I am selling off my daily driver which is a e36 BMW from 1992. It has the m42 engine in it. It has butt warmers, nice BMW (aluminum?) rims, Blaupunkt cd player with usb/bluetooth/aux input, trunk toolkit (1 or 2 pieces missing I think), and a sun roof. I think that covers it for the luxury options. I am also including the BMW computer diagnostic tool which resets the maintenance ticker, the Bentley BMW repair manual ($80 manual), BMW touch up paint, , and a fan clutch wrench. The car has pep for being a 4-cylinder. It also handles the road very well. BMW cars are well known for their handling. They're just great driving machines. Also, you'd think that it would be difficult to work on, but it's the opposite. This BMW is very easy to work on and doesn't require hardly any special tools. I've done regular maintenance with synthetic blend 10-40w motor oil. Change the plugs every other year it seems like. Replaced the air filter when I got the car. Only major replacements I've had to do are the water pump (2yrs ago) and power steering pump (4 months ago). As for the problems to the best of my knowledge for this car. It has very minor small dings from hail damage, the AC compressor (air conditioner, $100 part) doesn't work, the throttle has been fluctuating quite a bit when at idle (kicks on the "check engine light"), I think the shock or something needs replaced in the front right, the head lining has came undone a little bit towards the rear, some interior wear, a bit of rust on the bottom rocker panels, and a very unnoticeable crack at the bottom of the wind shield. Also, as you can see in one of the pictures, the panel is off near the sun roof, but the sun roof still operates and I still have the panel in the passenger seat. Just a few of the plastic clips broke, so you just need to figure out a way to keep the panel attached. Put a few hundred in repairs into this car, and you'd have a great driver. This car makes driving fun. Everyone thats ever drove my car has fallen in love with it. If you want, you can even come out and check out the car for yourself.

I'm thinking those 2 tires should hold out for quite awhile longer though. The spare, I think it has full tread.

When it's light out tomorrow, I will make a video tour of the car. Traveling hundreds of miles for a car you've never test drove or anything, I think I owe it to you all to be as thorough as possible.
