Mileage is too high for the price you're looking for. $14.5k to $15k with mileage in the '70's.
The sweet spot for maximum trade value for a BMW (Audi, M/B, etc.) is 12k miles per year.

Paul1994,

Battery might be failing. Also, nominal voltage at the battery terminals @ 1k RPM should be 14.4 to 14.6 VDc. Alternator failure after a known good replacement seems unlikely.

The flashlight plugs right into the holder, however, you have to plug it in the correct way as it has a locator lug in it which permits insertion only one way.

Great advice. BTW for every 10 degree temperature swing, you will lose/gain 1 psi. Here in New England, at this time of year, I check the tire pressure once a week.
