FS: 2005 330i ZHP

I have decided to sell my '05 330i with performance package. It is in superb condition with 13,700 miles. Some specifics are below:

Imola Red exterior
Alcantara cloth interior
6 speed Manual transmission
Performance Package
Cold weather package (Heated front seats, fold down rear seats with ski bag, headlight washers)
Bi-Xenon headlights
Black cube trim
Sunroof
H/K Audio
Automatic headlights

I had the X-Pel clear bra treatment installed two days after delivery-I picked the car up on a Friday afternoon, drove it home and parked it until Monday morning when the installers came. Because of this, there are no rock chips in the usual areas. This was $650 installed.

I have changed the oil myself at 5000 and 10,000 miles using BMW oil and filters bought from the dealer. I am not a believer in the 15k mile oil change interval! Tires are in excellent shape with barely noticeable wear on the rears. This car has not been driven hard and the condition of the tires prove it.

Overall, the car is in superb condition. There is one tiny rock speck on the hood, one chip in the windshield that can easily be fixed, and two very small paint scuffs at the very bottom/underside of the front bumper from a too-high parking lot curb (argh!!). However, they are not noticeable unless you bend down to look, but I can touch them up to where you will not be able to tell. The paint has been maintained with P21S polish and the P21S wax.

Asking $33,500.

You can e-mail me at egiles@c-gate.net with any questions.

Nope, no engine issues-knock on wood!! Original motor still going strong at 147k miles, and I replaced the rod bearings just a few thousand miles ago just to be safe.

As with any E30 M3, it's the little things that are killing me. I am 'this close' to having all of the issues worked out, but these last few things are really taking a while.

I will say this-A/C work freaking sucks. I will NEVER do A/C work again-I will gladly open the checkbook for the dealer and let them have at it. Yes, it sucks that bad.
