FS/FT: 1997 BMW 528i MODS LOW MILES! (CA)

For Sale: Low Miles! Runs Perfect!

Up for sale is my much loved 1997 BMW 528iA. The car has 104,xxx miles, which is extremely low for an 11 year old car. That averages under 10k miles a year. I am the third owner of the car, and have only owned it since February. This has been my second BMW and after driving this car, I will never go back! Exterior of the car is in excellent condition, no rust, and only VERY minor scratches (scratches are only in clear coat). There is one spot on the trunk where the clear coat is chipping a little and one spot on the rear bumper with a very minor dent. I would rate the exterior a 9/10 and the interior an 7/10. I have done some minor modifications/upgrades on the car during the period that I’ve owned it.

Here is a list of upgrades:

Staggered 18” MRR GT1 Wheels in Black/Polished Lip
20% Tinted Windows all around with lifetime warranty
Depo P39 Headlights w/ Chromium Angel Eyes and 6000k HIDs
Hartge Catback Muffler
M-Tech Wide M5 Grills
Fully upgraded sound system w/ Alpine and JL Audio head unit, speakers, subs, amps and wiring (negotiable if you want it as well, otherwise not included)
Dynamatted trunk and rear deck
DDM M5 Rep Polypropalene front bumper

Asking $10,500 OBO (negotiable)

I think it would be better if you sold it privately then bought a Mini. I think you will be hard pressed to find someone to part with there mini for an old 5 series. Especially with that many miles. Best of Luck with the sale. Beautiful BMW though. Try the Beamer Fourms

Actually for a BMW like that 100K is low. My best friend works at BMW. Says the average at his shop is around 250K. Lots of old BMW owners in El Paso, a lot of them are very wealthy Mexicans from Juarez.

hippie, how many miles and what year is your car? do the math! 105,000 divided by 11.5 is 9,130 miles a year.
