    Error can't find e61

    Not sure what it is, but I have a hard time finding the car. Anything from holding off from a 2008 m-sport 68k miles, losing a craigslist bid to a guy in Houston, I offered $1500 more than his neighbor, being too slow on hitting the buy it now button on eBay, another one sold as I was calling about it, and last night. Boy thought I hit jackpot, turns out the dealer's owners car was accidentally put up online for sale.
    Being limited with time due to work and sketchy people, I have not been able to get a car. Searching the forums and boy are there many! It can become quite overwhelming. Hoping you guys would be able to help me find one.

    I'm not looking to get a car over 125k miles or beige/tan interiors. Okay with brown, peanut butter, gray, black.

    Prefer the sports steering wheel, comfort seats with memory, and CiC.

    BONUS: M-SPORT package or parts (such as bumpers) and MANUAL.

    MUST KNOW the service history. I've had people say it's been serviced by BMW all it's life, but carfax shows 3 service records and 5 owners. Favorite was a guy giving me $15k worth of service records, but engine bay had oil everywhere. Service records for
    1) Turbos
    2) HPFP
    3) LPFP
    4) oil pan gasket
    5) charge pipe
    6) belts
    7) oil filter housing gasket
    8) valve cover gasket
    9) walnut blast.
    10) Injectors, coils or spark plugs recently serviced?

    Due work, I can't be online every minute running new searches. Feel free to contact me 312-459-sixtysix7O

    Got lucky finding my '10 LCI 535xi E61 M sport manual. Put alot money into regular maintenance and unexpected items, but its THE best highway/daily car ever....other than gas mileage especially now with the built turbos/motor. Have a list of people wanting to buy it when I sell it. Good luck with your search, you'll need it!

    Also, if anyone has a M sport E61, is considering selling it, and the OP is no longer interested....please PM me.

    I'd go for the M Sport 6-speed. The '08 seems like a much worse deal, especially given that it needs turbos.
    10/12 E89 Z4 sDrive35i: Alpine White/Coral Red, 6MT, ZMP
    12/01 E39 M5: TiAg/full black leather, Supersprint mufflers + x-pipe, SSK
    04/95 E38 750iL: Jet Black/black, M Parallels, Shadowline, x-pipe and muffler delete
