**_Just looked at my statement, only owe $4772. I’ll eat the $72 if someone takes it out of here_**

**Triple black 1997 BMW 328i convertible 5 speed 144,000 miles**  
**$4700 firm**

**_The good:_  
\*New top  
\*New metal water pump  
\*New OEM radiator(BEHR) and hoses  
\*New rear trailing arm bushings  
\*New e-brake hardware and pads  
\*New Bilstein springs, struts and shocks all around(only fronts installed)  
\*1 winter(this one)**

**_The bad:_  
\*Right quarter-panel damage  
\*Interior door panels falling off  
\*Drivers window works when it wants  
 _Needs OBC_  
\*Convertible-top front seal leaks sometimes  
\*Clutch 100% gone, must be towed**

**_Included with this car:_  
\*Set of 15" ‘bottle-cap’ wheels w/snows (installed)  
\*OEM exhaust (loud, obnoxious one installed)  
\*‘Projector’ style corner markers(smoked installed)  
\*Polk 10" sub and Kenwood 150w amp (installed)  
\*Alpine CD/mp3 disc head unit (installed)**

\*OBC: _On Board Computer_. Displays information about lights out, low fluid levels and such. This is NOT the ECU.

I can no longer maintain this car and it needs to go. I owe $5500 on the loan and thats what I will sell the car for. I can’t afford yet another paper-weight in my driveway, especially one I have a monthly bill for.

These are the only pictures I have, I’ll take more when the rain stops. Rear 1/4 damage happened after these pictures. Blacked-out corner markers are gone. Sub in picture has been replaced with a Polk sub.

I can’t believe I forgot to post the mileage, now I have to go edit 3 other forums, 144k. It’s raining right now so I can’t take any pictures of the damage but I sideswiped a guard rail, it hit right where the door ends and went to the fender flare. I fell asleep at the wheel a few weeks ago.

The clutch started slipping a few days ago and today it finally quit on my way home from work. I barely made it home.

I’ve already had an offer run by me to do it but currently I don’t have the money nor do I care to spend it on a car I don’t want anymore. I’ve been regretting purchasing this car for quite some time now and any single penny I spend on it makes me think about what I could have done to my Corolla.

_edit_ speaking of which, time to change this sig pic…
