    I will try to detail the systems to the best of my knowledge - if you have further questions, please send a message and I will respond as soon as possible. In addition, you may call or text me at any time at (seven one seven) 817-3118.

    I have driven this car to work and back (6 miles) nearly every day since fall 2012. The car has never left me stranded. I recently made a trip 2,500 mile trip in one week and experienced zero issues. My average fuel economy has been 26 mpg and I have only used premium fuel.

      been looking for an E30 for a while, and even though this one's not the one for me, I commend you for the extreme detail and disclosure. The willingness to deliver is an added bonus! GLWS!! Shouldn't last long, priced on point.

                        Mileage wasn't tracked for around 2 years due to odometer being broken. I replaced the odometer gears and the car should have fewer than 150,000 miles. I believe it reads 142,000.
