Just saw this looking around on eBay, seems like a pretty fantastic deal. I have no relation to this item, just saw it and figured I would post it up for anyone looking. You could likely offer like $4900 and get this for under $5K.

Wow I think you’re right. I ran the vin through carfax and it came up as 325i and I ran an '03 325xi and it came up as 325xi. My dad has an '01 325xi, if I was home I would check his door label. ---

I just got $4200 for my 96’ 328is with 180k. BMW are one of a few brands that KBB is kinda meaningless…BMW are much more desirable than KBB thinks. 😉 ---

Probably need some maintenance, looks like factory cooling system still, probably stock clutch as well. Otherwise 135K miles… price might be a little low, but I don’t see anyone flipping this for profit. Would make a nice WNY daily. ---

i still don’t understand why someone would want a BMW X car. I’ve heard that their AWD system sucks…and your awd bmw isn’t going to get through much more snow than a 2wd bmw with snow tires. ---

I’ve heard that their AWD system sucks…and your awd bmw isn’t going to get through much more snow than a 2wd bmw with snow tires. A bmw x with snows will handle fairly well in the snow and still retain some what of that rwd feel in better weather. ---

Their AWD is just like the rest of their cars- sets the bar in their class. XDrive can transfer up to 100% torque to either the front or rear axles to maximize traction. And yes, snow tires allow damn near every car to be driven in snowy conditions. ---

I wouldn’t say it sets the bar…the quattro system is pretty damned good. It really depends on its purpose, quattro will out handle in the winter Xdrive will win on the track. ---
