Cons -
Driver rear window is not functional - motor dead, typical E34 issue. I'm lucky its only one window..
One rear lock motor is dead - I usually just leave it locked, rarely do people sit back there and when they do I just open/close it manually.
Couple dings and dents and scratches around the car. Don't expect a new car.
"Low Beam" error light because of HID bulb voltage is lower than standard halogen bulbs. Never cared, but there are write ups on how to delete this error code.
Will need replacement driver fender, No frame damage.

Car starts up every time. Never overheats, comfy, fast, looks good. Car handles great for a four door sedan, puts sports cars to shame especially with the suspension,brakes and six speed.

Smog will be buyers responsibility

4,500 FIRM

I did that with a e39.... Best decision in my life...

Bump for fellow 5 series owner and a clean car.

Thanks for the bumps guys,

If i don't get my asking price, I will most likely just keep the car. I have plans for a four door grip and drift monster.
