* Regular oil changes every 5-7k miles with full synth 5w-30 and mann filters.
Known issues:
* Sunroof shade is off clips. I have not used the sunroof as to not worsen this condition (common e46 problem). I have a sunroof repair kit and brand new replacement shade, but haven't found time to install it.
* Driver's leatherette sport seat shows some wear on bolster and bottom portion
* Navi works on occasion. I had the trunk unit sent for repair but it still didn't completely remedy the problem. Some pixels on display look to be going. OBC still works 100%.
* Car did not come with retracting shade for trunk area
* I was told that the left rear wheel has a slight bend in it
* Front woofers in doors are buzzing, should be replaced
* Mountainous area is hell on rotors, some pulsation occurring in front when braking. I have gone through 2 sets in approx. 4 years. Pads are fine. Will replace rotors upon buyer request, but will not install until vehicle is ready to be picked up.
* Airbag light is on, not sure of cause
Positives: Exterior and interior are above average, very clean with normal wear for the age/miles. Engine is very strong, very little oil loss between changes. Non-smoker, abnormal odors, stains, etc. Car has been very extremely reliable and has never let us down. My wife continues to use this car as a grocery getter/daily driver (5-mile work commute).
Reason for selling: I have 3 cars and a motorcycle, will have kids in college soon, need to reduce size of fleet (i.e NOT INTERESTED IN TRADES).
Location: Lewisburg, WV (3 hrs from Charlotte, 4 hrs from DC, 2.5 hrs from Richmond, VA, 3 hrs from Lexington, KY).

Bump - updated pics of interior......
I forgot to mention that it comes with a full sized spare - Michelin pilot exalto (style 73 rim in rough shape due to pothole). But this has safety advantages vs. the donut tire in an emergency.
