History:

The first owner bought the car in California in October 2004 and drove it till 49k miles. The second owner was a forum member who purchased the car in November 2008. During his ownership, the following items were taken care of:

• Waterpump
• Alternator
• Battery
• Alternator bracket gasket
• Both upper timing cover gaskets
• Both valve cover gaskets
• Vacuum pump seal
• Spark plugs
• Front control arm bushings
• Recall done on the vacuum pump line to brake booster and master cylinder replaced by the dealer
• New SMG Pump
• Fresh Transmission fluid
• Fresh Brake fluid
• Fresh Differential fluid

I am the third owner and purchased the car in May 2013 with 98k miles on it. I opted for a pre-purchase inspection at a highly regarded independent shop vs a BMW dealer as their inspection process was more thorough. The car received a clean bill of health and every issue was addressed in the hands of a ex BMW master mechanic with brand new BMW parts. A couple leaks were admittedly very small and could be fixed at a later date but I was keen on receiving a car that was a 100% and thus no expense was spared. On asking him for his unbiased opinion on the car post inspection, his words were "you would be hard pressed to find another example with this age/miles that is in such great shape". I am listing down the work below:

• Replaced timing cover gasket.
• Replaced thermostat and coolant.
• Replaced transmission fluid tank, added fluid.
• Replaced lower oil pan gasket.

In addition, the following items have been taken care of in the last 12 months:

• Oil change
• Brand new CiC system
• New battery + registration
• Replaced passenger side seat mat (BMW recall)

The Present:

As it stands today, the car is in great shape mechanically and cosmetically. All recalls have been taken care of. All electronics, devices, switches, knobs, buttons, instruments and gauges work as they should. There are no missing or broken buttons or levers. The brakes and tires are good for at least another 15,000 - 20,000 miles. It still turns heads wherever it goes and drives like a dream. The SMG transmission is very fast and pairs up well with the v8. The car has a few tasteful upgrades which in my opinion give the car an OEM+ look. No racing, no smoking, no pets, no eating and drinking in the car, no driving in the snow and always garaged. Overall, this is a turnkey car which I would not hesitate to drive anywhere across the country.


The "Not So Perfect Things":

I would like to be fully transparent and list down all known imperfections.

• Two wheels have minor curb rash
• Small 2" scratch on driver door
• Tiny paint chips on the front bumper and hood from regular driving
• Tiny scratches around window regulators and door handles and the ignition lock

Reason for Sale:

While this car was purchased with the thought of keeping it long term and thus maintained with no expenses spared, my move this summer to the West Coast is causing this sale. I don't anticipate driving more than once a month from my downtown location and would prefer to sell the car to someone who would enjoy driving it more often.


Price:

Considering its factory options, modifications, the extensive maintenance history and overall condition, I have priced it at $15,995.


Photo Disclaimer:

I have included a couple pictures taken by the previous owner for his sale ad and I believe the car has not changed in appearance since then.


Additional Notes:

• If you would like to have the car inspected prior to inspection, I would be willing to drop it off to a nearby location of your choice. Of course, the cost of the inspection will be on you.
• Test drives will be allowed only to serious buyers.
• Additional items that can be included at the right price - BMW rubber mats, paint matched replica M5 spoiler

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. Thanks for looking.

Beautiful example of a clean well maintained E60! GLWS OP!

Any chance you would part out the Miro's?

 

Thanks man. Not parting out at this time, would rather keep the car as-is in case it doesn't sell soon.
