I'll update these as I recall them or sort through the receipts. I have receipts for all of the above parts.
- Great AC, Heat and heated leather seats.
- Car was not optioned with fold down rear seats or sunshades.
- Complete oem tool kit.
This car is a very solid daily which I have enjoyed tremendously. It is evident this car has been driven as a daily but taken care of over the years.
I can only think of two issues at present. The front seats adjust only forward and back up and down but do not recline at present or else they will twist slightly. This is very common in the e39 and they could use repair. With that said, they are adjusted perfectly for me and I've never had an issue finding the sweet spot for driving position.
There are also a couple of daily driver cosmetic boo boos that I purchased it with.
Besides a scuff on the rear bumper, and a small ding here and there the only real notable one is pictured. A small crease in the driver's side quarter right above rear bumper where a shopping cart got the car. There is also slight oxidation of the paint on the top of rear bumper and a couple of the cars door handles. (Not on roof, hood, or front bumper whatsoever)
This car will be priced at what I think it's worth but I will consider offers and comments. But keep in mind of this car had a perfect exterior I would be asking 10 or 12k.
It's been a real pleasure to own and work on as one of a dozen or so BMW I have owned but I rarely have any car for long. There is currently a note behind this car so any transaction will be conducted in tandem with my credit union as lien holder.
Car has no ses or cel lights and the torque is very addictive
Questions and comments welcome.
