Guys it's time for me to part ways with my 325iX. I've tried to represent the car as best I can. Asking $8,000 located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

This car was purchased in 2009 in Denver and has been in Colorado under my ownership ever since. I have the original owners manual with a couple of records dating back to the year 2000. The car was in the Virginia area for its first 100k miles before coming to the Evergreen/Conifer area by 2006. The car was my primary vehicle for close to a decade but has since been relegated to occasional and weekend duties. As a 32 year old vehicle, it now qualifies to be registered in Colorado as a Collector Vehicle. With regular maintenance on the AWD system and regular timing belt changes, the M20 is one of the most reliable engines BMW ever produced. This car has not had problems in winter conditions and is even better on snow tires! It has been featured as the car in the promotional photo on the BMW CCA annual ice event at Georgetown Lake (Which it has attended multiple times. The car can be seen at the 3:40 mark of this 2014 video: https://vimeo.com/84650012?embedded=...title&owner=50 55307 ) This car is not perfect and its flaws are evident, but from a distance really looks sharp when it is clean. The engine runs strong and the driveline is in good condition. This is a good running car that could use a few things to make it a daily driver again. Clearcoat is disappearing on the front fenders and the hood, but the fenders have been that way and have not changed much in the past decade.

-Car was in a fender bender where the rear bumper was pushed in. Insurance declared it a total loss in 2018 due to the high miles. I kept the car, removed the bumper bolt and replaced some plastic trim. There is a small dent and the battery tray is pushed in 1/2". The right side rear bumper mount is not connected anymore I did not submit paperwork for a a salvage title, the title is still clean and in my name.
-ABS stopped working after the engine swap. The front ABS sensors were disconnected so those are likely the issue. I have not investigated further. ABS light is on

-glove box handle is broken, but it turns out that is actually an anti-theft feature
- tach and temp gauge sometime work intermittently. odometer doesn't always work when it is cold outside
