108 K miles, Sport Package, 6 CD Changer, Digital Dual Climate Control, Traction Control, Power Sunroof, Heated Seats, Boston Green Metallic exterior, Grey Leather Interior, Runs great and is very quick, always garaged (work & home), Oil/Filter changed every 3000 miles, & always used 91 Octane. I recently replaced the front brakes and rotors with OEM parts. Electronics are in good working condition (CD changer, power windows/locks, lights, trip computer). The car gets about 21 MPG in the city and 27 MPG for trips to Vegas, has great accelearation, handles like a charm on its Michelin Pilot HX MXM high performance tires, is in good mechanical shape, and is registered till May of 2008.

Minor issues:
FM radio sometimes does not work
One fog light is cracked
Rear tires should be replaced soon
11 year old normal wear/tear

I have pictures of this on autotrader under zip code 90640. Selling to buy a 4 door. Will consider trades for 97 & up 5 series or 99 & up 3 series in good condition, non salv title. I will try posting pics later.

I hadn't checked KBB for a while, so I'm negotiable with the price. I will also consider trades for 4 door BMWs. Please refer to the above listed sites for pictures.

The lack of interest must be the color or it's an auto vs. a manual... who knows? Still waiting for some offers.

Thanks for last night's bump RDSport323

not into green...but thats just me. it took awhile for me to sell mine...made no logical sense when it was sold. it was as good a year earlier as the day i sold it...why it didnt sell for a year is a because of lurkers. selling it cost me about 7 weekends of hanging out only to hear, "I'll be there" and then never showing up. part of the game i guess.

g/l w/sale.

do you have your car listed on autotrader? says it has 111,000 miles w/ the same photos, and VIN#WBABG2328VET33583..? i'm local and was sort of interested, but i ran a carfax and it says it was an in accident 1/20/2000. i guess it wasn't your fault since it was due to the first owner, and you're the 3rd and that's why you probably don't know?

well good luck w/ the sale!

Yes, that's my car on Autotrader & I thought I was the 2nd owner. I've owned it for about 7 years and dealer (who could have been the "2nd" owner) who offered it said it was a lease return. I checked it out completely when I bought it & didn't see any problems whatsoever. It could have been a fender bender accident which got registered as an accident. In any case, I welcome anybody to check out the car and judge for themselves.
