What a fantastic opportunity! I just appraised and traded for this BMW a few hours ago and will include better photos on monday. I can also send you a video of the vehicle. Sorry for having these current ones but I wanted to run it for the weekend. A kidney doctor called me this morning and came from downtown chicago came and traded this 5 series in on a certified pre-owned Porsche. We hit it right off partly because I own this very same car that he traded in myself (in titanium silver). This a a great, solid driver that's sweet and runs strong. It's an outstanding value and a lot of the people who previously own them take great care of them. The one that I own is that way and so is this one. The manual transmission shifts surely and smoothly. The interior controls work as they should including the pixels on the dash, the air conditioning, the seats, the radio, etc.... The carpets and seats look great and it's a nonsmoker. Overall the interior ranks an A. The ride and drive is superb with outstanding steering and braking, strong compression and great brakes. Mechanically it also rates a strong A. Cosmetically it's far from perfect and shows scratches, scuffs and such as you might predict in downtown chicago driving for a daily commuter. The paint is shiny and none of the body panels are all that seriously bad. The wheels look sharp but they show scrapes. The exterior is probably about a C or C-. The tires are great and this is an awesome car and a tremendous VALUE. Indeed, it is the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE! Yes, I may sound a little biased. I sold BMW's for a long time, own two of them myself and am the President of BMW Car Club of America in the state of Illinois/Illini Chaper BMWCCA, the largest car club in the country with over 70 thousand members. (Yes,even though I work at a Porsche-Mercedes-Audi-VW dealer). TRUE. I am an advocate for BMW owners. The ride & drive is superb, as you would expect and in Jet Black with Beige Leather seats and those sweet 540 wheels ...... it's simply stunning Plus, it's bonafide CARFAX CLEAN! ******************************************** It only makes good sense to do business with a reputable company that provides professional service.
