THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this M Roadster coupe is in mostly superb, close to new condition throughout with only very minor rock nicks/chips, slight wear on the convertible top seam and, yes ouch, the dent on the left front fender. And about that dent that occurred pulling out of the parking space......after much deliberation I decided to present the car as is prior to any repairs. The Autocheck is clean AND I wanted the new owner to see it in the flesh and decide what to do with it and who to do the repair AND list the car here as having no paint work. Yes, not everyone may agree with this but here you go.
THE INTERIOR
The interior of this 2001 BMW is in Italicimmaculate, gently used condition overall befitting a 28,XXX mile automobile. ALL the controls and function work as they should and everything is factory original except for the upgraded cd stereo. There is a slight bit of wear on the side bolster of the driver seat and other negligible imperfections from normal use.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This little BMW is an absolute hoot to drive!!!!! It is ALMOST too powerful! That S54 engine is a screamer willing to rev past the 8,000 redline in every gear. I took a quick blast to 145 and it was still pulling hard. The shifting is pure and accurate, the braking is superb with excellent pedal feel and the handling is go-cart like tossable! This is one fabulous driving car with that semi-classic BMW feel!
