Here's a bunch pics when I first got it.

I just bought a Mustang yesterday and this one needs to go. It's been an outstanding DD for my long commute (60 miles/day) for the past (3) years.
It's not perfect, but it is sold mechanically and runs amazing! Has 215k but the entire engine was replaced by BMW at 90,000 miles. So the engine only has 125k. These things go 3-400k regularily.
I have a very thick binder of maintainence records from the previous owner.
The only things I would fix are the front struts and a rear rubber frame mount. I have all the parts already. Just need put in.
Done within the last year or so...
New Performance Friction brake pads all around.
Newer rear rotors
New A/C compressor
New A/C condenser
A couple steering components
New windshield
The steering is pretty tight. It does have Eibach lowering springs in the front only. I never had the $$ to install the rears, but they are in the trunk. It has a raked appearance....About 1.5-2" drop up front. Looks bad-ass! The ride/handling are amazing as is so I said the heck with it. The pics below are BEFORE the front Eibach springs were installed. I hated the look of the big gap between the tire and fender.
Some rust developing along the bottom edge of the front doors. Light bulbs out in the message center. I have another one but not installed. The clear coat is just now starting to fade in a couple places.
The interior is leather and in very good shape. Actually, I have a set of replacement rear seats that need installed....
The tires are Kumo Ecstas LX Platinums. Very highly rated tire. Over 1/2 tread remains.
It has a 5 speed Auto with (3) modes. It's fun as hell in Sport mode! Really makes a difference in the shifting. There is a Manual mode as well that I never use.
It's been my DD for the past (3) years and has been dependable and reliable the entire time. I would drive it across country and back right now.
For $3000, you can't find a BMW in this condition. Go look around and you'll see. Price is firm. You will be hard pressed to find any BMW in this condition for this price
Located up in Troy, Ohio.
