REVscene Automotive Forum - FS - Mint 2000 BMW 328ci coupe

Up for sale is this pristine and gorgeous 2000 BMW 328ci.

The car is classic silver on black leather with a 5 speed transmission.

She has just shy of 130000 fastidiously maintained km's and drives like a new car! If you've not had the pleasure of owning a BMW, and wonder why all the critics, magazines, enthusiasts and 'car guys' love the 3 series BMW, drive one and you'll know why. I have had 3 - starting with a base mid 90's 318is and was hooked from that car on.

Powered by the classic, super-smooth and silky 2.8L inline 6, she develops 192 hp and will propel these to 60 in the mid 6 second range - all while getting 500-550 km's per tank city, which equates to around 24 mpg. Highway will yeild upwards of 750 km's!

The car has had no serious accidents or claims - a break in and window replacement - and that's it. The paint is gorgeous and still presents as new and the interior is in exceptional condition. From what I can discern, never smoked in.

All maintenace has been taken care of to date and the car needs nothing, other than a new home. The previous owner used Brian Jessel Autohaus on Boundary, and I opted to go thru Nixon in Burnaby. In case you are wondering, these are very reliable cars, but when time comes for service or repair, they really aren't anything I would deem exotic or expensive at all! Trick is to use one of the aforementioned shops and you will actually be on happily surprised.

Although not fully loaded, this is the sport version of the 3 series so the emphasis is more to the perfomance end of things, than luxury (fake wood console, etc....) - with a slightly lower suspension than base models as well as a sport suspension to enhance handling. The previous owner also added H & R progressive rate springs to further drop the car about an inch all around. She has a perfect, aggressive stance but the ride comfort is still retained and there is absolutely no squeaks or rattles in the structure. These cars are legendary for a reason.

Other than a few cosmetic enhancements, the car is stock and not 'hopped up' or modded. Owned by an adult (of 41) - I am meticulous about maintenance and baby the car. Hand washed and chamois dried weekly and parked underground always.

The tweaks she does come with are -
-Beyern (BMW specific) 18" rims mounted on Hankook Ultra Hi-performance snow tires
-all amber lighting replaced by white lensed units
-Momo leather shift knob
-H & R lowering springs
-M3 white faced guage cluster

And of course, factory options, which are -
-leather/leatherette interior appointments
-Harman Kardon 8 speaker CD sound system
-moonroof
-tilt/telescope steering
-steering wheel mounted radio controls and cruise functions
-front and rear airbags
-Dynamic Stability Control (DSC - defeatable, if desired)
-Xenon headlights
-climate control (A/C)
-power and 1 touch up/down windows
-split fold-down rear seating with ski pass-thru
-keyless entry/factory security system

I'm probably forgetting a few things, suffice to say, the car is very well equipped and everything works exactly as it should.

I am selling the car to help fund my purchase of my first home so I am looking for a sale soon, and will entertain offers. I am asking $11500, which I think is fair, considering the history, mileage, condition and add-ons. I will not discuss any offers over the phone or online however - you must see and drive the car before we discuss the bottom line. Lo-ballers will be ignored. You will not find a nicer example of this car and I know you will not be dissappointed.

I can be reached at (604)809-7604 and live in south Vancouver.
