This auction is for a black BMW 325i sedan. I bought it for ~$28,000 in January 2010 from a BMW dealership. It was Certified Pre-Owned and came with a Warranty and Maintenance Package. Which means I have put this car in the BMW shop a few times for a full check up and 100% repair (hey, I already paid for the service so might as well use it). Even if I felt any slight strangeness in the way it drove I took it in. The service record is stellar as you'll see. The car is fully paid off. It has all the same features as a typical 3-series BMW, but there are some distinct options and additions to this vehicle that make it ultra premium even within its class. Many of these features contribute to really enhancing the experience. The two occasions where I got a base 3-series loaner at the dealership (for regular maintenance), I hated those vehicles. Some of the most basic things like navigation, sports package, HID headlights make such a difference in this vehicle. THIS CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE INTERIOR IS IMPECCABLE. I MEAN, I SERIOUSLY HAVEN'T SEEN A BETTER LOOKING 3-SERIES INTERIOR. AND I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE WHEN YOU SEE IT. THE EXTERIOR IS IN GREAT CONDITION AS WELL AND WITH THE NEW WHEELS I PUT ON, THE CAR JUST LOOK AMAZING. The main features which I believe differentiate this car from a lot of the vehicles you'll see on eBay (which typically don't have any add-on packages) are: Power everything - Power seats with up/down, back/forth, incline/recline buttons all electronic. For both driver and passenger seats. Gas tank lock - When your car is locked, your gas tank is locked. When you unlock all car doors, the gas tank also unlocks and then you can push it to open. This is a super neat and safe feature. Two sets of Premium wheels: You get two sets of 4 wheels with this car. The first is four 18" premium alloy wheels, which are currently on the car as seen in the photo. These retail for about $3,500 and typically come with a 330i or 335i. I replaced my original wheels with these. The other set is the original premium 17" wheels that come ONLY with the sport package. They look much nicer than what you see with the typical base sedan. Built-in Navigation: This vehicle comes with built in navigation. The iPhone/iPod connector (which works for both iPhone 4 and 5) integrates directly into the car's computer system and allows you to control your music directly from the car without having to touch your phone. HID Headlights - basically white lights that look super premium. A lot of cars selling on eBay have the basic yellow lights instead Halo/Angel eyes - this is the BMW trademark headlight which has the halo look. A lot of cars selling on eBay don't have this Moving headlights - when you turn your headlights turn as well to increase your field of vision. This reduces your blind spots while turning at night Adaptive rear view mirror - when you drive at night, the rearview mirror dims itself so that cars behind you do not blind you with their headlights Sports package - this is an amazing feature. You get bucket seats with driver side adjustable width and height (i.e., you can have the seat grip your upper body to give you more control for high speeds). You also get a more premium steering wheel with a much bolder look, and of course the steering wheel is adjustable Premium seats - You get premium dakota brown leather seats. This is super premium. Everyone who steps into my car makes a comment about it. When I bought this car, there were only 3 in the whole country listed on Craigslist and eBay that had this interior color. It is very rare Low miles - This is a 2006 vehicle and the mileage is just at 75,877 miles now. So the car has been much less than 10k miles per year. This is much below the average 12-15k miles. That's why I haven't had many maintenance issues with the car There are four main things to point out about this vehicle in terms of the condition:Overall the condition is excellent. It is well kept and the interior has almost no signs of wearThe vehicle has some dings on the rear bumper from parking in cities. You'll probably have the same problem if you live in a city. This can be easily fixed for cheap but I didn't bother because it would likely happen again the next time I parkedIt has two nicks on the windshield from trucks hauling rocks at drivers on the highway. Luckily for me, they did not penetrate the windshield and have been treated anyway, just as a safety measure. It has been this way for 3 years now in both freezing winters (in Chicago and Boston) and hot summers so this is definitely not something that will be an issue. They have NOT expanded or changed since the day they happened. I have even taken it to an auto specialist to verify that they are not problematic nicks.The front bumper, at the very bottom right side of the car, has been pushed in by some ridiculously high curb/sidewalk. I was making a U-turn and pressed the right side lower bumper onto the curb. It can be fixed also, but I have not been able to get it done because I frankly just didn't have the time to do itOther than the above, the vehicle may have very very small nicks in one or two places that I haven't noticed. Of course, it's a used car. But there is nothing major anywhere else on the car
