E53 - 2006 4.8iS - Imola/Black

[unloadedak]

It is time to let go of my 2006 E53 4.8is. I have owned it since August 2017 and took over with 80,xxx miles. I do not drive it nearly enough to justify keeping it around. I originally purchased it to relieve my E46 M3 from daily driver duty and both were relieved with a company truck that I have driven daily since March 2018.

This is a very fine unmodified example of the (IMO) best color available in the best model available. I spent several months looking for the perfect imola chassis to go alongside my imola M3. This was the lowest mileage one that had a black interior without the ugly fake wood trim. Hours after finding it on AutoTrader I booked a flight to Denver. Just several days later I was driving back to Nebraska without a hiccup. Although, after only putting on a couple hundred miles at home it had a leaking PF air bag. So I put much more money and effort than I would have liked to before even registering it… I’m known to have a case of the ‘while you’re in theres’.

I can vouch for the seller - he goes above and beyond and is very particular about his cars. Buyer will not be disappointed!
