Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Myydään BMW E91 325i -05, 6-vaihteisella manuaalivaihteistolla. Harvinaisempi tummanvihreä tief grün metallic väri. Moottori N52B25. Auto on ollut työmatkakäytössä itselläni 3,5 vuotta ja koskaan ei ole ollut mitään ongelmia. Autossa on taka apurunko ruostunut ja poikki yhdestä kohdasta eli se on vaihdettava. Auto on kuitenkin ihan ajokuntoinen, ajoaikaa 17.8.26 asti. Päästömittaus tehty valmiiksi 24.7.26 ja kaikki oli kunnossa sen osalta, lappu mukana.

Autoon on vaihdettu 60tkm sisään:

  • kaikki jarrulevyt ja palat
  • peräöljyt
  • etuiskarit ja Eibach madallusjouset eteen ja taakse (muutoskatsastettu), madallus 30mm luokkaa. Pystyy hyvin ajamaan talvellakin.
  • 1-2 jarrusatulaa ja pyöränlaakeria
  • ABS anturi taakse oikealle
  • narinahelat
  • venttiilikopan tiiviste
  • öljynsuodattimen jalan ja lämmönvaihtimen tiivisteet
Öljyt ja suodatin sekä sytytystulpat vaihdettu 6tkm sitten Ilmastointi toimii ja puhaltaa kylmää Kesärenkaat 18" vanteilla, takarenkailla ajettu alle 4tkm eli lähes uudenveroiset, eturenkaissa vielä hyvin pintaa. Talvirenkaat 16" vanteilla, hyväkuntoisilla nastarenkailla. Radion näytössä katoaa pixelit kun se lämpenee (yleinen vika näissä). Ei ole haitannut itseäni. Kuskin penkki revennyt hieman sivusta, ommeltu siististi. Hieman ruostetta takaluukun alareunassa ja takakaarissa. Varusteina m.m. peruutustutka, vakionopeudensäädin, sporttipenkit, angel eyes parkkivalot, esiin vedettävä koiraverkko Yhteydenotot ensisijaisesti nettiauto-viestillä. Voin tarvittaessa lähettää lisää kuvia. NOTE! The rear subframe is broken and needs to be replaced. The car can be driven but will not pass the yearly inspection.
