Additional Info:
I absolutely hate to depart with this car, but I promised myself I would sell it after 1 ½ years of pure enjoyment.
I love driving this car and I can attest to its reputed handling and performance. It is equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission (you are in control of the shifting), has traction control, and adjustable steering for your comfort. The audio system is unbelievable, the iDrive is simple to operate, and the full leather sports seats will adjust to accommodate the most demanding driver. The car runs and drives like it’s brand new. It’s under full BMW warranty, and since it is under full warranty now you can buy an extended warranty for less.
It has not been smoked in, is garaged kept and in perfect condition. The interior is immaculate and shows no signs of wear.
I have everything that came with the car, including booklets, warranty information, 2 keys, etc. All services have been performed by BMW and I have all service records. The title is clean.
