1998 BMW GREAT CAR TO FIX UP OR CUSTOMIZE IN TO A TUNER! THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GOOD, STARTS / STOPS WELL; BUT WILL NEED TIRES AND PAINT. THE CALIFORNIA SUN HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL ON THE CLEAR COAT, THE CAR DOES HAVE SOME DINGS AND A COUPLE DENTS (ALL FROM THE 1st OWNER.) WE BOUGHT THECAR THROUGH THE BMW SERVICE TECH , THAT MAINTAINS MY WIFE'S CAR. MY SON EXPRESSED INTEREST IN OLDER MODEL BMWS AND THOUGHT HE COULD GET IT FIXED UP BEFORE HE MOVED AWAY FOR COLLEGE. UNFORTUNATELY, HE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, SO NOW THE CAR SITS. IT RUNS AND DRIVES FINE, BUT HAS ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR WINDOW AND THE POWER LOCKS. IF YOU LOCK THE CAR, THEN IT WON`T START (SOMETIMES.) WE GOT AROUND THIS BY PLAYING WITH THE LOCKS. THE CAR WILL START AND DRIVE OVER AND OVER AS LONG AS YOU DON'T LOCK IT. THE LAST TIME IT LOCKED, WE HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT, AND RE-CONNECT IT, BUT IT WORKS AGAIN. MY SON PULLED OFF THE DRIVER DOOR PANEL AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT APPERS TO BE TWO SMALL SWITCHES. SADLY, HE'S NOT A BMW TECHNICIAN. SO HE DECIDED TO LEAVE IT FOR ANOTHER DAY AND HAS SINCE MOVED OUT. LUCKILY HIS NEW SCHOOL IS MOSTLY BICYCLES, SO HE NO LONGER HAS A NEED FOR THE CAR. DURING HIS ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE LOCKING ISSUE, HE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND A NEW KEY FROM THE BMW DEALER (KEY HAD NEW ELECTRONIC CHIP AND LASER CUT.) HE WOULD LIKE TO SELL THIS CAR "AS-IS" SINCE WE ARE MAKING NO CLAIM THAT IT WONT LEAVE YOU, IF YOU LOCK IT UP, AND TRY TO START. BUT WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT AROUND HERE. SO FAR SO GOOD. BUT AS MY SON WANTED THIS CAR AS A SCHOOL CAR, HE NEED IT TO LOCK UP. AND THAT`S WHERE HE LAST LEFT IT . HE IS SELLING AT A LOSS. CAR CAN BE DRIVEN OFF , AT YOUR OWN RISK, NEED TO PUT ALL THIS IN, SO EVERYONE KNOWS IT HAS LOCKING/STARTING ISSUES. IF YOU DRIVE , AND DON`T LOCK IT, WE HAVE HAD GOOD LUCK SO FAR LEAVING IT THIS WAY, BUT MUST SELL AS-IS", WHERE IS", CAR WILL LEAVE WHEN MONEY HAS BEEN CLEARED, SO CASH OR WIRE TRASFER ONLY, A $200.00 GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT MUST BE PAYPALED RIGHT AFTER "CLICKING THE BUY IT NOW" THE BALANCE IN 5 DAYS, CAR CAN SIT HERE FOR 3 WEEKS IF YOU NEED TO ARRNAGE A TRASPORT. IF YOUR LOCAL STOP BY AND DRIVE IT"" LESS THAN10 FEEDBACK? CONTACT ME 1st BEFORE CLICKING B.I.N.
