2004 BMW 5-Series 530i Description

Hello and thank you for looking at my auction. My name is Joe and I sell vehicles differently than most dealers. Buying your next car or truck through one of my NO RESERVE auctions is the best way to take the games out of your next automotive purchase. I personally road test each vehicle before it is offered for sale so I can give you my first hand opinion of how it runs and drives. Please keep in mind that I am not a mechanic. Each vehicle is represented accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability. Please take the time to check out each of the pictures and read this entire written description, as well as our Terms & Conditions, carefully BEFORE asking questions or placing a bid as most answers can be found in at least one of those places. An administrative fee of $149 will be added to the final bid of each auction. Up for a NO RESERVE auction is a 2004 BMW 530i with just 141k original miles. I would rate the exterior of this BMW to be in ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION for it's age and mileage. As you can see, this is a good looking sedan. She is finished in black over black sport interior with tinted windows. The black finish shines nicely for it's age and looks smooth from front to back. As with any older vehicle, please expect a few flaws and imperfections commensurate with age and mileage. The worst I can say about this car is that the finish is a little faded at spots on the trunk. Not back for an older vehicle. The body lines are nice and straight. The hood, doors and trunk all open and close easily. All of the glass and lenses are intact. The factory alloy wheels show well and are wrapped in nice rubber with average tread all around. Please take your time and check out each of the photos carefully. I would also rate the interior of this BMW to be in AVERAGE CONDITION for it's age and mileage. The door cards are clean. The carpets are clean and full looking throughout the interior. The dash and headliner are clean, too. Both front seats are power operated and work properly. The deeply bolstered leather sport seats are comfortable and show no excessive wear. The power windows, locks, seats, mirrors and sunroof all work properly. The audio system is original and sounds good. The knob is worn off...but most people just use the steering wheel controls, anyway...so no biggie there. The climate control system is fully automatic and appears to be working properly. The heater works well and the air conditioner blows ICE COLD AIR, too. The trunk is spacious and clean. Again, please take your time and check out each of the photos carefully to see how clean this 530i came in. Mechanically, this BMW appears to be in good running and driving condition. The big 3.0L inline six cylinder engine starts easily and runs smoothly. I didn't notice any leaks and the engine does not smoke. As with any older vehicle, please expect some seals to seep, etc...as is normal. The suspension feels tight and well sorted. Steering and braking feel good, too. Occasionally, the "active steering" warning comes on. I haven't actually experienced any issues. The display just tells you to restart the car to reset the system so I'm guessing there is a faulty sensor somewhere. Again, I have not experienced any actual issues connected to this. The engine feels strong and is smooth. There is always plenty of power on tap. She hits the road nice and straight. The automatic transmission engages smoothly and shifts normally with zero issues. Out on the highway, she drives nice and straight with absolutely no complaints. This 530i has a current PA safety and emissions inspection good through the end of June, 2018. If you're looking for a nice, solid driver, this 2004 530i deserves your careful consideration. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
