Ground effects kit. Racer Dynamics full exhaust with quad exhaust tips and no cats. Cold Air Intake from Cosmo Racing. Drilled brake rotors on all four corners, painted calipers. M-Spoke parallel 18” staggered wheels with 235/50 and 285/40 tires. Car looks mean and sounds great. Drives great with noticeable improvement to acceleration, stopping and handling. HID headlights with 6000K bulbs. Front tires are new. Inside is clean and well-maintained. Carpets recently steam-cleaned. Wood in great condition. Still smells like a new BMW inside. Tinted windows. A/C blows SUPER COLD. Dual climate controls all work correctly. All electronics working except rear sun shade (probably just needs a switch). Roof liner needs to be re-glued as it is 15 years old. Leather in great condition for a car this age. Car has original CD changer and 12-speaker stereo sounds great. Wired for a phone but original analog phone long since thrown away. Viper aftermarket two-way alarm with motion detector and with two remotes. The alarm can be programmed for other features like remote window-lowering, remote start, etc. Paint is starting to chip in a few places has a few tiny rust spots and dents from life as a daily driver. The ground effects have paint chips and a few small cracks so they should be repainted soon. Like most BMW's, a few pixels on the displays are bad but no problem reading the display. The car shows a "check engine" light because the catalytic converters were removed but this does not affect the engine or driving. All safety features work, traction control/ABS and front and side air bags. This car averages around 18 mpg (and better with just highway driving) The vehicle has a rebuilt title but it was never wrecked: a repair shop owner stole the transmission and cats from a number of cars so this car became a theft/recovery insurance claim. Rebuilt transmission installed and the car has been relatively problem-free since. Recent replacements include control-arms and bushings, sway-bar bushings. Fuel pump and fuel pump relay (common BMW problem), Oil Separator Valve (a common problem with this motor) and radiator overflow tank. Many of the common issues with BMW 7-series cars have already been dealt with. This car is for sale locally so I may end the ad early. Thanks for looking and if there is any other questions please feel free to call me at 502-419-3098. Correction: not a benz s-class but that one's for sale too.
