The big bad points up front:
- This car has been in two collisions (one before I owned it, the other in August 2011) damaging the front driver-side corner. Neither accident totaled the car, only causing body & suspension damage that’s been repaired (accident thread with pictures here: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?4382). The accident when I owned it required the front–left corner being pulled/straightened (& resprayed).
- The paint has never been detailed / corrected / waxed / etc., except for the repair-related respray of the front corner. There are normal small scratches, nicks, dings, rock chips, etc. that are consistent with a seventeen-year-old daily driver. There is a scratch on the trunk from a partially opened garage door & a dent where (I presume) the previous owner pried off the trunk lip spoiler. The paint on the roof rack cover panels is starting to fade.

- Sunroof is inoperative. I suspect the right-side cable track broke/cracked: when trying to open to the vent position, the left rear side lifts up while the right doesn’t.
Less-serious negatives:
With the negatives out of the way, here are the reasons somebody (you?) would want my car:
- It’s a ZHP that runs & drives like one! She still pulls hard & handles corners like a Performance Package-equipped BMW should (suspension refreshed with all OE/OEM, stock-spec components at 130k mi).
- Non-cold-weather-package-equipped: no leaky headlight washers or rigidity-reducing pass-through rear seats
- Enthusiast-owned since 2007 & 45k miles
- It’s been maintained per Mike Miller’s Lifetime Maintenance Schedule (previously the “Old-School Maintenance Schedule”): oil changed every half-interval (every ~7,500 miles) with BMW 5W-30, 0W-30, or Mobil 1 0W-40 & Mann (OEM) filters, annual brake fluid flushes, biannual coolant flushes, etc..

- Zero rust (lived in the southwest for the past decade).
