Your price is getting closer to what I need it to be but i live in S.E. Pennsylvania (US) and I wonder
about the shipping costs to flatbed that baby down here.
You stated that you replaced the "timing belt tensioner" but what about the timing belt itself?

Hello, the belt was replaced by the P.O. at 170,000km. The tensioner was making noise so I replaced it with INA unit. Car runs perfect, A/C blowing cold, still drive it on occasion.Mr. Detail wrote: ↑14 May 2018, 10:47 Your price is getting closer to what I need it to be but i live in S.E.

Anyone know of a flatbed service that I would use for shipping this car? My wife doesn't want me to drive across my own state border let alone to Canada.

Thanks, it is, I will miss it but I love the handling of my 3 series so its gets little use now, but the Volvo seats and comfort is supreme. I can't believe how much more roomy and comfortable the Volvo is, I prefer it for long straight highway drives. Its also faster than my 3 series once the turbo kicks in, but the throttle response and power delivery of the BMW is so linear and always available.
Price drop $2300, I want it sold before July so I don't have to renew my plate. Valid e-test, needs nothing for certification.

No rust, the body was sprayed, and waxed regularly. The only reason I'm selling it is because I bought a newer car which I drive more. It is fast and drives smoothly. Full maintenance records available. Comes with winter tires and rims. It passed emissions last year and the test is still valid. It should pass safety as well, tires have 1-2 years left and front and rear brakes are new.
