Even with the auto, this is good. It's not an x-drive, right?

It cracks me up that the seller notes the need for front brakes and a thermostat and then says it's "priced accordingly". Right. If one subscribes to dealer pricing. Otherwise, $200 worth of brakes and $500 for a water pump/thermostat (and those are generous allowances) and you're still way out ahead. Again, great deal.

Assuming your car is pre-wired for the alarm (my 2008 is, so hopefully BMW didn't cheap out the following year), you don't need to worry about the sensor as it's already there. It's in the housing where the map lights are.
I'm working off the assumption it's RWD... could be in for a surprise! Price is great for the mileage with history... I paid the same for our second E91 with 180,000 miles on it, although it was impeccably maintained. Owner wasn't an enthusiast, but he definitely kept up on maintenance. And great to hear on the alarm, I'll start getting the other parts!
