Experience the warm summer rays and breeze while on the road with this classic convertible. Especially with COVID-19, there's nothing like taking in the fresh air all around without having to bother with a mask! This silver 2004 BMW 330Ci is in great condition given its age. The convertible top is fully functional and easy to operate with the press of a button. Extras include parking sensors, Harman Kardon speakers, leather seats, alloy wheels, wood panel dashboard, CD player and xenon adaptive lights. There's also an in-board GPS system but I'd recommend resting your smartphone on my dash mount instead for real-time maps and traffic. State safety inspection and oil change was last performed in October 2020. Wheel alignment done in January 2021. Tires replaced in June and November of 2020. Battery, brake system, shock absorbers, starter motor, clockspring, steering column and fluid, ignition coils, antifreeze, cabin and engine filters, blower motor, tie rod, exhaust gasket, front bumper, headlights, fog lights and tensioner assembly all replaced in the past couple years. Trunk space is expandable for more luggage when convertible top is not in use. As an added bonus, I have a resident parking sticker so you can park on any residential area of Back Bay for free.

Back Bay parking sticker allows you to park anywhere in the residential neighborhood streets for free. Please ask for more parking details once you book!
Dogs or cats welcome, but please return the car clean. No smoking please and of course, no driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Premium gas required when refilling the tank. Renters are responsible for any parking and traffic tickets incurred during the trip. Please set the start and end times of your reservation so it's the earliest and latest you will pick up and return because Turo insurance is only in effect during the official period of the reservation. In the event the name on your driver's license does not exactly match the name on your Turo profile, I am required to upload a photo of you and your license to the Turo app. Please drive safely and no drag racing. When booking, please let me know where you plan on going. Thank you!
Does it necessarily require premium gas when refilling the tank?
Yes! Very important to always feed it the highest octane gas at the station. If you prefer, feel free to return the car without refueling the tank and I will send a bill for reimbursement using the cost for premium gas at the Shell station down the street.
Is the convertible top difficult to operate?
Nope. Just make sure the vehicle is stationary, in park mode and no passengers are trying to get in or out before operating the convertible top. Press and hold down one button that looks like an open convertible top for about 15 seconds for it to come down. Press and hold down the other button that looks like a closed convertible top for about 15 seconds for it to come up. In both cases, you'll know it's done when the windows stop moving. Please do not attempt to climb over the car with the top down.
Your car details say there are 4 seats. Why not 5?
Unfortunately, most convertibles or coupes only have room for 2 passengers in the back seat. Although you could theoretically jam an extra person in the middle seat, there are only 2 seat belts. I do not advise traveling with 3 passengers in the back for both safety and comfort.
This is an older model car. Will it break on me?
Although I cannot guarantee that something may break as it is case with any car regardless of age, both myself and the previous owner carefully maintained it. Much of the mechanical repairs associated with an aging vehicle has already been addressed in addition to receiving regular oil, filter changes, and coolant flushes. In addition to the repairs listed above, the convertible top underwent repairs and servicing in 2016. Further, the control arms and bushings, transmission fluid, steering fluid, intake bellows, motor mount, differential fluid and seal, sway bar links, water pump, pulley, serpentine belt, radiator, radiator hose, radiator expansion tank, thermostat, oxygen sensor, spark plugs, vans pipe, oil filter housing gasket, fuel pump assembly, fan clutch Sachs, valve cover gasket and ambient temperature sensor were all replaced in the past 5 years.
Will you be available in the case of an emergency?
I am reachable on my cell phone, but in the event there is an emergency, Turo provides Roadside Assistance and can be reached at 1-866-735-2901. I used to be an Airbnb Superhost, so I try my best to provide great customer service!

Pleasant to work with, car met expectations
TheresaMar 29, 2021
Thanh was phenomenal! He was very nice and communicative, and the car was exactly as described. Perfect for a warm day when we wanted to get out of the city.
SheridanMar 23, 2021
Thanh was great and personable. Great instructions, he even had a print out paper for any general questions that he leaves in the car for guests. Would rent again.
JohnMar 23, 2021
Thanh was great to rent from and is extremely hospitable when it comes to any questions or concerns. Very punctual as well.Also, what a beauty of a car (even without the top down) with great maintenance. Will definitely rent again in the future. Thank you!

Thanh was really communicative, gave me a thorough introduction to everything I’d need to know about his car and the car was extra clean and well-appointed.
