This is a perfect driver. Well maintained with a seemingly storied past. The Carfax and other documentation do not line up necessarily. The car was sold on Bring-a-Trailer in November 2018. At that time the Carfax read that the car had a “minor accident.” After that sale, Carfax added another accident saying that the car had “frame damage” prior to the car ever being sold on Bring-a-Trailer. The couple I bought the car from owned it for a couple of years and bought it from Weaver Motorsports in Indianapolis and didn’t know of the Carfax change. I will include the Carfax I pulled prior to me buying it and the Bring-a-trailer ad Carfax. You will see they don’t line up. The title is CLEAN (there is a small lien on the car).

I bought the car site unseen in June 2021 and was disappointed in it’s cosmetic condition but actually very pleased with it’s mechanical condition. I believe that everything listed above was done. The car is super stout. Car starts, idles, runs, and drives great. The AC & Heat both work awesome. All electronics, buttons, and screens work as they should. We have gone through the car a few times and it’s in good driver condition. I've include pictures in the folder below of most of the cosmetic issues.

Things I’ve done cosmetically included new clips for dash trim, new (used) BMW M shifter boot & knob, super aggressive detail and carpet cleaning as well as leather reconditioning.

The exterior is the weak point, from 20 feet it looks fine. Once you get closer you’ll find lots of dings, scratches, swirl marks and some painting fading specifically on the roof. I believe a good paint correction can fix most of it. 2 of the 4 Wheels have curb rash but the wheels seem straight and true. There is a weird metal noise coming from the right rear tire on acceleration only that I believe to be something with the wheel weight maybe being loosing, there is no weird vibrations associated with it.

I am only considering selling it as I also own a F15 X5, 997 911, E30 325i, and MB GLC300 and I need to thin the herd a bit.

I have owned many M cars including a 2011 E90 that I sold on Bimmerpost in June 2019. I do really love this platform but I just don’t have room for it. This is an excellent driver and will be a great car for someone.
