THIS IS A INTERESTING CAR. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO OWN BMW. I CAN NOW SCRATCH THAT OFF THE OLD BUCKET LIST. NOW TO THE CAR. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION! BUT WITH THAT SAID IT IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AND I MAY STOP AUCTION AT ANYTIME. THIS BMW HAS A BUMP ON THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER, FRONT BOTTOM COWL AND THE RIGHT FOG LIGHT IS BROKEN MISSING. THE BODY OTHER WISE IS NICE. I DON'T SEE ANY RUST, BUT THERE MAYBE SOME. ALL LIGHTS WORK EXCEPT LEFT REAR BRAKE. WE PUT IN A NEW BULB? THE TOP DOES NOT OPEN AND BACK PLASTIC WINDOW IS CLOUDY. INSTEAD OF USING THE UNIVERSAL REPAIR ALL, DUCT TAPE, THEY USED ROOFING TAR TO FIX A LEAK. THAT DIDN'T WORK! IF YOU CAN REPLACE JUST THE BACK WINDOW SECTION, THE REST OF THE TOP IS GOOD. I FIGURED OUT HOW TO UNCLAMP FRONT LIP, BUT IT'S FULLY AUTOMATIC AND HAVEN'T FOUND HOW TO LOWER MANUALLY. SO AT THIS POINT IT DOESN'T GO DOWN! SO DOES THAT MAKE IT A SUNROOF? TIRES ARE JUST OK. THE CAR HAS TO BE UNLOCKED, NOT SURE IF DRIVERS DOOR HAS TO BE OPENED, PUSH ON ROOF TRIM IN THE RIGHT PLACE, TO OPEN TRUNK! REALLY GOOD TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM STEALING STUFF OUT OF TRUNK. FRONT HOOD OPENS NORMALLY AND STAYS UP, REPLACED HOOD STRUTS. REPLACED 2 COILS, RADIATOR, BELTS AND HOSES, THERMOSTAT AND HOUSING. A COUPLE BLADES OF FAN WERE BROKE, SO THAT TOOK OUT WATER PUMP! NOW IT HAS A NEW WATER PUMP AND FAN. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GOOD! LETS GO INSIDE, THE FRONT SEATS ARE CRACKED, SCRATCHED AND WORN, BUT ARE STILL COMFORTABLE. THE ARMREST IS ALSO CRACKED. THE RADIO WORKS, BUT DON'T KNOW ABOUT CD PLAYER? CLIMATE CONTROL WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW WORKS SLOWLY, WHICH IS BETTER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE NOT WORKING AT ALL! THE REARS WORK FINE. SO THERE YOU GO! QUICK STOP ME BEFORE I BREAK OUT THE SAWS ALL AND MAKE IT A CONVERTIBLE FOR GOOD...................... IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 5 FEEDBACK OR POOR PERCENT APPROVAL, YOU MUST CALL ME FIRST OR I HAVE TO CANCEL YOUR BID. PLEASE DON'T TEST ME ON THIS. OTHERS SAY IT AND DON'T DO IT. I DO! SHIPPING IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NEW OWNER. I WILL HELP ON MY END. CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS! PAYMENT IS $500.00, NOT REFUNDABLE, WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE END OF AUCTION. THE REST IN CASH ONLY AT TIME OF PICK UP WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE END OF AUCTION. CAR IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF CINCINNATI, OHIO IN HAMILTON, OHIO. IT CAN BE AND SUGGESTED YOU HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND DRIVEN BEFORE AUCTION END. QUESTIONS? ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE AUCTION END AT 513-314-5930 OR EBAY EMAIL! HAPPY BIDDING TO OWN! On May-15-13 at 09:39:44 PDT, seller added the following information: OK, FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET TOP DOWN! THERE IS A NEW HOLE IN TOP. I MISSED THAT AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. ALSO GOT PASSENGER WINDOW DOWN, OF COURSE IT DOES NOT GO UP. I AM GETTING A LOT OF CALLS OF HOW IT RUNS. IM DRVING IT LOCALLY AND THE GAUGES SAY THE RIGHT THINGS. SO FAR NO PROBLEMS. IT HAS A GAUGE, FOR FUEL ECONOMY, THAT IM TRYING TO GET THE MOST. SO I PULL OUT SLOWLY AND ACCELERATE SLOWLY. I HAVE HAD IT UP TO 70 mph. THANKS!
