The car was maintained and serviced Bill Arnold BMW Repair in San
Rafael CA and before our ownership was well known in the Bay Area BMW 2002
community – it’s quick over the road and is very well balanced. It
has never been involved in a major shunt front or rear – and still has the original
underhood stickers and rear side window emission sticker for model year.
