2001 BMW 325XI Touring Wagon, 165430 miles This BMW is mechanically very sound, but cosmetically rough. Aside from the rust spots that are starting above the rear wheels and bottom of driver door, it has MAJOR paint scratches. When I say major, I mean disastrously ugly. See pictures. These scratches were made by some anonymous @#@$#% while my wife was parked overnight in North Carolina this summer. The scratches are on the hood, and along both sides of the car. I have the touch up paint for the matching color - included with the car. Good points: Good summer tires on custom rimsAlmost new set of snow tires with stock rims (used 2 months last year)New rear brakes this summerNew rear axles this summerFront suspension/bushings replaced last year.Heater resister replaced ( a common problem w E46)Engine/transmission run perfectlyPower steering/ power windows/ door locksExcellent heaterNYS Inspection good through 01/2014Working Electronic key and spare valet keySunroof - works perfectly, no leaks Bad points: BADLY scratched paint on hood and along both sides of the carRust on rear wheel wellsNeeds two new front brake disks (about $250) To be completely clear - the car is mechanically very sound and has had consistent attention at the same mechanic for the past 4 years. This car would make an excellent winter driver, and I would not hesitate to drive it across country. It went to North Carolina and back this summer with no problems.
