2002 BMW 325ci CONVERTABLE NO RESERVE

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO. THERE WAS A SICKNESS IN THE FAMILY AND THEN A DEATH AND I COULDN’T GIVE ANY TIME TO SERVICING IT. I MANAGED TO GET A NEW PAINT JOB ($1400-$1500) AND BUY SEVERAL ITEMS FROM ANOTHER MODEL. THESE INCLUDED A CENTER CONSOLE AND ARM REST, AND 2 REPLACEMENT LENSES FOR THE REVERSE LIGHTS AS ONE OF THEM WAS CRACKED (SEE PHOTOS) AND A REAR VIEW MIRROR. I DID NOT INSTALL THESE. IN THE MEAN TIME I SAW A Z3 ///M THAT I LIKED AND BOUGHT IT. SINCE I’D RATHER BE DRIVING THE Z3///M, I’M SELLING THE 325CI.

AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THIS CAR, I INSTALLED A NEW BOSCH BATTERY. AS I ALWAYS DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE BLOCK TO KEEP IT FRESH, I NOTICED THAT I’D HAVE TO JUMP IT SOMETIMES. I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND IT HAD A BAD CELL AND IT WAS REPLACED YESTERDAY FOR FREE AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARENTY. WHEN I INSTALLED THE NEW BATTERY, THE DASH INSTRUMENTS DIDN’T WORK. IT HAD DONE THIS ONCE BEFORE WHEN THE OLD BATTERY HAD DIED ONCE BUT SOON BEGAN TO WORK AFTER CHARGING THE OLD BATTERY. I COULD CHECK THE FUSES AS THE ONE FOR THE INSTRUMENTS MIGHT NEED REPLACING BUT I CAN’T OPEN THE GLOVE BOX. THE TOP DOESN’T WORK. A MECHANIC GOT IT TO START TO OPEN BUT DECIDED NOT TO TRY TO OPEN IT ALL THE WAY AS HE FELT THE PRESSURE IN THE PUMP WAS LOW AND HE MIGHT NOT GET IT TO CLOSE. THIS CAN BE DONE MANUALLY. IT NEEDS SHOCKS AND TIRES. THERE ARE SOME BUSHINGS THAT COULD BE REPLACED. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SEEMS TO WANDER IN THE LANE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A COUPLING BETWEEN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE RACK THAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THIS AND MIGHT NEED REPLACING, OR IT MIGHT BE DUE JUST TO THE CONDITION OF THE TIRES AND SHOCKS. THERE IS A REFLECTOR MISSING ON THE LEFT FRONT BUMPER. THE KIDNEY GRILL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEEDS THE CLIPS TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. I SET IT IN PLACE FOR THE PICTURES BUT KEEP IT IN THE CAR UNTIL IT CAN BE PROPERLY FASTENED. THE RIGHT TURN SIGNLE ASSEMBLY IS LOOSE AND NEEDS TO BE SECURED PROPERLY. THE ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS WELL AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WELL AND SMOOTHLY. THERE ARE 151,100 MILES ON THE CAR THAT I READ JUST BEFORE THE NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED YESTERDAY. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS TIGHT WHEN TURNING BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 40 OR 50 MILES IN ALMOST 2 YEARS. THE AIR CONDITION ISN’T COLD. I HAD PURCHASED 2 FRONT SEATS THAT ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT THESE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE OF THE CAR UNLESS THE PURCHASER WISHES TO MAKE A SEPARATE DEAL FOR THEM. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR HAD BROKEN SO I PURCHASED ONE FROM A 3 SERIES ///M. I BELIEVE THAT THE CONNECTOR ON THE NEW MIRROR CAN BE PLUGGED IN SOMEWHERE BUT HAVEN’T DONE THIS. A WALK AROUND VIDEO IS AT:
