Vehicle Detail
THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is this mint 1997 BMW 528i sedan! Finished in the rare color combination of Alpine white over black leather, this immaculate two-owner E39-chassis 528i has been driven a mere 109,400 since purchased new. It sports a superb-running 2.8 liter inline six cylinder engine mated to a rare and desirable 5 speed manual transmission. Stopping power is provided by four wheel disc brakes with anti-lock. This super clean sedan features rare heated electric leather seats AND steering wheel, upgraded 17" BBS style 5 wheels with good rubber [or you may also have the stock 15" wheels with brand new tires!], ASC traction control, electric windows and sunroof, electric tilt and telescoping steering wheel, am/fm/cassette stereo with trunk mounted CD changer and fold-down rear seats. It is being sold with clear and clean California title and just passed stringent California smog testing. This is a fabulous find for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a quickly depreciating new 550i sedan! PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS THE BODY AND TRIM The exterior of this car is in excellent to mint original condition overall. The rare color Alpine white paint has a nice shine with only just a few nicks and light blemishes including some curb rash one one or more of the style 5 wheels. Overall this is a very handsome well-preserved car which people will mistaken for much newer than its 17 years. THE INTERIOR The interior of this non-smoker car is in VERY good to excellent condition overall with all systems in perfect working order. There is some typical light wear on the left side bolster of the drivers seat leather and one cupholder is stuck open. The air blows cold, the heat and heated seats and wheel are toasty, the one-touch glass moonroof works well as do all of the other electric functions in this car. THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This 528i starts, runs and drives VERY well with smooth acceleration, crisp-shifting transmission, superb and straight braking with good pedal feel, smooth and supple suspension with nice tossable handling and wonderful steering feel. There is a slight griitiness from the sport 17" tires but the suspension is tight and shimmy-free. This is still a fabulous open-road touring car that will nip 30 miles to the gallon on the open road! THE DETAILS AND $$$$$$ 1. This 1997 BMW will be sold with clear & clean California title.
