2003 BMW 330i Sedan – Loaded w/Options – Mystic Blue Metallic
Excellent Condition – 66K miles – $24,764
Includes BMW Extended Warranty and Maintenance for 100,000 miles (valid till April 2009)
Why am I getting rid of it? (This is the first question I would ask a seller:
simple, BMW’s new 335i came out, and I got one.)
You’ll have to excuse my enthusiasm in the descriptions below… I know everything
there is to know about this car, and I have explained that to many people over
the last 3 years. (I even have spreadsheets.)
HIGHLIGHTS
Extended warranty means you don't have to pay for any repairs till April 2009 / 100,000 miles! (BMW repairs are expensive.)
Deceptively fast for 225 HP, 214 lb-ft of torque (0-60 in 6.7 sec, top speed 155 MPH)
Incredible gas mileage for its speed (I have got 29.0 mpg @ 70.0 mph round-trip to Berkeley and San Francisco from Santa Clara)
Fantastic handling: acceleration, cornering, braking (all while keeping a very smooth ride)
More than 85% of max torque available from 1,500 rpm to 5,500 rpm (95% from 3,000 - 5,500 rpm)
No accidents of any kind; all services have been done on time
Loaded with intelligent options
Premium package (leather, auto-dimming mirrors, power seats with 3 memories for driver, 12-way adjustable front seats, power moonroof)
Sport package (17-inch wheels with sticky, fat tires – 225/45 in the front, 245/40 in the rear)
Automatic (5-speed with semi-automatic mode)– I’ll show you how to get the most out of this. There are several convenient features the manual doesn’t mention
Xenon high-intensity headlights with auto-leveling (so they don’t blind others) – see 33% further down the road
Premium Harmon Kardon audio system with 12 speakers (3 speakers in each front door, 2 in each rear door, and 2 subwoofers in the trunk!)
Heated seats (great for cold weather)
Fold-down rear seats (very rare but useful option)
Gray leather sport seats with brown wood trim (very classy)
Extremely tight 34.4 foot tuning radius (almost nothing on the road beats it – the new 3 Series is 36.1 feet in comparison, and a Mazda 6 is 38.7 feet!)
Park distance control (no need to turn your head back as you reverse – just use your mirrors and the beeps will tell you the rest)
No navigation (save $2000 and get an aftermarket GPS!)
Metallic paint (has lived most of its life under TWO coats of wax)
Solid German construction everywhere with great attention to detail
Great safety ratings and features (stability control, traction control, ABS)
Instantaneous MPG meter included in instrument panel so you can make sure you’re driving efficiently
Engine is exceptionally smooth – inline 6 configuration with no vibration,
fantastic sound and exhaust note. The engine was in Ward’s Top 10 Engines list in 2001, 2002, and 2003 (2.5 liter version won 2 International Engine of the Year awards in the 2.0 – 2.5 liter category)
Leather and carpets were just cleaned and conditioned
Includes spare key and valet key
Comes with all required paperwork
Never been modified (aside from upgraded
tires)
High-quality photos available to serious
parties
