Someone check this car out SOON?? Please?! (Franklin, NC)

It does look amazing in white. :

I'm trying to plan a family hike in Franklin so we can check out this car for you. You said the guy wouldn't be back until the 4th (Friday) right?

Wow Brenan, that car is beautiful. That is actually my #2 color option, Orient Blue, so sexy... And natural brown with black cube too (the best combo IMHO). It does not have NAV or the cold weather package (I know what you're thinking... WTF do I need cold weather in South Florida for?!?! I use the heated seats sometimes, and I have to have fold down rear seats!) though, so I'm still going to keep the AW car in NC as my #1. Thanks for posting though.

Ryan- Ok, I don't want to inconvenience you too much. If you can't make it, I completely understand. I actually spoke to the owner last night and he said they'll be back in town a day early, but I don't see myself having my insurance payout until the end of the week at the absolute earliest. Probably not until Monday or so realistically. So, don't feel the need to rush TOO bad. I was hoping someone could look at the car this weekend or early next week. I will probably fly up late next week if all is satisfactory.

Thank you to EVERYONE... You guys have all been so supportive and helpful with all of this.

Sapphire Black for the slam dunk

There is a low mile sapphire black sedan down here... To be honest, I've found myself looking at the Craigslist ad quite a few times... I would love to say that I think sapphire black is a beautiful color, but the only time I've seen one, it was filthy!

Damn that Orient Blue and tan looks incredible. Well I am a bit biased to the Orient blue but that tan interior is really nice. Damn, now I want to change out my grey leather interior for that brown. Good luck with the search, you will find something, for sure.

You know deep down inside you want Jet Black Jon.

Glad you (hopefully) found a new one so soon. GL!

Yeah man, I really liked the natural brown in my car. You will have a much harder time converting grey leather to the natural brown as you'll have to swap everything... Going from alcantara or black leather only requires one to swap the door cards and seats...

If I remember correctly I believe that 2003 cars don't have fold down seats, mine doesn't.

Part of the CW package. Mine do.

I apologize for creating a whole new thread when we have a thread dedicated to this, but I need to grab everyone's attention. I know Ryan is in the area, and she has offered to help, but she also mentioned being very busy.

So, if anyone is local and willing to take a look at the details, please let me know... I am basically 100% on this car assuming there are no pending/unforeseen issues.

So, if anyone can look at the car I would be greatly appreciative.

Please call or text if you're able to help... 561-758-2532

Jupiter, I just sent you a text. I live in Asheville. I wonder if this is a BMW CCA member, as I'm the area CCA coordinator. Franklin is about about 75 miles away. I have 1 member that lives there. I'd be happy to drive out tomorrow & look it over if you want. I could possible get my local BMW independent tech do a pre purchase inspection. He's on vacation right now but I might be able to talk him into it. Just let me know if you want me to drive over & kick the tires. BTW, I'm very familiar with the E46, as well as the E30, E36, E34, E38 & E39's having owned them all and doing most all my own maintenance
