Default 1997 318ti 5-speed, Sport, California top

I have a black one with about 94k miles. I'm selling it because I just bought a Club Sport. I currently use it to commute to work, 400 miles a week. It only broke down on me once when the idle control unit (that's what the mechanic called it) failed and the engine would shut off if the throttle wasn't applied. That's been replaced this past August and I haven't had a problem since. Everything seems to work in the car. Both power mirrors, locks, alarms, and the California roof all work. No popped speakers with an aftermarket cd player.

This car was in a small fender bender that never got reported because it wasn't in the carfax report when I checked. The bumper and the grill took some minor damage. No parts seems to have been replaced and the fog lights work fine. Just a small dent the size of a hockey puck around the left kidney grill. Also, when I take left turns hard and with the weight of the car transferred to the front left suspension, it makes this grinding noise. Metal to metal maybe. While tossing around the car, I had my steering wheel shake on me and another time, this peice of metal cover fell off. My mechanic said it was the stabilizer cover. It's been welded back on, but the problem still appears to be there though.

$4,500

The only picture I have, I'm taking more tomorrow.

Car should be available for inspection sometime next week.
