What an amazing car.....Ultimate Driving Machine...and for great reason. I have logged about 500miles on this car over the winter to ensure it's reliability. Started every time. Drove everywhere. Nothing to complain about. No issues or problems. You can't feel the age and mileage unless you look at the odometer. The exterior looks great! Yes it shows some expected nicks, chips and scratches but nothing major. The worst of it lies in the front...mainly the front bumper cover. No major cracks or holes but plenty of teeny tiny rockchips and a handful of touched up chips. Under the front lower edge is the overly typical parking curb rash, as you can see below on edges in pics. Sadly the hood shares some of the teeny rockchip artwork as well. Shockingly the plastic headlight lenses have minimal fading/chips, no damages and shine brightly at night. Easily wetsanded and buffed if desired. All exterior illuination works as it should except the lower front driving lights....switch works so I'd assume the bulbs are out. Have you noticed the INSANE shine in the paint?? The reflection of the perfect clouds and trees?? Of course you did! Above you can see the meat left on the matching tires at every corner. At least 60% treadlife left. All ride on nice minimally scratched/chipped rims and offer ZERO vibrations at any speed.Below...I need to point out the biggest eyesore....the small dents on the lower forward corner of the front left fender. No noticeable damages to the glass. I don't know HOW this is, but I can count on one hand....how many dings are in the rest of the body. ZERO rust to be seen. I'm no bodyman, but I can't see any signs of any bodywork or repaints. Rear bumpercover has minimal nicks and light scratches. No damages. No cracks or repairs. Note the factory VIN tag on the trunk. Even the tailpipe tips look great!! Above you can see the largest scratch/touchup and ding on the right rear door. Sorry the mirror effect of the paint gets in the way of seeing the biff!! Under the hood....close your eyes.....point to a spot....eat off it. Clean clean. Not all greased up with shiny stuff to hide any flaws. I have had this car inside for days at a time, no spots on my shop floor. No major oil or coolant leaks to be found. Engine fires right up with the super duper strong battery. Runs smoothly with no unusual noises. Pulls effortlessly to redline if desired. No overheating. Transmission shifts as it should thru every gear. Fluids are clean. Oil/filter just changed but the sticker didn't make it thru my cleaning efforts. Valve cover gasket looks recently replaced which is great since it's a common leak source. Unseen are the brakes and suspension. Brakes look to have been recently replaced and ride on smooth pulse free rotors. No grinding. Suspension is noise free and tight. Car drives straight and smooth with no unusual pulling or wandering over any pavement. Interior is an easy 8+ out of 10. I HATE smoke and can't see or smell any signs of a former smoker. Smells like BMW leather interior, in fact. Leather looks great. Minimal stains that can be cleaned if desired. No cuts, tears or damages with the exception of a small puncture on the driver's edge door panel from what may have been the seatbelt...purely nitpicking here...unseen unless the door is open. Minimal driver's bolster wear. Carpet looks like a car half it's age. No stains or damages. No signs of animals or mom-mobiles. Steerinng wheel and shifter have minimal wear.Below you can see ALL the dummy lights illuminate upon startup with ONLY the Airbag light staying on during run. The information display says it's a passenger airbag sensor fault but ok to drive "thing". I don't have a scanner to properly diagnose it but it hasn't interfered with driving, etc. Very typical code in the BMW lineup. Otherwise everything appears to be A-OK!! Screen is perfect and functions properly. Navigation works flawlessly!! Note the disc is included! Dual climate controls work as they should along with all the other power items: ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING, HOT HEAT, radio, CD, Navigation, transmission modes, windows, mirrors, sunroof, twin heated front power seats, High Def headlights and adjusters, locks, traction control, Homelink and anything else I can't remember!! Most of the tool kit in intact along with the unseen spare setup aired up ready for your drive home! A nice bonus is the set of rubber BMW floormats AND factory issued carpeted set of floormats are included! License plate frame is ready to bolt on. Above you can see even the passenger cupholder is working....altho the facecap is missing...and the left side cupholder does not work. I assure you that you won't even notice while you are driving this beautiful machine!! Below you can see the COMPLETE FACTORY issued manuals are included!! Some barely opened. Only one working keyless/key is included. This car is ready to go! Inspect my excellent feedbacks. BID, BUY, and DRIVE ANYWHERE with 100% CONFIDENCE!! Clean clear title in hand along with the paperwork. You have ALWAYS wanted a $60k car...this one is a fraction of it's original price!! BID TO WIN! ABSOLUTE SALE!! NO RESERVE!! GOOD LUCK!! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD AND THE CONTENTS BELOW!!PLEASE REMEMBER: This vehicle is a USED vehicle, NOT NEW, used. Specifically a 12 year old car with 169+k miles. Since this is my source of income, I cherry-pick each vehicle to sell. I ALWAYS pass on any vehicle unworthy of your family and hard earned money. As with ALL my NO RESERVE auctions, you will be in a position to buy this car for a FRACTION of it's original purchase price. These vehicles are all versions that I would own for myself or offer my family. For 15 years now, I do the best that I can (personally doing everything from start to finish) in a short period of time to drive, inspect, repair, clean, pic and list the cars I sell. I will bet that your local dealership isn't providing this personal service. If they do?? Awesome. They should. But I guarantee you it's at a premium. I don't tolerate tire-kicking and nitpicking. I work hard to offer you the best that I have available to me. Doesn't matter if it's a $1500 or a $15,000 vehicle. Inspect my feedbacks, I don't sell junk and treat all my buyers as friends. I expect the same in return, please. GOOD LUCK! I am looking forward to doing business with you!The venue of sale is Will County, Illinois.
