have had to replace it for results...this part is about 60 on ebay..part number 24151219659...or the solenoid is around 50 from a supplier...however a 5 speed swap would solve this issue...and make this car even more FUN to drive on the road or track it and add a roll bar and some nitrous...hehehe...I would love to do all this myself as I have performed all of the above repairs on my own,,,but now my days are much busier with young children etc...I will also include all the information and web site names and such with the new owner to help in any way I can,,,plus all the receipts I have on the car...a complete Haynes manual on cd with full wiring diagrams,,,other schematics and diagnostic pdf. files I have located...and even advice on repairs and parts locating...I still have another one of these that I have nearly completed restoration on but will be keeping it as my daily driver...feel free to ask ANY question that may come up.
