I bought this car a few months ago from a private dealer in Huntington Beach, California for $16,200 cash (approx) and have the paperwork to back it up. I have put a lot of money into it since because I took the winter off and needed something to occupy my time. I am about to go back to Germany for a bit, so there is no need for this to sit when someone else can enjoy it.
I have the pink-slip in my name, no money is owed on this car. The registration is paid and current.
The specs of the car are as follows;
2004 525i
Inline 6
88,XXX miles
Silver Grey (A08)
Black Interior
Add ons;
20" Ace Executive rims with one month old Nitto 555 tires (staggered)
RPI filter and scoop (from Trinity Autosports)
LED Angels Eyes (from Trinity Autosports)
OEM BMW LED License Plate Light Complete Assemblies NOT just the bulbs (no errors)
LCI Tail lights with Bruce's V5 plug-and-play cables
3 LED side signals (from Trinity Autosports (awesome looking)
OEM BMW Euro reflectors in the rear bumper
Recent complete 4-wheel alignment
New Battery
New Spark Plugs
New wiper blades, haha.
This car has;
Bluetooth Hands Free Calling
Sport Package
Premium Package
Automatic transmission (6 speed)
OEM Navigation Professional (retrofit) includes OEM 2008 Nav DVD
Adaptive headlights (xenon) (move when you turn the steering wheel, SUPER cool)
I have changed the oil twice since purchase (always synthetic), I have put over 4,000 miles on this car since purchase and have not had one single issue.
The brake pads are new, rotors are fine, but you might want to replace them when the pads are due.
All the coolant hoses are new and were installed by Crevier BMW (I have the paperwork).
I have all the stock parts I took off to upgrade and will include them in the sale price. This also includes stock 17" rims (2 tires brand new, 2 at about 70%)
The price? $17,000. This seems like a pretty good deal to me because a lot of money went into this car.
The price is FRIM because I am not selling this to make a profit, only to move on to something else fun to fix up.
For serious buyers, I will let you test drive this car for as long as you like. I will make sure the car is cold when you get here (if I can help it, I drive it daily) so you know the exact condition of the engine and transmission is fine.
This car needs nothing.
Feel free to have your mechanic check/inspect this car.
It's late and I do not have pictures of the car to post at this moment, and I will be in LA tomorrow during the day - but as soon as I am home I will post lots of pictures detailing what I have described here.

I most likely will not be parting out the mods, easiest for me to just sell the whole car.
If I do decide to part with anything, I will for sure post it here.

nice car man very clean!! GL with sale!
Thanks! The dealer I traded it into today thought so as well.
Guess I am no longer eligible to post on this board, I got a 2007 S550.
So I guess this thread should say - SOLD!!
