You are bidding on a 2004 BMW 530i with the fairly Sport Package along with the Cold Weather package. It's fully loaded except for Logic 7, Nav and parking sensors. The sport package which is really hard to find includes sport leather seats, 18" wheels, black shadow line trim and a 1" factory lowered suspension. It also comes with Active Steering, Active Suspension and the famously smooth M54 straight 6 cylinder engine. This car has always been very well maintained and has a clean Car Fax. The car has always had Mobile 1 0W oil changes and I've done most of the work needed to keep this car running well, which it has... it's been my daily driver for over 3 years (from 80,000 to 150,000... almost all highway). It's in Titanium Silver Metallic with black Napa leather sport seats. All of the normal things that go wrong with a 5-series have been addressed: Coolant system rebuild, brake system flush, front suspension rebuild (control arms, ball joints, etc.) DISA Valve was rebuilt with a new titanium pin, brakes are new, tires are new Goodyear Eagle F1 All-seasons, MAF sensor, spark plugs and O2 sensors have all been replaced. Runs and drives great. This being a 12-year old German car, there are of course a few things that need attention:Valve cover gasket is leaking a bit and dripping oil onto the exhaust on occasion which can create a whiff of oil to come in the cabin if using the HVAC. The AC stopped blowing cold this summer, so that would need to be addressed. There is a check engine light on and it's giving me an emissions code, but have not diagnosed it yet (the car runs and drives wonderfully so I haven't been in a hurry to figure it out). There is a tiny hole on the driver's side seat from the heating element bending and coming into contact with the seat. Other than that, the interior is in very nice shape. There are multiple dents and dings all over the car as you can see in the photos. Lastly, I had the passenger seat airbag sensor replaced via recall, but my dealer failed to reset the warning light, so the passenger restraint system warning is still on. That's the good and bad and is the most honest description I can give you right now. It's a great car, runs and drives very nice and has been very well taken care of. I did nearly all the work myself, so I don't have service receipts, but I do have receipts for all the parts I bought if needed.
