I bought this Bimmer for my wife with about 52k miles on it back in 2003. It's never been in an accident and it was equipped with every option available to the first owner (I'm the second driver owner - technically there are three owners but I had someone buy it for me at an auction and I bought it from him).

You can also find all about the specifications for this car (and car reviews) on such places as Edmunds, etc. Suze Orman once said, "Never buy a new car. Find one that has been very well-maintained built by an automaker with a quality reputation and known for their service." Good advice, but if you've read this far you know that this is not just any, "get from A to B" car - it's quiet, powerful, economical and is already a classic. Please ask questions before you bid and know that if you don't have 3 or more positive recommendations you will need to get my permission to bid or I will remove your bid. I must follow this practice as there are those out there that jump in to pump up an auction with no intent to buy. Registration is current in California (through June 2014) and a recent smog check pass (4/08/13) with emmisions coming in as follows: HC Max allowed = 45 - Measured = 9 CO (%) Max allowed = 0.45 - Measured = 0 NO (PPM) Max allowed = 680 - Measured = 0001 If I can sell my car locally, I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. Shipping arrangements if needed are to be made by the winning bidder. Again, please let me know if you need more details!

It's never been in an accident and it was equipped with every option available to the first owner (I'm the second driver owner - technically there are three owners but I had someone buy it for me at an auction and I bought it from him). We've both loved it and used it carefully since then, but we've downsized and it no longer fits our needs. We have, however, maintained it like we could keep it forever...

It's integrated into the Premium sound system with no cables or external tuners (with the Sirius antenna facing the sky under the center tail light enclosure - it's partially shown in one of the photos below). Tuning is done, as all other systems (NAV, FM, AM, Aux, TV, Rear view in Reverse, etc.) through the large screen BMW menu screen. Nothing showing inside or outside the car and it works perfectly.
