I don't normally sell many older vehicles but this is an exceptional specimen! One Owner midwest car in excellent condition with NO visible RUST?! Absolute sale at NO RESERVE! Not very many of these left...DON'T MISS OUT! The extrior of this car is in amazing condition. I'm no bodyman but I can't see any signs of any mojor bodywork or repaints except for the hood which is typical of it's age. Minimal rockchips to be found and only a handful of dings on the entire car. Bumper covers look great with only minor touchups. No damages, holes or cracks. Typical lower front rash and side lower rash, all of which has been touched up, barely seen unless you get down on your hands and knees to search. Plastic headlight lenses look near perfect with no dullness or cracks. Right front lower driving light lense is broken but functional. All exterior illumination works properly. No visible rust to be seen on the exterior or obvious door jamb/body seam areas. Vinyl trim is excellent with no fading. Exterior is an easy 8+ out of 10. Paint shines very well and with a professional detail/buff, the car would be a 9 overall including in the interior. Love these older BMWs! 4 matching tires have 80+% tread left at every corner. All ride on super duper clean damage/vibration free rims. BMW badging isn't worn or faded. Unseen are the recently replaced front brakes. Rears are about halfway. Brakes work perfectly with minimal, if any, pulsing(from sitting) and absolutely no grinding or noises. Above is about the worst of any of the dings/scratches. There is another small area just below the driver's side mirror that I tried to get in a camera shot, but couldn't see it. Note the VIN tags located in their correct positions. Not perfect, but the bumper cover corners have a few touchups. No damages. The spotless engine compartment. Sure sign of a well kept vehicle. Recent battery fires the smooth perfectly running engine right up. No noises. Engine light was on when I got the car for an O2 sensor. I usually attribute this to a dirty Mass Air Meter, which I cleaned and cleared the light. It hasn't returned. No signs of any major oil or coolant leaks. No spots on my shop floor overnight. No overheating. Fluids are clean. Transmission shifts as it should thru every gear. Suspension is tight...no noises, rattles, pops or squeaks. Car is tight and drives straight/smooth over any pavement with no unusual pulling or wandering. As stated, the brakes work flawlessly. Interior is also an easy 8+ out of 10. About the only thing to nitpick is the ONE tiny hole in the driver's seat leather on the left lower portion yet the bolster is minimally worn. No worn leather anywhere else. Carpet looks great. Door panels are awesome with only the little upper "BMW" screw covers missing (typical). Factory radio has been replaced with a much nicer Kenwood with all the goodies like Bluetooth, USB, Aux, CD, detach face, etc. All the power items seem to work as they should: windows, locks, cruise, heated power front seating, sunroof, mirrors, dual climate control with HOT heat and ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING, info panel (pixels look great on panel and climate control), etc. I HATE smoke and can't see or smell any remnants of a former smoker. Even the cigarette lighter seems unused. No ashtray stains or burns to be seen. Still smells like BMW when you open the door! Steering wheel is nice with no damages or worn areas. ALL the dummy lights illuminate upon startup with none staying on during run. Mileage has the typical dim backlighting but shows 139,2xx (add some for yours truly driving it at random). Below are the factory issued floormats with only the driver's side showing some staining. Easily cleaned if desired. Unseen is the complete spare setup with a full sized matching rim with a nice spare tire, aired up ready for your roadtrip home. The factory toolkit has only a few tools remaining. Center armrest looks great with no wear. Cupholders are intact. Below you can see ALL the factory manuals are included with only one factory key. Inspect my excellent feedbacks.
