                     AMENDED AND RESTATED OFFER TO PURCHASE
                          LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS OF
               OXFORD RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES I LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                          FOR $271.00 PER UNIT IN CASH


Dear Limited Partner:

         We have begun a tender offer to purchase limited partnership units of
your partnership for $271.00 per unit. Our offer is being made pursuant to the
enclosed Offer to Purchase, which sets forth all of the terms and conditions of
the offer. Please carefully review the Offer to Purchase prior to making a
decision whether or not to tender your interests. The offer is scheduled to
expire at midnight, New York City time, on January 16, 2004, unless otherwise
extended. You will not be required to pay any partnership transfer fees in
connection with any sale of your units pursuant to our offer.

         If we purchase your tendered units, you will receive cash, but you may
recognize a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. If you retain your
units, you will continue to be a limited partner. However, you may not be able
to liquidate your investment until the partnership terminates.

         As with any investment decision, there are benefits and detriments to
you from accepting or declining our offer. The general partner of your
partnership, Oxford Residential Properties I Corporation, is remaining neutral
and makes no recommendation as to whether you should tender or refrain from
tendering your units in any offer. The general partner believes that you must
make your own decision whether or not to participate in any offer, based upon a
number of factors described in the Offer to Purchase.

         The general partner of your partnership is our affiliate. As a result,
it has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to our offer. This
conflict may affect the general partner's ability to reconcile our interests
with those of the other limited partners, particularly in assessing the fairness
of our offer price. We seek to purchase units at a low price, but you desire to
sell units at a high price. In addition, your general partner is entitled to
receive fees for managing the partnership and for certain transactions involving
the partnership.

         If you desire to tender any of your units in response to our offer, you
should complete and sign the enclosed acknowledgment and agreement in accordance
with the instructions set forth in






the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II to the Offer to Purchase. The
signed acknowledgment and agreement and any other required documents should be
sent to our Information Agent, The Altman Group, Inc., prior to the expiration
of our offer. The address of the Information Agent for all forms of delivery is
1275 Valley Brook Avenue, Lyndhurst, New Jersey 07071.

         If you have any questions or require further information, please call
the Information Agent, toll free, at (800) 217-9608.


                                      Very truly yours,



                                      AIMCO/BETHESDA HOLDINGS ACQUISITIONS, INC.
