MAKE AN OFFER - I found another vehicle that I would love to buy quickly so would be willing to entertain anything within reason. Worst I can do is say no. Price dropped!
----
Black 2008 Pre-LCI RWD 3-Series wagon.
Purchased by me in March 2021, I’ve since then done a considerable amount of maintenance to keep it mechanically sound, along with some discreet & minor modifications for it to be more visually appealing and road-going.
Selling now because I miss driving
stick shift and have found one that I want to buy…
Consider the below to be “OEM Plus” upgrades.
- Staggered Style 162 18” wheels
- Burger Motorsport wheel spacers: 10mm front, 20mm rear
- Factory electric sport seats from same generation E90
- 3-Spoke Sport steering wheel from same generation E90
- 30% window tint
- Blacked-out trim & OEM exhaust tips
Car is 98% all there including rear cargo cover and pet divider screen
Some details & Specs:
Base package / rear-wheel drive
Black leatherette, Steptronic 6-speed automatic
3.0l Normally Aspirated N52 in-line 6 cyl
Standard panoramic moonroof in working order, no leaks
Pet-free, smoke-free interior with no stains or odors
Both key fobs included, both working
Maintenance highlights since my ownership in March 2021 in the last 4 years. All performed at Weatherford BMW or the good guys at Moran Motosport in Berkeley:
New Starter, 2024
Inspection 2
New radiator
Front brake pads / discs / sensors
Front lower control arms replaced
Recall service:
Blower motor wiring
PCV valve heater
Modified fog light switch for rear fog light illumination (see photo)
Amazon-sourced black-out kidney grille, fender-mounted side marker LEDs (have the original clear non-LED, will include)
Tires have plenty of tread
More detailed service from previous owners’ records & Carfax that came with the car in March 2021; and more detailed and/or interior photos for serious inquirers. I have a log of all repairs and parts and all receipts for work done under my ownership + the Carfax mentioned above. Original glove box manuals included.
Ok, now for full transparency and disclosure:
Non-critical dash lights:
- Airbag / Seatbelt
- Passenger Side A-pillar airbag error, CC ID-97
- Passenger safety belt
Resulting from not disconnecting the battery before installing the sport seats - Can be cleared with some work and investigation or can be left as-is without consequence
- TPMS; Receiving module is not active/needs replacement. But also I never bothered to ask/check whether the Style 162’s came with sensors at the time I purchased them used. I ignore it but periodically check my tire pressure manually.
For Full Transparency:
- Minor, light rear-end accident under the previous owner, per Carfax. The title is CLEAN (and in my name).
Other:
- Rear driver door does not open/unlock from outside, but does from the inside
- Oil pan gasket leaks
- Various small dings and light rubs - Car has not been garaged under my ownership until recently; Semi-poorly filled in a few chips and scratches with touch-up paint on front / rear bumpers
- Clear coat peeling in small 6” area below tailgate glass
- Front passenger door handle wrapped in Cinelli bicycle handlebar tape
- Dime sized spider crack on windshield has not grown since 2021
- Crack on plastic shroud on the valve cover
- Each wheel has minor curb rash
- Exterior 7.5/10
- Interior is about 7.5/10
Thule rack / trays NOT included (or add $400 to the price)
Clean Title in my name + current registration, will SMOG without issues
- Two oil changes at any BMW dealership included with purchase transferable to new owner
