If you are thinking about getting a car with a WOW factor, this car is a steal when compared to what you get today new for $24,000. You now have the opportunity to own the car that sat on a turn stile in BMW's New Jersey headquarters for several years before being sold to the person from which I bought it from in 2001. The car has only 48,921 miles and the majority of these are highway miles from trips to Los Vegas, Montreal and such. This gorgeous car is a head turning machine that I must sell due to the my having too many toys and no more space in which to put them. I am proud to say that this car rides as beautifully as it looks and as a condition of sale, I will have the car detailed inside and outside prior to shipping. If you know anything about this model of BMW, you know that it is the most distinctive looking BMW ever made with only 1280 cars sold in the USA between 1991 and 1997. People still stop me to take pictures of it and rave about it. This car went to Motorwerks BMW in Barrington, Illinois in August of this year and had a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection. ALL items that required attention have been addressed fully.
