    Alpine White III over Parchment
    Car is a base model with the dealer installed CD changer

    I bought the car from the original owner that lived in Mountain View, CA. He moved to NC to get a new job and the car ended up at a dealer lot as trade in. I was looking for one of these cars in the typical price range. But this one was special and I got a steal of a deal. The car came equipped with a Dinan stage 1 Powerdyne supercharger kit, Dinan stage 1 suspension with Koni's, and Borbet 17's with 235 and 255 tires. And Dinan exhaust tips. It had 105,000 miles.
    The car is in excellent condition. Never wrecked and I have yet to find any signs of corrosion. (Cali's weather must be nice) I think it was garaged its whole life. It has been serviced with only BMW parts and at BMW dealerships and Dinan's Mountain View facility. I'm very please to have found such a nice BMW. Its obvious the car was never driven hard because it still has all the original suspension(other than struts) and clutch. All of which I will be replacing soon.
