I got your car.

I have owned the car just a few months. I bought the car because of the great condition it was in. It drives great and looks even better. There are a few scratches on the truck (I should be able to buff them out just haven't got around to it yet) and one that needs more attention on the back quarter panel. I am the third owner of the car. A woman in Maryland owned it for the first 100,000 miles and it was adult driven. She didn't have all the records on it when she sold it to the guy I bought it from. It has recently been tuned up with plugs and all the majors. As soon as I got it I took it to the local BMW Dealership. I paid them $200 to go over the entire car and tell me every little thing they could possibly find and they came back with 2 things.
1. It needs a PCV plate because the car is pulling to much vacuum from the crankcase - said that was a $540 repair but i opted not to get that done since the part if $50 and it doesn't effect the way the car drives.
2. They told me was it needed a lower oil pan gasket. To do that they need to drain all the oil replace the $10 gasket. I just had the oil changed and didn't wanna pay for another oil change just for a small ting - was planning on just getting it replaced next time I needed the oil changed. It leaks about 2 drops on my garage floor per week (wouldn't call it a "leaker" by any means).
The car is in perfect shape besides those 2 minor things. These 2 minor things would not be a problem to drive the car anywhere. The other things they mentioned was that the battery may need replaced in the next year or so and that the ball joints in the rear will need replaced in the next few years.
All these things are minor things and that is why I am not asking $16,000 like these cars sell for. I have the car listed locally for $13,500. I am getting desperate to sell the car as my wife wants a sunroom on our house and this is our third car.

The other thing that is a common problem on this model car is the Cluster matrix (there are some pixels out). If your not familiar with what I am talking about I can explain - it is just the lights on the radio and doesn't effect the car whatsoever - you can still see what station your on and everything.

I have many pictures of the car.
