***LOW RESERVE*** Don't wait to bid on this or you might miss out! I am also advertising this in my local paper starting this Sunday, 11/08/2010. I will remove it from eBay if my reserve has not yet been met and an acceptable LOCAL offer has been received. This won't last so BID NOW! IMPORTANT STUFF I purchased this vehicle in 2004 with approximately 88,000 miles on it. All repairs have been performed by BMW dealers. This is a one of a kind vehicle. This car has 2002 series BMW factory white tail lights and side lights. It also has factory BMW double spoke rims, REAR 265/35/18; FRONT 235/40/18 (15" rims were standard). These larger rims, especially being wider in the rear, truly make the car look incredible! Oil has been changed every 3K-5K miles, always with synthetic oil. Car has been garage kept and driven by a non-smoker. I have included several pictures of the actual vehicle for sale in this listing. The car runs extemely well and starts right up. Despite some dents and dings, the car still looks and drives great! Disclaimer Car is being sold AS-IS. Please ask questions and/or make arrangements to inspect vehicle PRIOR TO BIDDING. I am disclosing any known issues about the vehicle in this listing but as with any high mileage car, anything can happen at any time. I have a perfect feedback rating for a reason. I do not misrepresent my listings and I do not rip people off. I will list any known issues about the vehicle below: Known Issues I am not a mechanic so I am not qualified to offer advice or opinions on the issues listed below. Personally, I would keep the vehicle and spend the money necessary to fix the below problems if it were not for the fact that I need to purchase a truck for work. This is still such a pretty car and definitely worth the investment. However, I can only drive one vehicle at a time, therefore this one must go! Dents, dings, scrapes & scuffs (all worth noting are included in ad listing pics). Windshield gasket is dry-rotted but surprisingly does not leak. Aftermarket radio/navigation not working. Passenger side mirror screwed in place (see pic). Avoid car wash or replace mount. Rear right tailight not working (bulb is good). Traction Control warning light is on (see mileage pic). Cup holders in front and rear are broken (easily replaced). Back left power window motor needs replaced (both front window motors have been replaced). Power steering makes noise (I think resevoir has leak; noise stops when fluid added but is a recurring issue).
