I bought this car in the Cities (MN) for my teenage son. He drove it as a daily driver for a couple years then went on with his life. I have had it since then. I rarely drive it (but it is very drivable). I have purchased a minivan as my extra vehicle (for transporting the grandchildren). I need the parking space. This car runs but has issues (the check engine light remains on). I drove this car this summer but now it needs a top post battery because the posts are broken (always started with a charged battery). The electric windows all work but some of the controls need to be cleaned or replaced. The electric locks need some TLC also. The interior is leather but is sun faded. The most positive aspect of this car is the body (although it will need a paint job due to sun bleaching on horizontal surfaces). There is virtually no rust anywhere (one small rust spot in the trunk and one small dent in front passenger door). Even the door cavities are nearly showroom! The sunroof is motorized and works. There is a slight bend on one side of the hood (the hinges occasionally need oiling). The radio is not in the dash cavity. I would suggest that this car should be purchased as a restorable project (I know that some people would desire this car for that purpose). This vehicle will probably need at least some TLC before it becomes a daily driver. I'm not a mechanic and I really don't want to put more money into the car before I sell it. Please bid accordingly. The title I have (from Wisconsin) shows no indication of prior accidents (it does not say salvage on the title) but the VIN report indicates a previous salvage. Therefore, Ebay demands that the title is to be reported as such in this listing. I am not claiming to be any kind of an expert on this or any vehicle. I am just trying to describe my BMW to the best of my ability. I set the starting bid at a fraction of the price I was asking locally. This vehicle books at many times my starting price. The tranny and wheels are worth more than that (plus coming to get the car)! This is a No Reserve auction so I already know that someone is going to win this car at the end. Good Luck! AS-IS – No Warranties An internet auction, just like any live auction is a final sale. If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, then please do not place a bid. Just like any other used vehicle, this vehicle is being sold as is. I will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle at the buyer's request prior to the close of sale. I have done my very best to give an accurate and honest description of my car, but please understand that I am not a professional and I may not know everything to look for. 0” feedback bidders should call or email prior to placing your bid. I do not want to discourage you from bidding, only to verify that you are serious! Without this contact your bid can be cancelled. Buying a car on ebay can be exciting and yet confusing and I simply want to help you make the right decision and have fun in the process.This car is located in Superior, WI (54880) and it is the buyer's responsibility to pick it up or personally arrange for transport.
