2002 BMW 5-Series 525i Description

This car has been a passion of mine for 6+ years now. I love tinkering and this car has kept me busy with just that, and fun driving cross-country many times. I personally put on over 100k miles on the car. Selling because I can't work on cars any more; high blood pressure meds cause my joints to ache.
There is SOOOO much positive going on with the car, and when you come to view it, I'll be honest on what needs attention. But it is 100% drivable to what ever city/state you want to visit. AC is freezing cold. Great tires, suspension updated. Navigation was a $750 add-on a few years ago and it includes multimedia including playing games, DVD's etc.
Mechanically, I've maintained the car VERY VERY VERY well. See below for extensive list of maintenance.
Other upgrades include a cup holder for up front. Stock ones were known to not work well and break.
LED lighting inside and out. Angel eyes and license plate use CREE LED lighting (expensive).
New mats front and rear.
