He is being brutally honest in his description so I'll let his words speak for themselves . Fly into Nashville or Huntsville Ala , drive home anywhere ...Oh incidentally I am the guy with the stock 15" ix wheels he mentions (he was being polite I guess ) . Bill Proud, 36 yrs messing with BMWs .. PS Email HIM ,not me !! >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just got married, and college is in full swing. I must sell my project car. It is automatic, 220k miles, black exterior ,has a grey cloth interior, ski pass-through and bag, and a Kenwood CD head unit with good speakers. THE GOOD The car has new front(Bilstein ) and rear (Boge) struts/shocks. The timing belt, water pump, and tensioner were replaced when I purchased the car @ around 210,000. The engine runs strong, and the automatic transmission seems to shift fine through all gears. The only rust I have found is in the trunk where the jack is kept. A small pencil-eraser sized hole is in the center of the jackwell. The transfer case and transmission were replaced with younger units to cure an abnormal sound. The paint is in fair condition. It was repainted before being sold to the dealer in OH. The ellipsoid headlights are in great condition. No warning or indicator lights are lit. The AC blows cold. The CD player works fine, and I replaced the front speakers with Sony Xplod models. The rear speakers are Blaupunkt models, I believe. I have a recent CarFax that is available on request. THE BAD The abnormal sound (stretched chain) is still there. I was foolish enough to pay good money for a used part. My loss. The car drives fine, but under hard braking or cornering, the chain can be heard rubbing on the case. The paint shows signs of hasty spray. Most of the car is beautiful with a good wash and wax, but the hood shows a little hazing as does the trunklid. There is also a crack that has erupted on the driver's rear fender trim piece. There is some sort of loose connection in the fusebox on the ECU fuse which requires a fuse to be inserted between two adjacent fuses to keep a constant connection. The rear windows do not work, but did when I bought the car. Pressing the switches yields a barely audible click in the window motors but "no go." The sunroof went through a failed attempt at a crank-to-electrical mechanism conversion. It is now back to crank, and works fine. The tires need to be replaced. The wheels will also need replacement. The wheels are discontinued Panther's, and one is bent (beyond repair??). I KNOW OF A SET OF 4 ORIGINAL 15" BASKETWEAVES locally, but I cannot buy and add those to the sale. I can pass on numbers and email addies if needed. The car drives fine below 50mph, but above that the bent wheel makes itself known. The interior shows signs of wear. The buckets are slashed pretty badly, but a seat cover (like I used) would cover that up. Photos and CarFax are available. Just email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info. The car has to move soon. I am located in southern, middle Tennessee. Thank you for your interest.
