Looking At A 2001 e430 sport....Opinions
Hi all, looking at picking up a 2001 e430 and it's a sport I believe. Has 160k and the only drawback are some rips on the front seats and it says engine oil sensor visit workshop. Any opinions before I decide on this model? Do these have factory self leveling? And if so are the adjustable via STAR?
Thanks!

I recently bought a 2000 E430 Sport with 135k miles and absolutely love it. It's fun to drive and the engine and transmission are strong. Very solid car in my opinion. And the sports look so good haha

Sorry to thread jack, but coming from the world of BMW, there are some major differences between Sport and non-sport.

My 2002 has 145k on it. My engine oil sensor has been out for a couple years now. Requires the oil pan removed in order to fix it. I just check my oil regularly. I bought this car with 60k on it and so far the only repairs I've needed to make have been: new idler pulley, motor mounts, trans circuit board, rear window motor.

2001 E430 Sport
I've had my 2001 e430 sport for almost two months now and i love it to death. The sport package is only cosmetic and has the amg bumpers and sideskirts, sport wheels, sport shift knob and sport badging. The w210 is a great car and I would recommend you getting one but they can be a nightmare if they haven't been maintained. Make sure, regardless of mileage, that you get one with good service history. Also, one that hasn't seen too many cold winters would be a good idea. Hope you enjoy it.

Surely the Sport, like the Avantgarde in Europe will have lowered suspension (as above) from the factory?
