Here is the link. I know its a salvage title and am in the process to see what the reason was (totaled, stolen, flood, ect..) Its a very attractive price that brings a red flag to my "too good to be true' thoughts..

What do you guys think..

VIN: WBADN6333XGM62384 (anyone have an unlimited carfax accnt?)

Doesn't look all that great to me. I just picked up a 2001 540i 6speed (150k miles) for 9k. It is fully loaded, including navigation. 1 owner, new clutch, new suspension and an extra set of winter rims/tires. The car looks excellent and drives like new. The one in the link doesn't give me the warm fuzzies....

Thanks,

Actually it's the "downgraded" grille found on the earlier e39 version painted black

that car looks like it was beaten on... hard.


:lol3 @ the steering wheel cover

I think the steering wheel cover is AC Schitzer though.

Wheels look beat, the cluster and radio pixels are almost done for, steering wheel buttons are beat, the interior looks sub-par... almost like someone shat themselves 1-too many times.

Pass and keep looking.

wow that thing is a pile. Not only is it at some shady-ass dealer (that means the head gasket is blown for sure) but it's been ebay'd out to the fullest. "Full ACS body kit"?? Where? I'm surprised it doesn't have the chrome flame stickers around the emblem on the trunk. Speaking of the trunk, HOLY EFFING ORANGEPEEL.

offer them $500 for it.

Check it out too they snapped the "thumb" parts off of the front cup holders, they're just claws now.

No floor mats
Dirty interior
Worn steering wheel buttons
Dash pixels out
Curb rash
Chrome pos head lights

Stay away
