InteriorCondition:

The interior is very nice, ith nice wood trim on the dash and excellent leather seats. Both cup holdersare functioning (common failure in these Bimmer's), he pixels are all lighting fine (anothercommon failure), nd everything works as it should.All-weather floor mats are include, long with two key fobs (one works remotely....the other will need to be used the old fashioned way by sticking it in the door lock). Also have the owner's manual.

Exterior Condition:

Thedeep black paint still has a nice shine toit withno visible rust on the car.It's been a daily driver for 12 years and 174k miles, o it has the usually paint chips and minor scratches found on most any 12-year old car. The exterior heated mirrors are starting to show some discoloration around the edges as they tend to do on these cars. Also, here's a crack that recently developed on the passenger side of the windshield. Tires are fairly new with only 13k miles on them. TheXenon headlights are in decentshape, nd both rear taillightswere recently replaced along with the taillight connectors (these tend to corrode overtime).

Current Issues:

This BMW has been maintained all its life and drives extremely well. That being said, ny daily driver that's 12 years old with well over 100k miles is going to have its share of "uniqueness" and future maintenance requirements. Here are the issues and needed maintenance I'm aware of -

• The torque converter triggers the Service Engine light to come on. This has been going on for the last 90k miles. The torque converter still engagesas testing has shown while driving a steady speed. I talked to my mechanic atNikolas Motorsportabout it, nd he said I could get the transmission oil changed which MAY make the light go away, r he said some clients just leave it and never have an issue. These cars have the "sealed for life" transmissions per BMW and the transmission has always shifted very well since I've owned it, o I've left it alone for now.
• I replaced the front brakes and rotorslast fall, owever they've recently developed aslight vibration when stopping. It's very subtle and the car stops extremely well. The rotors were OEM replacements purchasedfrom Auto Zone and are still under warranty, owever I haven't had the time to pull them off and exchange them.
• Nikolas Motorsport has recommended the drive belts and brake fluid be replaced in the near future.

Summary:

This is a very nice car for the price that has been maintained and should serve the new owner for manyyears. It's not perfect, ut neitherare any other used car in this price category. I encourage potential buyers to test drive and compare this BMW to other cars you're cross shoppingin this price category. Please respond with any questions. Also, can take additional pictures of specific areas if needed....just ask! Thanks for your interest.
