Other notes or comments about this used item:
Known Issues/Non-Working Items: HERE IS THE PROBLEM: We bought this car at an auction for a ride home....we know NOTHING about BMW'S but it seemed like a decent low mileage car that looked cool and ran good, so we bought it. Driving home the temp guage jumped around erratically and then pegged out with message center saying "check coolant/Temp"....we pulled over, checked coolant and it was full and warm, not boiling but warm. We had no heat. So after checking that stuff, we unplugged sensor, cleaned up connections and started home. That time the guage read half way like normal and we had good heat and no issues. Now, after driving on and off around home....SOMETIMES it all works properly, sometimes the guage jumps around erratically and sometimes it just is pegged out......I read online and checked with local garage and I am being told it could be thermostat, coolant temp sensor(s) or faulty guage.....none of which our local garage wants to do since it is a "German" car/BMW.....no one around here is a specialized BMW mechanic I guess. I am not taking a chance on someone screwing it up so here it is.....NO RESERVE and being sold with this issue! No visible signs of actual overheating; no water/oil mix, no white smoke when driving, no noticeable leaks or water loss, etc.......believed to be the above mentioned items but again, we are not BMW guys and have no real mechanical knowledge of these cars of the actual problem.....selling it as is, with these problems.
Clean and clear title.
Solid and straight car and car does run and drive like a smooth flying rocket!! Car is fast, smooth and powerful!! Shifts and handles great!!
