2004 Imola Sedan 6MT- 151k miles- Boston, MA- $9,200

[squashman702]

Strongly considering selling my ZHP, want to get into something with a little more power. I have an excel sheet documenting what I have for receipts that I can send to any interested parties.

Car:
-ZHP package, Leather, HK system (business CD, no nav), Xenon’s, 6MT, 163xxx miles, sunroof, silver cube trim. Have original window sticker and a book of receipts from myself and previous owners. One of around 800 built like this for 2004.
-I believe I am the 4th owner (I do have an Autocheck report), car started its life in FL, then CT for a bit, then NJ. Car wasn’t driven in the winters according to the PO. I bought in November 2014 with 127xxx on it. Next to no rust on the car, underside is super clean. I thoroughly enjoy the car, it’s been ultra reliable, just would like something that’s a little more of a toy.

Modifications:
-Rogue Engineering underdrive pulleys, correct length Continental belt
-Jim Conforti Shark Injector tune
-AFe Stage 1 intake
-35% tint all around
-BMW short shift kit with new weighted ZHP knob
-Flat black kidneys
-Lighting upgrades included smoke R/C/R tails, clear corners and side markers, and a Xenon retrofit with TFX projectors and angel eyes from Lightwerkz ($615 for headlights alone).
-BMW rough road plates for front strut towers
-DForce LTW 17x8.5 wheels, 16 pounds a wheel, brand new Sumitomo HTR ZIII tires on them in 245/40R17 flavor.

Maintenance:
By previous owners:
-Belt/tensioner in 2009
-Water pump in 2009, new expansion tank in 2010
-Valve cover gasket in 2010
-Trans and diff fluid serviced in 2010
-Various suspension bushings replaced
-VANOS repair done with Beisan kit in 2010
-DISA valve replaced, O2 sensors, fuel filter, replaced in 2011
-New rear tires 2013
By myself:
-Post purchase inspection by German Performance Services, Allston, MA in November 2014. Issues noted were valve cover gasket leak, dampness around rear differential seals and oil filter housing gasket, undertray cover missing, radiator hose should be replaced after VCG done as a precautionary measure, front grill not secured in bumper correctly. Rear subframe inspected and found no issues, cooling system examined, no issues with suspension or clutch- car was taken for thorough test drive by shop owner.
-Mobil 1 0W-40 and Mann filter every 7500 miles
-Cabin air filter
-NGK plugs
-Both front wheel bearings, dust caps, seals replaced
-Idler pulley
-Power steering flush
-Reverse light switch
-Trans fluid replaced with synthetic Redline MTF
-Differential fluid replaced synthetic Redline gear oil
-Brake fluid flushed and system bled, Pentosin Super DOT4 fluid
-A/C tensioner replaced, new Continental A/C belt
-Oil filter housing gasket and valve cover gasket just replaced
-CCV replaced with OEM cold weather parts
-Upper and lower intake boots replaced
-Water pump replaced, BMW coolant used
-Idler pulley replaced
-Valve cover gasket replaced (BMW parts)


Issues:
-Under tray engine cover is missing
-Front bumper has two cracks along bottom edge, front grill is not secured correctly and needs a repaint.
-Rock chips on bumper/hood/A pillars- probably due for a respray on at least these panels
-Minor wear on the outside bolsters of both front seats, no tears and leather is in good shape otherwise.
-Suspension appears to be OEM and I do not have any records for struts being done, probably due for a replacement, but there are no clunks/strange noises/etc.
-One ding on rear D/S fender arch- body is straight otherwise. Could probably be pulled by a PDR tech.
-Car was just lightly rear ended, bumper has some chipped paint and small dings from the other car's license plate bolts, no other damage to the car.

Needs:
-First stages of rust on D/S A pillar right along windshield seam. Should be repaired soon, probably should be worked in with a respray of the front end.
-Valve cover gasket (OEM BMW will be included if I don't fix it before sale)

Uninstalled extras available for additional cost:

-OEM style 135's with bad tires
-General Altimax snows on 17x8 wheels
-BMW roof rack cross bars
-Various new suspension bushings, stock lights, etc




These pictures are from 10/11/2015- AFTER the accident occurred. Damage is very minor.




$8200 on LTW's, $7500 if you bring your own wheels!

And just curious, what car are you looking to get into?

[squashman702]

There's a couple on CL that I've been eyeing. No real plans at the moment. Probably going to pick up a 4x4 as a beater for short term.

I should clarify that this car was driven last winter, but as mentioned, did not see a lot of winter time on the road according to the PO prior to my ownership.

Sounds like a reasonable price. GLWS.

Are you trying to pick up a second Imola?

[squashman702]

Thanks guys, valve cover gasket is done, finishing up the ofhg, and it'll have fresh M1 and a new Mann filter in it as well.
