Item Interest

Looking for my dream car, so I'm being kinda picky. Ideally I'm looking for a 330i, but am also interested in 328s and will consider 325s. Definitely no 335s! Manual transmission is a hard requirement, as are the sports and premium packages and nav system. Additional goodies would be nice, but please, no mods unless they are for improved mechanical functioning. One owner would be nice, but as long the car has been very well maintained, has had all regularly scheduled maintenance and has all records I'm happy. My preferred exterior colors are, in descending order of interest:

Jet Black
Black Sapphire Metallic
Monaco Blue Metallic
Deep Green Metallic
Sparkling Graphite Metallic

And for the interior:

Beige
Sand
Terra

Looking to stay under $12,500, and can pay to have it shipped after inspection by a mechanic.

Lol Im curious...why bother with the sport package and manual if you're not looking for a 335? Seems pretty pointless

I'd prefer not to deal with the fuel pump issues. If I were more mechanically inclined, and ready to spend more time tinkering, I'd consider it. Hoping to have a few years of low maintenance before sinking more money into the car. And as far as sport package & stick are concerned... come on, a 330 is still fun! I couldn't drive anything without a stick anymore, and I want the best handling car I can get within my means. If it was purely for fun, I'd be looking at an M-series, but I think this is the best balance between fun, practical, and comfortable. What can I say, I'm getting older...

I'm looking for a similar vehicle. Not worth it without the sport package. The comfort seats are hard as a rock and so uncomfortable. I like the autos, but I haven't had a chance to drive the 6 speed yet. I'm going to be looking at one friday. But the 6 speeds are harder to find so it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me if the car was an automatic. I just want a solid DD car which is also why I am not opting for a 335i. Without a warranty, they're money pits.

good luck with the search OP
