This car is a 1999 BMW 528i sedan. First off, it runs poorly. It will make it on a trailer but the starts and runs rough and it WILL overheat given time. When I initially got it, the car would not start. I put new plugs in and it fired up pretty easily. It blew a lot of white smoke from the exhaust so I assume the head gasket has been compromised. After a few people drove it in contemplation of buying it started running worse and worse again. The hoses, thermostat, and fan have been replaced for sure. Other items were also replaced but it still will need an engine repair to be running the way it is supposed to. Transmission functions well. Tires are nearly new, car is Pennsylvania inspected with emissions until 5/16. Body has a few small dings and minor imperfections but pretty clean with nice shiny paint for a 16 year old car. Sunroof, leather power seats, and CD changer in the trunk. I presently have off some of the engine cover pieces and intake as I was considering doing the head gasket myself before I put it on the back burner. Feel free to come down and see it yourself if you are in the area or contact me with any questions.
