FS: 1997 328i 5spd Jet Black/Tan

[M328i]

I am selling my 1997 BMW 328i 5spd Its Jet Black with tan leather interior

It has almost 109K miles on it and I am the original owner of the car.

The car is fully loaded with exception of heated seats, the car has the optional sports package, which comes with sport seats and the 5 double spoke 16" wheels which have recently been covered with new BFGoodrich g-force Radial T/A KDW 2's all the way around about 2 months ago. The car also has the Harmon Kardon premium sound system, i installed Subs, but have remeoved them, the line out convertor is still installed if you wish to add subs to the car again.

The car is in very good shape, I just recently put in a UUC Sachs M5 Clutch along with the blue aluminum UUC Lightweight flywheel, this was done at 101K miles.

The car had a 7 year / 100K mile extended warantee, and during that time has always been taken to the local dealership here in dallas (John Roberts BMW now called BMW of Dallas) and inbetween the oil change lights I have changed the oil with Mobil 1 full synthetic myself about every 5K miles or so.

The car also comes with a ECIS Cold air intake, and the original intake as well is in my garage, in a box.

At about 86k miles I changed the rotors for Cross-Drilled Brembo Rotors, and put on Hawk Performance pads all the way around.

Here is one image, of my car that was taken about 6 months ago, I plan to wash my car this weekend and post more images, the front plate, the subs, and the Radar are not included, and the stickers in the back window have been removed

I am looking for about $8,600 OBO

Please feel free to ask any questions

I'll be interested in the car in about two weeks, which is probably when my Pathfinder sells.

I'm serious too or I wouldn't be wasting yours and my time writing this post. http://smiliesftw.com/x/robottx1.gif

What has been replaced?

You say it's sitting on the original suspension, does that include RSMs, RTABs, LCABs, BJs, etc?

What in the cooling system has been replaced?

I see you've replaced the clutch, etc.

What else has been replaced/repaired of note?

Has it ever been in an accident?

The radiator was replaced right before the extended warranty expired, this was a little over 2 years ago.

The brake system has been upgraded, 4 brembo cross-drilled rotors, and hawk performance pads

The clutch and flywheel were upgraded at 99kmiles, UUC Sachs M5 clutch and Lightweight aluminum flywheel.

And other basic things change at the dealership for basic Inspection I's and Inspection II's, from what I can remember of the top of my head, the On-Board display under the A/C was replaced b/c some pixels died and the clock when out, the Secondary air pump has been replaced as well as the corresponding valve and vacuum hose that go with it.

I recently put brand new Z rated tires I mentioned in the 1st post.

The car has no been in any major accident, it was in a small fender bender, but the body was repaired and looks like it was new, there is one small dent in the front driver side fender above the wheel, its visible in the picture of the tire, the dent is about 2 inches long and not deep at all, i was turning into my garage, the space is tight back there and have to maneuver a lot to fit in there, and i rubbed up against the corner where the garage opening, its not very visible, and there is a small quarter sized dent in the front bumper, it is also visible in a picture i posted, its hard to see, you have too look for it.

And basic things such as the battery has been replaced every few years, the car is well taken car of ,and drives very smoothly and looks great. I've always loved this car, and have taken good care of it over the years.

[M328i]

Actually i forgot to post the picture of the front of the car, its right here, again the car is very dirty and looks a lot better after its had a wash... The paint on the hood is flawless, and there are very very very few rock chips in the car

Your car is in better shape than I thought it was. :) I'm liking it more and more...;)

I've got a hell of a decision to make and a lot of it is dependent on who buys my car and when.

I'm gonna shoot you an email tomorrow once I get my side of the equation sorted out.

One last question? Where on the body was the fender-bender and what panels have been replaced? Will the car make an 800 mile drive back home?

Thanks!

[M328i]

The fender bender was on the rear passenger side of the car, if you look at the pictures, the lines on the car are perfect and you can not tell that there was even the slightest bit of damage, oh yeah it can make it 800 miles not problem, Its my daily driver and its very reliable, an 800 mile road trip sounds like fun!

Hell yeah dude!

I'll keep in touch, it's basically your car or the Dakar one. I'm so torn. :(

I'll keep in touch via email, check it and check it often (just like Wilford Brimley says) tomorrow, because that's when I find out who's buying my car.

Thanks a bunch!

[M328i]

[Morontron]

Hey, very clean 328.
I'm looking more for a coupe but yours seems like you've taken excellent care of it. I only have $5k cash right now but I'm listing things on eBay so I should have around $7k not too long from now. Would $7,000 be too low?

[BrentNClemson]

I'm looking to buy as soon as possible, but your asking price is a little higher than I'd like to spend. Still, a very nice car and I'm definitely interested in talking. Send me a message or email ( brentn at clemson dot edu) ... thanks!

[BrentNClemson]

Still interested, let me know...thanks!
