THIS IS A VERY CLEAN 528I.....I GOT THIS CAR FROM A FRIEND OF MIND THAT JUST DECIDED TO GET A NEW CAR,BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER WITH THIS CAR AND TRY TO CHARGE HER ALOT OF MONEY.....NOW SHE WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WOULD NEED ANOTHER MOTOR BECAUSE IT HAD RAN HOT ON HER....BUT I ONLY THINK THEY TOLD HER THAT BECAUSE SHE WAS A FEMALE AND TOLD THEM IF IT WAS GOING TO COST TO MUCH THEY COULD KEEP THE CAR,SO I THINK THEY TRIED TO SUCKER HER....SO WHEN SHE TOLD ME ABOUT THE CAR I WENT TO THE DEALER AND STARTED TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AND FOR SOME REASON THERE STORY HAD CHANGE WITH ME....SO I TOWED THE CAR TO MY HOUSE AND HAD A FRIEND OF MIND WHO IS A ASE MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE HEAD GASKET WAS GOOD AND THE OIL AND WATER WAS NOT MIXING WAS A GOOD SIGN.....AND WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE CLUTCH FAN WAS BAD AND IT CAUSED THE TEMP SENSOR IN THE RADIATOR THAT CUTS THE FAN ON TO GO BAD AS WELL AND IT NEEDS ANOTHER THERMOSTAT HOUSING CAUSE THE BLEEDER SCREW WAS BROKEN OFF,YOU COULD POSSIBLE TAP IT OUT AND RE DRILL IT,BUT THEY ONLY COST 25.00 HERE ON EBAY AND FAN CLUTCH IS ABOUT 40.00-125.00 HERE ON EBAY...ALSO THE DEALER HAD TOOK OFF THE FAN SHROUD AND RETURN JUG AND COULD'NT FIND THEM,SO YOU WILL NEED TO GET THAT TOO....THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES FIND,BUT YOU WILL NEED TO TOW IT HOME BECAUSE OF THE COOLANT PARTS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS CAR RUN RIGHT... I CAN CRANK THIS CAR UP AND DRIVE IT ON A TRAILOR FOR YOU AND YOU CAN HERE IT RUN....THE BATTERY IS DEAD RIGHT NOW BUT I BELIEVE IT HAS ABOUT 165-170,000. MILES ON IT NO MORE MAYBE LESS....NO BODY DAMAGE........THE WINDOWS ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL GO DOWN SMOOTH BUT NEEDS HELP GOING UP...ALL LIGHTS AND SUNROOF WORKS PROPERLY. IT'S MISSING ONE WHEEL CENTER CAP.. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS CAR BUT NEED THE MONEY....THIS CAR ALSO HAS ALOT OF NEW PARTS ON IT STARTER,BATTERY,RADIATOR, ETC....THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS.....I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS CAR TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY....THANKS FOR LOOKING......
