AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER of this well cared for 1997 BMW 528i (E39) with only 110,000 miles.  Vehicle is in good condition with few minor flaws but nothing too serious.  The vehicle has been regularly maintained. The car has Cruise Control, Fog lights, Variable Intermittent Wipers, Factory AM/FM/CD, A/C, Power Windows, Power Locks, Power Seats, Heated Front Seats, Heated Steering Wheel, Power Sunroof, Audio Controls on SteeringWheel, 60/40 Split Rear Seat, and more. The Exterior of the car is BMW Alpine White. There are few dings (see picture) but overall it's in good shape.  The paint finish looks good. The rear bumper has couple of areas where the paint is cracked (see pictures) and the front bumper has scratched/painted area (see picture). The interior is in good condition.  The carpet is in good shape, as are the  black leather seats except for one small puncture in the leather of the rear seat (see picture).  The power functions (windows, seats, sunroof, etc) all work.  The gauges and instrumentation all work. The original stereo (including cassette player and  trunk-mounted CD) works.  The A/C and heat, as well as the heated seats and heated steering wheel, all work.  The alarm was disconnected years ago so am not sure if it works. The steering is tight and the ride is solid. The transmission shifts well and the muffler is quiet.  The check engine light recently came on but the engine sounds fine.I have one full function key (which needs new battery) and valet key.  Intermittently the seat belt needs to be giggled so that the seat belt light goes off and believe the windshield wiper fluid tank has leak.
