What’s special about this listing

Clean, reliable, and fun BMW 1 series ready to drive today. Favorite car I've ever owned! In excellent condition with just 96,000 miles. One of BMW's most underrated models naturally aspirated inline-6, hydraulic steering, and classic coupe proportions. A true driver's car that's becoming harder to find unmodified and well-cared-for.

All Original, No Mods or Abuse never raced, never slammed, female owned, never smoked in
Just 96,000 Miles Very low for its age - was a secondary care for a long time not the daily driver
Well Maintained regular oil changes and services, any issues tackled immediately never delayed, same mechanic since purchased also a BMW enthusiast
Fender benders only - California car, kept clean minor fender benders, no body or chassis damage
Strong & Smooth N52 Engine 3.0L inline-6, one of BMW's most reliable engines
Steptronic Automatic w/ Manual Mode smooth shifts, fun to drive
Sporty Coupe Body Style compact, balanced, and rare compared to the 3-series
Cold A/C, hot heat and heat warmers everything works. Leather seats in great shape, one small tear on drivers.

Recent Maintenance
Fresh synthetic oil change (last month)
Brakes and fluids serviced within last year
Smog check passed

Past maintenance
proactively fix known BMW problematic oil seals while under warranty a couple of years ago
Oil pressure switch replaced 2 years ago

this car is ready to go!

Recently looked over by my mechanic pre listing. Also an interested buyer had a pre purchase inspection with their mechanic that gave it the all clear but mentioned the possible need to replace the rack shocks sometime soon but not urgent. Priced accordingly to account for the need for new tires. Purchased from very reputable car dealership IMX in Burbank 6 years ago.

Priced to sell quickly. Lowball offers will be ignored. If you know these cars, you know this is a solid deal to account for the need for tires coming up soon
