And Yes I know it's spelled "Bimmer". Not sure why though 
It's a Black 2000 328Ci w/ sports package and tan leather interior. It appears to be in great condition. The only minor setback is it has 103k. Some of you can chime in, but doesn't the front end look modified? maybe cleared out markers and the light housing seems blacked out. I think it looks good, but I'm pretty sure that's not stock.
Anyways what do you guys think? I know Dave (FT) knows quite a bit about bmw engines that's why I'm not too worried about the 103K (no f'n way would I take it to a dealership to get it serviced or checked out)

Maybe I can get them knock the price down because its not "stock". I doubt it though.
