Wow, that is about as much value for the $$$ as you're gonna find!! And the color combo is awesome!!
Somebody in the market for a 240D should really give this one serious thought!
Read back through what the seller has done. There are many costly items that do not have to be worried about.
Nice!

**btw, I don't know the seller and don't remember ever speaking with him, it just appears from his ad, his pics and the records that it is quite the deal.**

One tiny area of surface rust near a wheel well, and a little bit on the pass. floorboards in the back that's resulted in a small perforation, unfortunately. It's mostly surface rust on the floorboards also, but there's a fist-sized weak spot. On the plus side, now the water drains instantly if any does get back there.

The bits of rust are documented in the pictures.

As far as the windows, all the motors work. Front-Right motor is currently disconnected because the switch contacts are dirty and it only operates in the "down" direction. Rear-left motor turns when you press the button but the window doesn't move anywhere. Pretty simple fixes most likely. The power sunroof is functional.

Thanks! I've taken good care of the car, I have all the maintenance/service records from my ownership, and I have the original service records book that leaves off just a little bit before I became the owner. And yes, it has been pretty costly.

I'll be able to do further documentation tomorrow if anyone cares (won't be up there until after dark today, but tomorrow morning) for additional photos/video.
