Basic service.oil change tune-up..I have all service records. I bought this car from another civ back in Oct 2011. I am going back to the states and wish I could take the car with me. BMW M, also known as M-Technik or just "M" (for Motorsport) was initially created to facilitate BMW’s racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicles portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring (http://de.mg6.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/N%C3%BCrburgring) racing circuit in Germany.


I only put about 8,000 km = 4900 miles on it since I had it. She runs like a champ. Easy on gas. I fill up and it usually lasts me 2 weeks. I use Super. The interior is clean and no rust at all on exterior. The guy who had it before took real good care of it as did I. She handles wonderfully. Wait till you test drive it !!!
Tires are in real good condition. I really believe I'm "giving' it away at that price ($4000.oo USD). I paid a lot more. If I wasn't leaving I would NOT be selling.

You can call me at 0162 51 66948 should you have any other questions. I work at the Registry on Sembach and a co-worker who works here (she has been in Germany since she was 19) who is into BMW's (she's owned 3 now) told me back then I got a real good deal/good car. Euro Spec 5-spd..

How many KM? How many KW/PS (HP)?

Nice. You think the fuel lasts when I drive to southern France and back home over the weekend?

I doubt this is an M3. Guess it`s an 318 with an "M-Paket" (=imposter)

Depends where...I have gone to Wessenbourg and back from Sembach area on 1/2 tank...I would say, and I never really kept precise record, the car getaround 29-30 mpg on highway and around 25-27 around town.... I travel back & forth from my work (Sembach) to Winnweiller which is about 15 miles round trip and I fill up and lasts me 2 weeks. Of course I'm not going to southern France on the weekend !!! Depends also on your driving habits.

Hm.

So now it has 388 000 km?

What about the clutch, brakes, muffler, exhaust manifold? How many scratches and dents? Pre owners had been how old? Male or female? Driven by nuns or pubescent folks? Chassis, shock absorbers, drive shafts? Full service history?
