Vehicle Description
This car has been my daily driver for over 6 years and 70k miles. Very rarely optioned car (possibly 1 of 8) ordered to be as lightweight as possible with cloth Vader seats and slick top (no sunroof). I have receipts and records for all services since I purchased the vehicle at around 127k miles, currently has 206,224 miles. Most jobs I have done myself with the more complex work being done by Ultimate Bimmer Service in Carrollton, TX. I have replaced almost every part on this car since I have owned it. Oil has been changed every 4-6k miles and I have only ever used Mobile 1 W15-50 race synthetic oil. Just changed the oil and put on new Hankook V12 Evo 2 tires less than 100 miles ago. Everything mechanical on the car is in great condition and it drives great.
Issues with the car: The car has a rebuilt title and the passenger side rocker panel doesn’t line up perfectly as a result, can be seen in the photos. The paint is not very good and the driver seat is torn on the left side. Repainted front bumper doesn't perfectly match. I reversed into a car causing some paint damage to the driver side rear bumper, seen in photos. The ABS sensors need to be changed causing the ABS and traction control lights to be on. Airbag light is on, unsure of the reason. The brake pad sensor is on but only because I didn’t replace the pad wear sensors. Pads are at about 65-70%, can pull the tires off to show if needed. Stock radio works but will randomly turn off and a couple of the speakers don’t work. I have been using a Bluetooth speaker which fits in the cup holder and will stay with the car.
