I am selling this vehicle for my friend Shaun who has owned the car for a year. He is selling because of purchasing a new vehicle. You can contact him on 1 (714) 805-2923 with any questions or to arrange to view the vehicle before the auction ends.
The body is in very good condition. It has tinted windows, 19 inch Hartge wheels with good tires. Tinted windows. Tinted head lamps and tail lights.
Mechanically it is very reliable and has been well maintained. The owner Shaun is a mechanic by trade. The engine starts and runs without fault. The transmission shifts perfectly through all gears. The brakes are all good and it stops nice and straight with no brake shudder. The exhaust system is in good condition. It his daily driver that he uses to take his 4 year old daughter to pre school so the mileage will increase by a few hundred before the auction ends. It drives down the road very smooth and tight. There are a few minor faults. The airbag light is on due to the clock spring behind the steering wheel. Cheaply fixed. The check engine light is also on due to the intake air temp sensor which is also a cheap repair.
The interior is in very nice condition with white and black leather. There is no wear or rips on the leather seats. The rear cup holders are broken like on most of these 5 series. All the electrics work fine except the sunroof and passengers front window regulator is a little bit dodgy when lowering the window.
Overall this BMW is in very good condition for its age and would make someone a very good looking reliable car. It is very good on gas and the tags don't expire until January 2014.
This BMW is being sold with No Reserve to the highest bidder. A $500 deposit must be paid via Paypal within 12 hours of the the auction ending and the balance must be paid in full within 7 days of the auction ending. Car must be collected within 7 days of auction ending. If you cannot comply with this then please do not bid.

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer pulls its way onto the stage
Wed, 05 Mar 2014We know what you might be thinking: here comes another BMW with yet another kind of roofline. Only this isn't just another BMW. It's the first front-drive BMW, and the first time we've ever seen it in person.
That model, of course, is the new 2 Series Active Tourer, debuting here in Geneva as the production version of the Concept Active Tourer and the beefier Concept Active Tourer Outdoor that followed. It shares about as much with the 2 Series Coupe as a jelly donut, but takes BMW into a new market segment - that of the high-roofed hatchback (or micro-minivan, depending on your perspective) occupied by the likes of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class and Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan.
Power comes from a choice of 1.5-liter turbo three, 2.0-liter turbo four or 2.0-liter turbodiesel - but aside from the forced-induction engines what they all the versions have in common is what makes the 2 Series Active Tourer newsworthy: they all sit up front, driving the front wheels. It's an idea BMW purists might not appreciate, but one we'd all better get used to just the same.
Police smash sinking BMW window with rock to save woman trapped inside
Thu, Feb 19 2015Two quick-thinking police officers in New Zealand saved a woman's life after her BMW somehow ended up in the the ocean on Tuesday afternoon. Witnesses told Stuff.co.nz the woman drove off of a rock wall surrounding a parking lot at Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand, and into the ocean. Her BMW immediately began filling with sea water. Bystanders called police and made their own attempts to save the woman. Officers Paul Watts and Simon Russell also tried to open her car doors and smash the windows with a baton. Their failed efforts wasted precious time. The woman soon had to crawl toward the back window, the last part of her car not completely submerged in water. Officer Watts smashed the window with a rock and they were finally able to pull her to safety. Watts told The New Zealand Herald the woman was moments away from drowning. Seconds after extracting her the car sank completely into the ocean. "It was pretty close, probably 30 or 40 seconds after we managed to get the female out of the car, the car was already slipping further into the water," Watts told the Herald. Police are still investigating what caused the accident. The woman was in shock and suffered cuts and bruises. She is in stable condition at a local hospital.
