2001 BMW 5-Series 525it TOURING Description

THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this 2001 BMW 525i Touring with rare 5 speed manual transmission!
Finished in silver metallic over black leather hides this 525it wagon has been driven just over 181,000 miles since new. It sports a great running 184 horsepower 2.5 liter inline six cylinder engine mated to the rare and desirable 5 speed manual transmission with stopping power provided by four wheel disc brakes with anti-lock [ABS]. This Touring features electric windows and sunroof, cruise control, cold weather package with heated electric leather seats AND heated steering wheel, factory audio system cargo cover and 16" alloy wheels with good rubber. This is a nice find here for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a new, quickly depreciating 5 series BMW.PLEASE ALSO NOTE:I have several other cool BMWs available currently from my personal collection. 1998 540i 6 speed with custom "ART CAR" hood, 1998 740il with custom 6 speed manual transmission, 2005 645ci with 6 speed manual transmission, 2000 540i 6 speed, 2001 740il and others. I am open to package deal purchase on two or more!

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in GOOD99.99% RUST-FREE DRY ORIGINAL CONDITION THROUGHOUT! The paint finish has a nice overall shine with some minor nicks, scratches and other cosmetic blemishes. Overall this is one still VERY presentable and nice looking wagon.

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this semi-classic BMW is inGOOD ORIGINALconditionoverall. All of the gauges and controls work as they should with cold a/c, hot heat, working electric windows and sunroof and audio system. There is some light wear and tear as one would expect of a 16 year-old vehicle.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This five and a quarter wagon starts perfectly with excellent running, very smooth engine, nice shifting manual transmission with good clutch feel, solid braking, smooth and responsive steering and nice handling. There is a noticeable wheel shimmy at highway speeds and the rear suspension is a bit stiff over sharp bumps.
