    1999 BMW 528i 5 Speed Manual Black 183k - Boston, MA

    For sale is my 1999 BMW 528i 5 Speed Manual with 183k miles. This was originally a South Carolina car purchased in August 2015 with 159k miles. Being a southern car there is little/no rust on the undercarriage and I have had mechanics tell me it is very easy to work on due to that. I have had the work done on the car to keep it driving strong and smooth (details below). There's been a lot of love given to this car; I've enjoyed driving it both in town and on long trips. I'm looking for a buyer who will continue to drive and maintain it. Reason for selling is that my job will involve a lot more traveling this year and I'd rather the car be driven. I'm not in a rush to sell but I will accept a fair market offer. Cash, Bank Check or Wire Preferred. Clean title in hand. I am frequently in the South End and JP areas of Boston; you are encouraged to come see the car, but please do not come to test drive if you cannot drive stick.

    Features:
    2.8 Liter In-line 6 cylinder engine with VANOS
    --Frequently getting around 30mpg highway
    5 speed manual transmission
    Black paint + Dark window tint
    Tan/wood Interior
    OEM German BBS Style 5 Wheels
    Recent Hankook Ventus V12 Sport Tires
    Hard to find OEM DSP Head Unit and Speakers
    --Pixels in good condition
    Sunroof
    Owners Manual

    Work within the last 2.5 years includes:
    New OEM clutch
    New throw out bearing
    Machine-shop Refinished flywheel
    New Sachs Front struts and Lemforder control arms (OEM)
    New Tie Rods
    New rear suspension bushings
    New Guibo
    New Drive Shaft Center Support Bearing
    New ABS module and speed sensor (no more ABS/Stability trifecta)
    New OEM Coolant Thermostat
    New CCVV
    New motor mounts
    New exhaust gaskets
    Cooling system repair and pressure test
    Regular, on time oil changes
    New secondary air pump and lines
    New OEM Water Pump
    Power steering leak addressed
    New rear brake lines
    Brake fluid flush
    Brake rotors and pads
    New battery
    Front door sills
    Infamous front "seat twist" addressed
    New front window regulator
    Key fob buttons and remote locking system repair
    Trunk wiring loom repair
    Hard to find, correct OEM DSP Head Unit and Speakers installed
    New front cup holders
    Rear cup holder delete
    **New Radiator and hood struts, which were replaced by the previous owner

    Also included in the sale:
    New front seat trim (current drivers side is cracked)
    Passenger front window regulator (current one is functional but has been making noise, a common failure point on these cars so I bought an extra one preemptively)
    Assorted tools that I won't need

    Notes, areas that need improvement I am aware of:
    There is a coolant thermostat fault, which functions fine but is throwing a code.
    Rear windows are not working. Simple to replace the regulators, I just never got around to it.
    Rear trunk struts could be replaced.
    Some interior parts could be replaced for aesthetics, but are functional.
    Sunroof does not close all the way without pushing the finger lock down. I've heard this is an easy fix but it has never bothered me.

    Looking for $2,100, negotiable especially for forum members.

    With the new OEM coolant thermostat throwing a code, do you think it was installed improperly?
