I was hoping this day would never come, but alas, it's time to sell the best car I've ever owned. My Dad has had some health issues recently and has offered me his 6MT Eurospec E46 330XI, so the time is right.

Time is an important element here, as I must return to Boston with only 1 car (from Cinci where my parents live), so I have priced this car for a reasonably fast sale. I am a PhD Student in Boston, but grew up in Cincinnati.
________________________________________

For Sale: A 2000 BMW 323iT Sport Wagon. 5-speed manual short shift. TiAg Exterior Paint with Grey interior. 195,xxx.

I'm asking $3000, but am open to reasonable offers (KBB says this is worth $3,400--which does not account for the exclusivity of a RWD, 5MT, ZSP Touring). The right person can get a steal here.

This is a very rare 5-speed manual, sport package, rear-wheel drive wagon. I had to travel 2,000 miles to find this combination!

I have been the sole owner and operator of this car for the past 7 years. Minor repairs were done by myself, with major repairs being done at Enthusiast Auto in Cincinnati. The Car was originally sourced from Texas, and it has been garaged in Cinci, so rust is minimal.

As you can see from the photos, this car has been my chariot for wilderness adventures for the past 7 years. It offers the perfect combination of versatility, fuel economy, performance, and driving pleasure. I trust the new owner will enjoy it as much as I have.

Please see my Itrader ratings (On E46 fanatics) to confirm my credentials. I've been active on E46fanatics since 07 and have an excellent reputation. I am an honest, straight-forward seller; I'm willing to accommodate special requests, but no BS.

This car is far from perfect. But for the right person who knows how to turn a wrench, all the cars issues can be dealt with quite easily.

_____________________________

The GOOD:

-Extensive maintenance with OEM parts
-Newer transmission and clutch
-Oil changed every 3-5k miles (engine is very clean under valve cover)
-Overall body Paint is very good (other than front hood/ bumper); Car is waxed 3 times a year
-Interior Leather is in good condition
-Tires have good Tread

The BAD:

-Check Engine Light is on because of Headers (Never got around to getting software or 02 non-foulers)
-Seems to be an exhaust Leak from the Headers
-Paint on front bumper and front of hood is in poor condition
-Tint isn't perfect on rear window
-M3 steering wheel has lots of wear (as does shift knob)
-Noise coming from front brakes (probably needs new front pads)
-Airbag light is on (But this may be due to the recent BMW recall-- will be taking it into a dealer to be resolved)

___________________________________

Bottom Line: A very rare Manual, ZSP, rear-wheel drive BMW Wagon that's been extensively maintained and has been upgraded with "aggressively stock" parts. And at an unbeatable price.
