Rear lap belts removed though included with the sale. All receipts and service records have been retained from this ownership period. All work carried out on this lovely 2002 is of the utmost workmanship, having been performed by BMW professionals or myself. All features on the car are in full working order. I have spent a lot of time and money making this a unique and special example of the mark that will not be mistaken for another 2002.

On May-22-14 at 08:55:13 PDT, seller added the following information: There seems to be a bit of confusion on the "steering column directional unit" - this is the actual sending unit that is cracked internally (ie the left directional stalk base). Though when pushing down or up to engage the directional, it does still function correctly. There is nothing wrong with the steering column itself.
