Don't miss out on this one!! NO RESERVE on this 5 speed fun 325i!! I will try to keep this as short and sweet as possible. Exterior is a beautiful 8+ out of 10!! The color is a cool blue/gray and shines very well. Front bumper cover and hood is surprisingly void of typical rock chips and dings...yes it has a few, but considering it's age, it's hard to compare.Vinyl trim is excellent with no fading or dryness or damages. Headlight lenses are superb and clear with no fading or yellowing. No damages or cracks here either. This car looks, runs, feels and drives like a car half it's age! Brand spankin new Michelins up front....about 5 miles on em!! How do I know this?? I installed em!! Rear tires are mismatched but one looks to be a nearly new Firestone and I believe a Hancook on the right rear with plenty of tread left...about 60%. All tires ride on nice clean vibration free rims with minimal damages, soccer mom curb rash, etc. Below you can see the hood and roof shine nicely. No noticeable dents or dings. Note the higher end Halogen lighting which was an upgrade. Super bright at night. All exterior lighting works perfectly. Body is super straight and clean. I'm no bodyman, but I can't see any signs of major repairs or repaints. Rear bumper cover looks fab with only a few remnants of bumper tag in the parking lot. Below you can see the teeny tiny rust bubble...smaller than the tip of my finger. Above...if you stare hard enough....some light scratches on the lower side of the bumper cover. Easily buffed out. Below you can see the "other" small exterior rust spot. Your's truly wire brushed it, rubbed on some naval jelly to destroy the rust, then touched it up with the best matching touchup paint that I could find. Sadly this is a typical rust area on these cars, but for THIS car....minimal compared to others. Such a great looking car!! Amazing that this vehicle once cost $35,000 give or take....and now you can buy it NO RESERVE for a FRACTION of that!! Interior is gorgeous as well!! 8.5 out of 10 all day. Driver's bolster has minimal minimal wear. No damages or cuts or tears altho a few light scuffs exist on the lower cover. Carpet looks great. No damages in the dash or door panels. I HATE SMOKE and can't see or smell any signs of a former smoker. No burns or stains noticeable anywhere. Above and below, you can see ALL the dummy lights illuminate upon startup with NONE staying on during run. When I acquired the car, the secondary air pump code was stored. I cleared the code and it has never returned. Engine light has never came on. ALL power items seem to work as they should: power windows, power locks, sunroof, heated power front seats, digital climate control, displays panels with no dead pixels, ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING, hot heat, cruise, steering wheel radio controls, AM/FM/Tape/CD CHANGER/NAVIGATION, auto rearview dimmer, and somewhere there is a plug-in for a auxiliary input but I can only see the switch(under the ashtray lid) and not the actual input. Some searching should net results. Steering wheel and shifter are barely worn. Yes.....navigation...aka GPS. Factory installed. Gold Plated. Fully functional. Rear seating looks barely used. Below the trunk is nicely nice and clean. Factory floormats are long gone but these Wal-mart cheepies work just fine. Factory tool storage kit is nearly fully intact. Unseen is the full sized spare and tire I had to acquire since the original was MIA. It's still of the BMW variety with a different design. Same size and shape atho it has seen better days. Tire is decent and holds air with the superpower of getting you home in a flash if needed. Who needs factory floormats when you have a 6 disc changer and navigation above?? Above....the rear trim panels look to have the gray cloth covers missing, yet you wouldn't have even noticed had I not told you. Up front the trim panels have the fabric worked loose but not detatched. Some patience and spray glue will fix it no problem. Other than that.....excellent interior throughout!! Not sure what happened to the factory manuals....but I searched high and low. Nothing. How about a receipt for an $1100+ complete clutch replacement a few years back??? Should make your wallet relax and your mind feel at peace at least. Oh...and there are 2 navigation discs included! The one keyless keyfob key works great. Finally....the spotless engine compartment!!! Pick a spot....eat off it. Strong recently replaced battery fires the quiet strong smooth engine right up every time. Clutch operates as it should along with the transmission thru every gear. Oil is clean. Coolant is clean. No overheating. Underneath, aside some age related residue in the form of light oil sweat at the drain plug, I don't see any signs of any major oil or coolant leaks. Upon my wiggles and jiggles inspections, I found tight suspension goodies and recently replaced brakes front and rear with at least 75% pads left. While driving, the suspension is tight and noise free. No pops, rattles, or squeaks. Car drives nice and straight with no unusual pulling or wandering. Brakes function as they should with no grinding or vibrations. Teeny tiny rear pulse crusty noise mostly from sitting undriven in a couple weeks. Easily gone after some miles of leg stretching.
