Up for sale is my 2001 BMW 530i with approximately 97100 miles. Low miles for a 2001 model. Car runs great and I have owned and maintained it for the last 8+ years. Details of the car:The Bad- Passenger front power seat back/front motor not working. The tilt and up/down still work. Easy replacement if you want get a seat motor from a salvage yard.- Bumpers show wear from years of parking in the city (see pics)- Two small dents on hood. Probably from falling acorns (see pics)- Intermittent Check Engine light. Usually comes on after driving for a long while on the highway at steady higher speeds (70+ mph) but usually then turns off after a few cycles of local driving. This is due to BMW code P0741. Likely culprit is a faulty shift solenoid valve which is a $50 part. This does not affect the car in any way aside from slightly higher RPM's at higher freeway speeds.- Car was hit while parked two weeks ago and front driver fender was caught. Local estimate at body shop (Fender Menders in Astoria, NY) was $540 for full repair and spray (see pics).The Good- Engine and transmission running flawlessly. Car drives the same as it did from day 1.- I have most records for oil changes (using approved BMW oil) and replacement part orders for maintenance over the past years- Great tire tread life left. Staggered setup on OEM BMW M-Par wheels.- Earlier this year I changed front pads/rotors, cooling system and oil filter housing gasket. Spark plugs and O2 sensors were changed about 18 months ago, and all ignition coils have been changed. Also just put in a new windshield wiper motor since it died out of nowhere.- Overall really good shape for a 15 year old car. Phenomenal drive with good looks, ample power and quiet cabin. I purchased this car from my cousin in March of 2008 and have had it ever since.Car is sold AS IS with NO RETURNS and NO WARRANTY. You are buying a used BMW so expect to keep up with maintenance during your ownership (it comes with the package). This car is priced to sell as I am waiting on a new car to get here. I'm just trying to squeeze out a few more bucks than what the dealer offered me. KBB values this at $3750 in FAIR condition. Local pickup ONLY. Cash in hand during pickup or cashiers check or wire transfer from Chase Bank only.
