Vehicle Detail
As a collector of primarily classic American cars from the 60's and 70's, this BMW is the "odd duck" in my garage. In fact, this car has been in a handful of different collections in the last few years and has seen very little use since 2007. The Dinan upgrades were what attracted me to this BMW. Now I'm clear on what they mean by "Ultimate Driving Machine". This is an outstanding car to drive. It molds together luxury and performance extremely well. I have enjoyed every mile I've put on this car. At my time of purchase I had a complete service performed that included a new battery, alternator, fluid change, wiper blades, etc. The brakes and tires are also almost new. The wheels have been updated to the factory 19 inch BMW 745 style. The Dinan components consist of a high-flow throttle body, cold air intake system and air flow meter. None of these items comprimise the car in any way. She just passed Oregon emissions with flying colors. The upgrades do, however, add significantly to performance and drivability. Truly a car that can be driven anywhere in total comfort without concern. This car has seen no abuse. Well cared for and maintained all of it's life. It is fully optioned with all power equipment, moonroof, CD changer, etc... Factory in-dash navigation and power rear window shade. Absolutely every toy and gadget function properly on the car. Interior and exterior condition is exceptional! The Titan Silver finish still maintains a high shine. There is NO damage, dents or scratches to mention. Any paint blemish is tiny or superficial and only visible on extremely close inspection. All glass (sides tinted), bumpers, trim, lights and lenses are excellent. The gray leather is still soft and shows little to no wear. The rest of the cabin area is also near perfect with no flaws of any kind. All of my eBay experiences over the years have been enjoyable as I've changed and rotated through the members of my collection. I am grateful for the kind comments I've received. My opinions have always served me well and I stand behind them but I welcome and encourage showing the car in person to anyone with genuine interest. The upcoming photos are true to the cars in-person appearance. Feel free to click on the "ask a question" link here in the auction and I will respond to all polite questions. Phone calls are great too. My number is 503-887-1231 and calls between 8AM and 9PM Pacific time are just fine. My auction runs for 7 days and is scheduled to end on Tuesday evening, the 15th of June at 7:30PM Pacific. For those that like to wait until the final minutes to bid- I respect that method but please note that I reserve the right to end my auction early in the event I accept a genuine offer and the car becomes no longer available. PLEASE, read my terms of sale located towards the bottom of this screen. I'm a reasonable person but I will not bend on these basic terms unless previously discussed during the auction. A little communication goes a long way. NO RESERVE AUCTION I did not set a reserve price on my BMW. All that I ask in return is for your bids to be real and your intent to purchase be sincere. I'm happy to answer questions. I took every picture you're about see on May 25th. Thanks for your time, DAVE Driving on I-405 here in NW Portland the day all of these photos were taken. I have found no evidence of repainting or exterior repairs of any kind. Even the front bumper and nose area are extremely nice. Not the typical peppered with rock chips we've come to expect. Only a handful of tiny blems on close inspection. Factory optioned with Xenon headlights. In the center of this photo you can see a very minor door ding. Like I said, she sure doesn't fit in with my classic car collection. The interior speaks for itself. Please notice the verticle line on the left side of the NAV screen. The navigation system functions correctly but that small line is there. Mileage reading is actual. Climate control, heating and cooling, is operating perfectly. Rear windscreen shade. Trunk is flawless. Complete factory tool kit. The undersides are what we hope to find. The car has not been exposed to salted roads or harsh chemicals. Mechanically the car is excellent. Evidence of a small oil leak can be found on my garage floor but nothing that requires attention. Clean and clear Oregon Title in my name. Terms of Sale: 10yr old vehicle being sold AS-IS: Please read and agree with the following: I have described my car honestly, to the best of my ability based on 25 years of owning and driving fine European cars. I have 100% faith in the drivability of this car and to my knowledge everything is in excellent working order. I have free and clear Oregon title in my possession. I would drive this car anywhere but she is a pre-owned vehicle and routine service and repairs should be expected. If you are not comfortable with a sight-unseen purchase, please come see the car for yourself or have an independent inspection performed PRIOR to bidding. I will not be responsible for the decisions of others. I would appreciate the winning bidder contacting me immediately upon end of auction just so the lines of communication are opened. My number is 503-887-1231. A $1000.00 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction ending, preferably through PayPal just so we are both protected. Wire transfers and verifiable cashier checks are also acceptable. I'm an easy going person so if you need to make special financial arrangements just let me know BEFORE you bid and I'll try to help. I have been with the same bank here in Portland for over 8 years and the Management staff knows me. You are welcome to contact them for your own security if you like. The remaining balance is due within 7 calendar days of auction end in the form of secure funds. Some banks and credit unions do not finance vehicles of this vintage. Make sure if you are financing that your financial institution accepts the year and value of this vehicle before bidding. Please have your method of payment arranged prior to auction ending. TRANSPORT - SHIPPING I am happy to be an active, hands-on, part of this process from start to finish but the buyer is ultimately responsible for pickup or shipping of this vehicle and any pre-purchase inspections need to be done BEFORE auction ending. If you wish to have it shipped using a service, I will gladly assist in loading and be present for the transport condition form or other reasonable help. Locating a transporter is the buyers responsibility but I can make recommendations and share the relationships I've built. Vehicle transport has become very reasonable. I personally use a privately owned trucking company. Dennis is a great guy and his direct number is 503-343-4884. He is based here in Oregon and has handled my transport needs perfectly for the last 3 years with careful handling, excellent rates and fast service even all the way to the East Coast. Dependable Auto Shippers (D.A.S.) is a transporter that eBay recommends and my experiences with them were just fine. My location zip code is 97267. Coast-to-Coast enclosed transport is around $1500.00 and even less the closer you are to Oregon. Shipping to Australia, Europe and other Countries has also become affordable and easy for me to arrange. I'm willing to be involved at every step. If you are outside of the United States or Canada, you MUST contact me BEFORE bidding. If you are an eBay member with negative history or have a (0) or low transaction score, I need to hear from you just to verify your sincerity and accept your bids as genuine. We all started from (0) and I'm happy to give a leg up. I reserve the right to cancel bids for these reasons. Communication is all I ask. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if the vehicle is no longer available or otherwise SOLD.
