Aftermarket CD player (Should be replaced as it is an olderunit)

Paint is in very nice shape considering it was repainted in2006. A few small dings but overall the paint presents very well

Interior is in good shape with no rips or tears in theleather. All seat functions work as they should with the exception of thedriver’s seat, it does not move vertically but all other functions workincluding the headrest. The dash is cracked which is common with these oldBMW’s and more so with ones that lived in the south for the majority of theirlife

Runs and drives without issue. The engine pulls strong toredline without any hesitation and the transmission shifts without issue. Them30 engine makes a great sound and I can listen to this car idle all day. Itdefinitely has a distinct German muscle car sound to it.

Things that needattention

Oil leak that I have yet to diagnose. I notice some oil spotsin the driveway when I move the car.

Trunk seal is need of replacement

There is a rattle during the initial startup that goes awayonce warmed up. It appears to be coming from the heat shield but I am notcertain

Brakes need attention as it does brake a little low

Will need a new set of tires and an alignment. I added a setof 16in BMW style 5 wheels but the original wheels and tires are included inthe sale

All in all this is great car that needs some minor TLC andit will be ready to drive anywhere.
