The big bad points up front:
This car has been in two collisions (one before I owned it, the other in August 2011) damaging the front driver-side corner. Neither accident totaled the car, only causing body & suspension damage that’s been repaired (accident thread with pictures here: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?4382). The accident when I owned it required the front–left corner being pulled/straightened (& resprayed).
The paint has never been detailed / corrected / waxed / etc., except for the repair-related respray of the front corner. There are normal small scratches, nicks, dings, rock chips, etc. that are consistent with a seventeen-year-old daily driver. There is a scratch on the trunk from a partially opened garage door & a dent where (I presume) the previous owner pried off the trunk lip spoiler. The paint on the roof rack cover panels is starting to fade.

Sunroof is inoperative. I suspect the right-side cable track broke/cracked: when trying to open to the vent position, the left rear side lifts up while the right doesn’t.
Less-serious negatives:
The clutch has started to show signs of slipping (e.g. accelerating uphill in high gear).
The steering has 1–2° of play (I suspect the steering rack as there is no play in the column or tie rods; I replaced the steering guibo with no change).
I installed a UUC double-shear selector rod (DSSR) that I suspect is the wrong part: it greatly increased the shifter’s side-to-side play/looseness instead of eliminating it.
The A, B, & C pillars have had their anthracite fabric removed (except for the passenger’s A & B); I attempted to re-glue the As myself (using 3M Super 77), but it didn’t turn out as smooth & clean as I had hoped, especially on the airbag panels. The passenger’s B is starting to peel near the seat belt opening.

The floor mats are pretty worn, as are the armrest & driver’s outboard seat bolster.

Both instrument cluster knobs’ rotation function tabs are broken (only big impact is the inability to set the clock).
With the negatives out of the way, here are the reasons somebody (you?) would want my car:
It’s a ZHP that runs & drives like one! She still pulls hard & handles corners like a Performance Package-equipped BMW should (suspension refreshed with all OE/OEM, stock-spec components at 130k mi).
Non-cold-weather-package-equipped: no leaky headlight washers or rigidity-reducing pass-through rear seats
Enthusiast-owned since 2007 & 45k miles
It’s been maintained per Mike Miller’s Lifetime Maintenance Schedule (previously the “Old-School Maintenance Schedule”): oil changed every half-interval (every ~7,500 miles) with BMW 5W-30, 0W-30, or Mobil 1 0W-40 & Mann (OEM) filters, annual brake fluid flushes, biannual coolant flushes, etc..
