1997 528i Automatic
Artic Silver
VIN: PM me
Clean Title
137,000 miles and counting...It's my daily driver.
Trade: Not sure what I want yet. Feel free to offer. I will put cash on top for cars that are worth more than mine. NO BIKES. I would really like the car to aesthetically and mechanically up to par with what I have.
Price: Not looking to sell, however I'll put up $4900.
Contact: PM or e-mail. I prefer PM. [email protected]
------------------
First and foremost, I'm going to describe the car to the best of my abilities so there will be as few surprises as possible.
I acquired this car in November from a family friend. He was a pilot and the car was rarely driven. It sat in a covered parking lot at his apartment. He wanted a truck, so he sold the car. He had quite a bit of maintenance done, but I have no records of the maintenance done. The trans was flushed and filled by BMW, thrust arms and tie rods were replaced. The car tracks straight with no wobbles or shakes. It is a fantastic driving car. I'd be willing to start the car up and drive it cross country tomorrow.
Reason of sale:
Since I have parted out my project fun car, I am looking for a bit more exciting DD.
Exterior: The paint is in very nice condition for 1997. It has a nice shine, with very few scratches. The trim is in nice shape. There are no major dings or dents on the car. There is one problem area with the hood. The PO's daughter had a small accident with another car. The hood is slightly bent from a rear-ender. It is very light, it only contacted the grill area and the trim around the tag on front bumper. Headlights are foggy and hold condensation. See pictures.
Interior: The interior is also in very nice condition. Everything electric works. Memory seats. There are no rips or tears to be mentioned. There is very minimal wear on the driver seat. There are a total of 3 cracks on the wood trim, and none of the cupholders pop out. The carpet is pretty clean. The rear seats look nearly new. The floormats are starting to show their age, but nothing too bad. The door panels look very nice for the age.
The trunk looks fantastic, and the tool kit looks complete and untouched. Spare matches and looks like new.
The engine compartment is clean and leak free. I just changed the oil about 100 miles ago. The transmission is flawless and leak free. It shifts perfect.
The tires are Michelin and have tons of tread left.
This would make a fantastic DD or grocery getter for someone out there. If I keep it, I'll probably do just that.
