You are looking at my Fiance's 97 Bmw. Car was used to commute about 75 miles a day with no issues. Due to the commute i purchased her a newer civic so save on some fuel and front wheel drive for the snow, we live in the woods. The traction control did impressively well on that Halloween storm though. We bought it last year and have put about 10k miles on it. Couple oil changes, bought new rear tires, bulbs, some misc to keep everything up to par. Also replaced valve cover gaskets, a couple coils, and possibly a radiator when we bought it. Car has some minor cosmetic things that i wanted to point out. Car is being sold with NO RESERVE as i have no need for it and it needs to go. Title is clean, clear, and in my name, and will be signed over once sold. Drive it anywhere. Drivetrain: Starts right up and runs out well. Leaks some power steering fluid here and there, not sure from where. No warning lights on the dash, as you can see from the picture. Will pass state inspection with no issues. I think it had a little vibration and higher speeds, id call it tires and alignment on the front. i replaced the rears and brake pads maybe 8k miles ago. Comes with 2 original bmw keys that i think one has a good battery in it, never let her down and starts everytime ! Interior: Leather is in great shape, power works on all seats. Digital climate has the cold button missing on driver side of unit, cup holders don't retract, plastic under driver seat is loose. Hood pop cable doesn't work from the inside, you need to reach in the grill and pull out the cable and it opens from there. Has hot heat, and cold ac ! Radio works well, as well as cruise control and steering wheel controls and sunroof ! Rear windows were giving me issues going up and down, apparently common on these cars. I bought the kit to fix it, and may get to it, but may not. Will include the parts i have either way if its not done. Motors are good, but the cable wore out a nut that i apparently have to replace. Airbags everywhere, pretty safe cars. Has the rear Ski bag Option as well as the tools in the trunk lid. Pretty loaded up car. Exterior: Lots of light, little scratches on the car that may not be visible in pics, car is dark green. Car is original paint all over. Has a few small dents in driver front fender from where a deer decided to bump into the side of the car. Silly deer, didnt know it was a bmw and he'd be the one with a sore head. Front bumper is torn a bit on passenger side bottom, tractor trailer retread popped off and hit it, losing the foglight in the process, removed the other side so it matches. No visible rust or other major damage that i can see. Bmw logo faded off on hood. Pretty good shape for 200k+ miles, should have another 200k in her with some TLC ! That's about all i can think of with the car, i've done my best to describe it, feel free to come see it in person for yourself. A few things as mentioned, but overall i think it's a good, dependable car. $200 paypal deposit within 24 hours of auctions end, cash on pickup, or bank check / wire transfer if you want it shipped.

Thanks.On Feb-08-12 at 15:59:27 PST, seller added the following information:Just wanted to add that after looking at the autocheck on my listing, i realized that i purchased the car last spring, with about 200k on it. So i have put about 15k on the newer parts and tires. Also noticed that autocheck verifies No Accidents, and there were only two local owners before me. Good Luck !
