Bought CPO’d in Nov 2007 from Union BMW in DE.

Condition:
• Excellent mechanical condition.
• The Interior is in very good condition, minimal wear on the bolsters. No sagging headliner or other issues.
• Minor sun fading on rear deck (typical for E46s).
• Exterior paint in very good condition. Minor scratches and a couple dings.
• Rear trunk could use minor paintless dent removal (walnuts from parking under a tree once).
• Generally a very good condition, well kept, above average ~9 year old car.
• Minor pad deposits/rust on front rotors causing thickness variation and minor pedal pulsing on very light braking.
• Headlight covers have started to fade.
• Wheels have typical rash to expect from NJ roads, but otherwise in good shape.
Comes with:
• Koni Street Struts, off the car (I was going to install them over winter).

• Original space saver spare tire and plastic cover
• CPO Window sticker
• Original Alcantara steering wheel (in great condition)

Recent Maintenance/Repairs:
• All maintenance up to date including all fluids. “Old school fluids” change with oil every ~7k miles.
• Thermostat and coolant changed ~4 years ago. It's probably due in next 2 years for full overhaul (rad/exp tank, water pump). If I were to keep it, I'd do it in the spring time in prep for the hotter weather next year and piece of mind.
• Recent right front window motor regulator, including vapor barrier
• Michelin Pilot Sport PSS (~3k miles old)
• Rear light recall
• On its 3rd set of LCABs and 2nd set of LCAs (~10k miles old each)
• Full maintenance/service history from new (although prior owner report is a dealer printout summary).

I love the car. It’s the most balanced BMW I’ve ever owned in terms of practicality, driving feel and pleasure, size, handling. It really does everything well.
If you've been to autocrosses ~'09-'12 time frame I was #77. Car also has 1 driver school in October '13 under its belt.
Would prefer it goes to a local club member.
