I have kept meticulous maintenance records throughout the time I have owned the car. I have also done many repairs that are common problems with the car as preventative maintenance.

I have receipts for all except the ones with *. I have some service records from Japan, but I don’t know what they say… From looking at the car I can see that the DK Motors and the F/R Struts have been replaced (also common problems that always need to be replaced eventually).

*Upper/Lower Control Arm Bushings in Front/Rear
*Centre Link in Steering Assembly
(These were done by my brother, who owned the car before me but doesn’t keep receipts…)

Re: FS: BMW 850i $9,000!!!

Car was originally purchase in Japan by my brother in January of 2006. Arrived in June, 2006 but he didn’t drive it and stored it until November, 2006. I purchased the car in November, 2006 and used it as my second vehicle from spring until fall of 2007 when I sold my other car and started driving this full time. Spring of 2008 I bought a new STI and this hasn't moved since other then test drives by a few kids. The car was originally imported with about 78,000 km and the majority of the miles since have been on the highway during trips (Vancouver/Seattle/Calgary, etc).

Good point, I copied it out of a long email...

Edit: It looks like someone already fixed it for me. Thanks!

New Price.
$8,500!!!

Car was inspected last week by Bettchers Auto at the request of a potential buyer. They said overall mechanical condition was excellent. There is a minor oil leak. The brake pads are about 50%. The car has a rough idle but they didn't have the correct equipment to read the car's computer so they were unable to diagnose the problem. I can only presume it is the same as Eurasia told me, intake temp. sensor, but they couldn't confirm that.

Hopefully I should have a copy of the inspection ready with the car, but it depends if the last person who paid for it gives me a copy.

Congrats on the sale. This is a very nice car and went far cheaper then it should have gone for.

Re: FS: BMW 850i $9,000!!!

Glad to see it sold. I saw it for sale on Beyond a while ago. If I was in the market for this kind of car I would have called you up. (I asked the wife a while ago and she shot me down fast)
