for your interest is a 2006 BMW 330 CI Convertible
The crisply rendered sheetmetal on the coupe/convertible -- and fully-padded power top on the latter -- displays athletic flair couched in more conventional BMW styling language, from the heritage twin kidney grilles to Adaptive Brake Lights with high-intensity LEDs. That subtle-but-solid visual character is epitomized in the M3, with its bolder bodywork and unique front/rear fascia treatments. Where 325Ci models wear 205/55 tires on 16-inch alloy wheels and the 330Ci gets 205/50 rubber on 17-inch rims, M3s have 225/45 front and 255/40 rear boots on lightweight 18-inch wheels.
Modestly scaled but nicely finished, the cabins on these two-doors share a common basic design with lots of soft-touch surfaces, leatherette or real leather trim, and wood or brushed aluminum accents. True to BMW form, positives abound and negatives persist. On the upside, gauges are legible, controls well-positioned for the most part, and power assists plentiful, including a one-button top mechanism on convertibles and one-touch moonroof activation on the coupes. Things like a tilt/telescoping steering column; comfortable, supportive seats bucket seats; automatic climate control; keyless remote; and cruise control add even more functional charm. Conversely, BMW has yet to get its sums right on ancillaries like genuinely usable storage space and -- now here's a surprise -- cupholders.Depending on body style, the aft accommodations have two distinct characters. The convertible truly does live down to its mini-compact EPA rating, with a belted-for-two bucketed bench that even small adults will find compromising. With 1.2 inches more legroom, a 6.8-inch broader shoulder span, and a more welcoming seatback rake, the coupe's bench actually can carry a pair of near six footers. However, three-across occupancy has limited appeal, even for kids.
Standard
Equipment
Three degrees of I-6 motivation exist for this group, each a twin-cam unit fitted with BMW's Double Vanos variable valve timing to bump responsiveness and efficiency. The 2.5-liter in the 325i/Ci makes 184 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque, the 330i/Ci has a 3.0-liter that develops 225 hp and 214 lb-ft of torque, and the stellar 3.2-liter M-spec engine turns out a searing 333 ponies and 262 lb-ft of twist. Three transmission types are available: a standard manual -- with five speeds in the 325i/Ci and a six in the 330i/Ci; a five-speed Steptronic manumatic that's optional in both; and for the M3, a choice of a six-speed manual or clutchless, programmable six-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox. BMW's driver-selectable Dynamic Stability Control with traction is standard in all.
All of these 3 Series two-doors are designed to be driven, and to be done so with gusto. Considered by the auto industry as a performance benchmark, standard 3 Series chassis tuning has an engaging and communicative character that matches balance and responsiveness with comfort and control -- with or without DSC oversight. Those seeking a slightly sharper edge will find it in the more tautly executed Sport Package, while well-heeled enthusiasts can step up to the legendary M3, or defining M3 Competition Package that also includes more "lenient" DSC mapping.Convertible models don't quite equal the absolute rigidity of the coupes, but cowl shake is minimal even on rough roads, while squeaks, creaks, and leaks are simply nonexistent. Save for about a 350-lb weight penalty, their biggest downside is a wide C-pillar that materially impacts rear sightlines with the top up.

Prior
damage
Regarding the history of this car We bought it from an
Insurance Company. Pictures of the actual damage are posted below. please allow Ebay to load all the pictures, there about 90 pics posted. All repairs
were done by a professional auto body specialized in BMW and Mercedes. We
personally test drive all of out cars for at least 500 miles to make sure
everything is in working condition and that we will deliver a vehicle that is
road ready and in need of nothing.
This BMW
comes with a California salvage certificate. All safety inspection have been
passed and it now ready to be registered.
For
buyers out side California
Please note that We can also obtain a rebuilt title for this vehicle upon
buyer's request. Registration process for a vehicle with a rebuilt title is
identical to the one with a clean title. Nothing extra is required to register
a vehicle with a rebuilt title . NO inspections are required with a rebuilt
title. Cost for getting a rebuilt title is $200. This process will take up to 14
days and will be started only after full payment has been made
WHAT DOES REBUILT OR SALVAGE TITLE MEANS
Many people are
not familiar with the Salvage or Rebuilt title, below is a brief explanation of
the "Salvage verses Rebuilt Title" terminology:
Salvage
title basically means that the insurance company decided not to fix the car and
paid off the owner. By declaring a car "Total Loss”, Insurance Company is taking
themselves out of any liability issues in the future. Does that means the car is
totaled, not always.
Sometimes
the car has minor damage but the parts are very expensive. Sometimes the owner
does not want to get the vehicle repaired and depending on the Insurance Company
and the year of the car, Insurance will pay off the owner.
If the car
gets stolen then Insurance has thirty days to recover the vehicle, if the car is
not recovered in thirty days, Insurance pays off the owner and once the car is
recovered, it is brought to the auction as a Total Loss vehicle even if it did
not have any damage on it.
Now for Rebuilt title, once the
repairs are completed, car is inspected by state for all repairs and a Rebuilt
Title is issued, which means that the new owner will not have to get any
inspection done to get the car back on the road.
With
rebuilt title, buyer can simply walk into the DMV and get the car registered
without any repair documents or inspection work.
