Exterior:
The exterior of this BMW looks absolutely beautiful. It could very well be the original paint, but one can’t be certain. If not originally, it’s clearly definitely a very high-quality paint from several years ago. The body condition is virtually flawless with perfect door and hood gaps and is arrow straight down the sides with no signs of previous damage. The top is beautiful and doesn't need reconditioning, and same goes for the headliner which is in good shape. The front hood, rear deck lid and the rest of the paint are in excellent condition with minor imperfections from stone chips and the like here and there as expected. Interior:
The interior is useable. The interior is in good shape and will need to have new padding installed, other than that, it’s in pretty good condition, including the stitching which hold nicely. The dash is outstandingly great condition with there is zero discoloration or cracking or warping. The seats are nearly perfect as well, other than the padding, which is unavoidable with the BMW seats. Once again, very minor, especially considering its age. The rear seats, rear deck lid area, door panels, carpeting, and headliner are all in excellent condition. Radio is the original Blaupunkt style, which is yet another good sign that this BMW is a well preserved original example since the radio wasn't updated. Mechanicals:
Runs and drives very well! Shifts flawlessly and runs well because it has been properly maintained and pampered through the years. It has been gone through and to the best of the mechanic’s knowledge and my knowledge of what is knowable by a BMW specialist accustomed to these cars, this car needs nothing to make it a better mechanically or more reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country tomorrow. It simply fires up perfectly every time and never misses a beat. Just a really fun and reliable sports car experience while getting thumbs up along the way! By the way, lights, blinkers, horn work. Everything works. Payment:
