The car has been exceptionally well maintained and drives reliably. There are absolutely no oil or coolant leaks – unusually clean and dry for a BMW of this era. All mechanical components operate as they should, and the overall condition is excellent.
The electric soft-top still works reliably, opening and closing smoothly – a real bonus on a car of this age. With the roof down, you can fully appreciate the classic roadster experience.
Aside from the radio, the car remains completely factory original, with no modifications.
