Car History:
The car is an original CA car. It was purchased in Berkeley, CA at Weatherford BMW. The original owner then took the car to Dinan in Mt View CA where the S3 package was installed on the car at 3600 miles. The car then moved down to San Diego with the 2nd owner where it stayed for about 70,000 miles. The 3rd owner purchased the car while living in Texas and the car was shipped out to Texas. The 3rd owner then moved to St. Louis and brought the car with him. Once in St Louis, he did not drive the car much at all, let alone in the winter and it shows. The car is completely rust free as you would expect from a n original CA car. The car was in St Louis approximately 1 year when I purchased it and brought it back home to CA.

Current Condition:
Currently, the car is in excellent condition. There are no outstanding maintenance items, this is a turn key car. If I was going to keep the car the next item on my list would be to perform preventative maintenance on the brakes by replacing the rotors and pads. Currently, the brakes are in fine condition but I would rather replace them before they get to the point of requiring replacement. That is simply how I like to maintain my cars.

There are two notable scratches on the car. One on the bottom side of the driver side side view mirror. The other on the driverside rear quarter panel. See the pictures for full details.

The interior is in absolutely spectacular condition. It is very clean. Both vaders have intact bolsters with the drive side showing slightly more wear than the passenger side, as you would expect. However, the are no rips, tears or other material failures in either the driver side or passenger side bolsters.
