Time for my BMW to find a new home. SW FL is not exactly engaging when it comes to driving, so let's find her a new owner.
Here are the facts:
91,000 miles
Oxford Green Metallic Dark Grey interior. one of only 187 Oxford Green cars produced that year.
3.2L 240 HP motor, that has not been modified in any way.
Most, but not all of the tools are still with the car. I do have the tire pump, which works fine. I also have a car cover.
Window sticker, and all manuals, including the radio code card.
CD/Cassette/AM/FM Radio (Harman Kardon) with 6 CD changer in trunk.
Top is in excellent condition, raises and lowers as it should. Plastic is clear. I'll post a photo later today.
Clutch and gearbox are good as well. No grinding of the gears, and clutch seems to have lots of life left on it.
Interior. The driver's bolster shows typical wear. I think a good interior guy could put it right in an hour or two. The center console (storage bin and cup holders) is not stock, it's some kind of add on that the prior owner installed. Heated seats and outside rear view mirrors.
Wheels. Have been refurbished to good, but not what I would call concours condition.
Tires. Khumo with plenty of tread left. Rears were replaced last year, fronts were on the car when I bought it, but were brand new at the time.
Battery is less than 1 year old.
A/C blows very cold, works great.
So, what's wrong with the car? There are two lights out on the dash, behind the clock and the amp gauge. They are accessed from behind the radio, which can be removed, but has to be done carefully as some of the screws have seen better days.
Does not suffer from some of the more common M Roadster maladies. Doesn't run hot, doesn't have a balky rear differential. And hasn't had a dozen owners. Has been well maintained and had a couple of tasteful modifications made. Which some might call wear and tear maintenance.
All of the brake pads have been replaced within the last 3000 miles, front rotors were replaced with cross drilled rotors. Suspension has been upgraded with height adjustable coil overs, and has been lowered about 3/4". It can be raised back to original drive height with minimal effort. (Yes, I do still have the special wrench, included with the car) Carfax indicates regular maintenance by BMW, and no accidents. I can confirm that the car drives great, is very strong, and has no mechanical issues.
Options? None. couldn't get many anyway.
This car is a 2000, which means it has the electronic stability control that these cars desperately need. They can otherwise be very tail happy.
Paint is very good, but does have some stone chips that I guess are expected in a 15 year old car that sits low to the ground.
I can load this on a truck for you and ship it anywhere in the US.
Price? A VERY reasonable $12,500. Shipping is not included.
Car can be seen locally in Punta Gorda, FL near Fort Myers, and not too far from Tampa.
Email me, or contact me here for more info.
Thanks for looking.
