Excellent condition, low mileage, three owner, well maintained example of this premier luxury sport cruiser. Stored in climate controlled garage and never driven in rain or snow in the 5 years I've owned it. The car is rust free, always professionally serviced and just had a recent suspension tune-up and new spark plugs installed less than 500 miles ago. Ice cold refreshed ac, factory radio with cd player in trunk and complete original tool kit in lid also. The original factory phone is disconnected but included with sale. Everything works except the alarm has been turned off by the prior owner to alleviate battery drain (a common problem with this model BMW) and key fob buttons don't work, not sure why. Possibly due to the disabling of the alarm before I owned it. I never investigated repairing or replacing the fobs or re-enabling the alarm. The car locks securely simply enough by using the key or interior power lock buttons. The car has a built in battery tender that is used regularly, especially when parked for prolonged periods, which has been every winter since I've owned it. Interior is pretty much perfect with headliner only starting to give in a few spots (another typical problem with the 8-series given their age.) Trunk and engine compartment are clean and almost new looking. Rims, tires and brakes in good shape too. Paint is excellent for its age but does have a few minor, touched-up chips, scratches and blemishes from over 20 years of use. None are really visible from 10 feet away and there is no body work, dents or rust. This BMW has been well cared for and maintained its entire life, as its overall condition will attest. Additional pictures available on request and questions will be answered promptly. Local pick up is available but any and all shipping arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer. Vehicle must be paid for, in full, by cleared certified or personal check before car will be released or loaded for transport. Please feel free to inspect the car by contacting me thru eBay. A visit to a local mechanic may be considered. Otherwise, the buyer or your agent can give it a thorough going over at its current location in Huntington LI, in NY. I have used the inspection services offered thru eBay in the past and found them to be very competent and reasonably priced considering how thorough they were. 9/30/16 - Additional, clearer photos of the interior were added in response to questions and to show the extent of headliner droop which is minimal and will most likely last for many years before it needs to be addressed. The armrest in the photos is retrofitted from a 740 because the 8-series had a raised phone in the center console which is outdated/obsolete/removed but included with the sale. The car needed something to rest your arm on and this was added to closely match the plush leather interior without any mounting holes or hardware.
