I finally have time for the write up on my new to me 2004 TiAg 300i.
My WTB thread outlined what I was looking for; major preventative maintence done, somewhere below 120k, and accident free.
Reference thread: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...ileage-lt-120k
A FS thread popped up on e46fan & bmwcca that met my requirements. The Lynchburg Va zhp had 122k with vanos, disa, and coolant overhauls all completed. Beyond that the regular maintenance was completed and fairly well documented (will return to add full history).
The previous owner "nfrye" on bimmerforum has a great rep and is the Lynchburg bmwcca chapter leader. After a few phone conversations I felt comfortable making the 5 hr drive just to look at this car. My brother and I made the drive in a e36 328ci. Needless to say the car checked out well through a full inspection and test drive. $12k cash later I was driving home. I was eventually back home (after 36hrs no sleep, still worth it) and Immediately gave her a bath that took 23 hrs!
Pictures to be added once I'm on a computer.
