I am selling the car after owning it for a year. The car spent its entire life in the Pacific Northwest but I just relocated from Seattle to Cincinnati for work in May 2017. During my ownership, the car has spent its entire life in secure parking garages, and also where it is currently sitting. The car just came off warranty on 4/17/17 and has not given me any problems in my year of ownership. I am selling the car because my commute to work is now a 3 minute walk. Thus, I am looking to get something less practical and reliable since I no longer need a daily driver

I want to be fully transparent with the history of the car. I bought the car from Elliott Bay Auto in Seattle, Washington in May 2016. Before buying the car, I was concerned because the Carfax showed a very small incident in which the front bumper was refinished. However upon checking out the car, the work was impeccable and it received a 9.8/10 on the ProView report that came with the car.

In January 2017, I took on some minor rock damage on a trip through Northern California. I took the vehicle to a BMW-certified bodyshop in Seattle for repairs. BMW Seattle does not have an in-house bodyshop so this was the shop they recommend. They refinished the front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, new grills, and a brand new OEM windscreen (with HUD). At the same time, I also upgraded to the Depo headlights which are leaps and bounds better than the OEM halogens. The car now has basically a brand new front-end and as you can see from the pictures, the paint work is top notch. Some may consider this over-sharing but I appreciate full transparency when buying/selling vehicles.

I can accommodate a PPI if desired. Also happy to meet at the airport if someone needs to fly in and drive it back. The closest airport would be Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky CVG.

What It Needs:
Minor ding right in front of fuel door – can be seen in a picture below. Most would not notice it but I’m rather picky and wanted to call this out.
Center console hexagon trim has a scrape.
I just detailed the car last weekend which included a clay-bar on the entire car and Menzerna Polymer Power Lock to seal the paint. I also detailed the interior (shampooed the floormats, cleaned leather with Chemical Guys leather cleaner, Einszett cockpit cleaner, etc.)

Attached are the Carfax from when I bought the car as well as the Proview report.

Cheers,
Riku

Steering Wheel is in great shape - still matte!


Here is a picture of the scratch mentioned in the first post:

I received the request so figured I would include pictures of the stone damage here. Here is what the bodyshop submitted to my insurance company. The one spot on the hood was the worst of it. As you can see it wasn't a major incident, just enough to warrant some fresh paint on the front end.

Nice car! question about the depot headlights, did you need to Code? would you sell?

Sigh.... if this was manual I'd buy it

Beautiful car. I'm very interested but I'm in San Diego and would probably rather test drive the car before buying it :/

Sorry for the late responses! I must have forgotten to get subscribe to my own thread so I didn't get any notifications of posts here...

Thanks! No coding required - headlights stay with the car, as well as the OEM halogens. Buyer can decide what to do with them.

This is one of the reasons I bought the e36M :-) Although driving the F30 occasionally I am reminded just how great the ZF 8-speed really is.

Totally get it. I'm happy to get a PPI done in case you want to ship the car...or fly and drive home :-)

I would buy this off of you in a heart beat if I didn't have 5 months left on my lease. Good luck with the move brother, hope someone snatches this before you have to load it up.
