Vehicle Detail

I am the 3rd owner of the car. I bought it from the 2nd owner who has owned and maintained it since 10,000 miles estimated. I have known the owner since he bought it. To mine and his knowledge the car has not been wrecked. It has had some parts repainted from rock and sand blast in the front. The paint is nice on the car for it's age. No clear coat peel or fade. All the accessories work besides the AC that needs charged. I may do this if I get time this week. Heated seats work, rear window shade works, locks work, alarm keyless entry work. The car CARFAX's clean and shows I am the 3rd owner. Somewhere around 30,000 miles the owner had European Racing Technologies install a PowerDyne supercharger on it. It is a low boost quiet charger. You do not hear the blower at all. It would not take much to put the car back to naturally aspirated. It uses the stock intake manifold, etc. The car has a newer clutch, brakes, and knee deep tire tread. It does not use oil or coolant. The Good-* tires, clutch, brakes*Drives nice and smooth*Shifts smooth*Paint looks good for it's age*Dash is mint ( garage kept car)What it needs* a good home that knows BMW's or German cars* AC charged back up*Needs to be tuned at a shop that can lean out the fuel regulator to stop throwing codes.It runs a little rich (better than lean) The Radiator was replaced in 06 and the Supercharger overhauled somewhere around there too. I have only owned the car for 8 months. I have too many cars and need the space in the shop. I will be happy to answer any emails regarding any more details.
