I have the free and clear title.
The car is located in the OC/Seal Beach, near the OC/LA county border in sunny California.
The car has always been a So. Cal. car, so no rust. Also, it's never been smoked in.
I've already purchased an EV, so it's time I let my baby go.
If you're interested, or have some questions, or would like to see more pictures either PM me here, or email me sealbeach740@yahoo.com

At 92K miles?
No, not yet. I think it's got about 60K miles to go before that will be an issue.
The new, updated timing chain tensioner has been installed though.
Thanks for asking.

Thanks. Everyone's definition of "all maintenance done" is different. Need to convince my wife we need to take a trip down to her old stomping grounds in OC to check these cars out!

While it's not really warm out here, I'd bet the weather is a tad warmer than what you're going thru in Chicago!

BTW, I just purchased his immaculate Oxford Green 740i for my collection (he was nice enough to track me down, knowing I wanted one!), and you simply couldn't ask for a better person to buy from!

Haha, it's already been passed on I'm afraid... Wife decided to keep her X1 (and car payment). So I had a friend here on the forums buy it for his brother to replace an aging Jeep Cherokee. Easy come, easy go I guess!

Well, at least you've spread the BMW fever to another potential enthusiast.
