Item Interest

I have a company vehicle and I don't drive the E90 much anymore - it's become a weekend toy, having only clocked about 3500 miles in the past year.

All recalls have been completed, including the latest PCV recall.


Quick details:

• Build date: 4Aug2005
• Jet Black exterior w/Terra Dakota leather
• Brushed aluminum trim
• Manual transmission
• Sport package
• Premium package
• Current mileage: 122,100 (and is driven very occasionally so this will not go up much)
• 2 keys plus spare/valet key
• All owners manual booklets in OEM pouch

History of the car:
I bought it in June 2016 with 95,000 miles. I have all maintenance records/receipts from original delivery until current.


Condition:
It's in very good shape overall. It has been garaged since I've owned it, and rarely is outside when not driven. There are quite a few items replaced/upgraded over the past two years:

• new OEM style 162 wheels, staggered (all have zero curb rash)
• Michelin PS4S from Discount Tire w/warranty, lifetime balance/rotation (less than 500 miles)
• OEM suspension bushings (front & rear)
• OEM strut bearings

• OEM alternator
• OEM DTML pump

• OEM Coolant bleeder valve and cap
• OE oil cap gasket
• OEM valve cover gasket kit

• OE eccentric shaft sensor and gasket
• OEM oil filter housing gasket
• OEM PS reservoir cap/gasket

Used items but in better condition than original parts:

• OEM carpeted floor mats

• OEM brake handle and boot

Upgrades:

• OEM style 162 full size spare w/E60 jack, foam insert, tools, all placed in Tire Tote

Reconditioned items:

• repainted original front bumper (due to road rash during prior ownership)
• replaced fog light housings (prior road rash)
• refinished original headlights (prior road rash)
• bumper/headlights/fog lights covered w/XPEL protection after reconditioning
• XPEL window tint (70% IIRC?...it's nearly clear)
• All XPEL products installed at XPEL HQ here in San Antonio

Items coded w/iCarly:

• Euro emergency flashers enabled
• 5x blinker lane change enabled
• panic/emergency brake flash enabled
• disabled seatbelt chime
• disabled auto door locking
• folding mirrors when locking
• remote-activated all windows up/down

Car is cleaned regularly with products from Autogeek:

• Leatherique cleaner and conditioner
• 303 aerospace protectant
• Sonix wheel cleaner
• Optimium No Wash car soap
• Klasse All-In-One & Klasse Sealant
• 100% carnuba wax
• Girots Garage detail spray
• microfiber towels, mitts, etc

Negatives:

Exterior:
The car was a daily driver, so the paint is not showroom perfect. The paint does have a few minor swirls and a very few tiny rock chips on the hood from previous ownership. That being said, the car has been taken care of and garaged its entire life, and it shows. If I keep it, I do plan on having a 2-stage paint correction done later this year.

Interior:
The interior is in excellent shape, with only very minor noticeable wear on the drivers seat bolster and door armrest. The driver's door pull has the normal peeling, although it's minimal. All other door handles appear to have escaped the peeling issues.

Mechanical:
On the last oil change, I noticed a very light oil weeping on the rear passenger side of the oil pan; I checked the torque specs on all bolts, and found three of them slightly loose and tightened to spec. I did a visual check a month later, and the oil pan was no longer weeping. I have not replaced the brake rotors or pads since I've owned the car, but they are visually in good shape.

For an optional take on the sale:
*I have all the original parts. If you'd rather have OEM versus Euro bits, I could reinstall any/all original parts.

Let me know if you'd like more info.

Thanks,
George

Thanks for the kind words.

The N52 w/manual transmission in the 330i is a special combo.

Sad to see it go, but it's going to a great home.
