I'm putting my car up for sale. I'm looking to switch to something a bit bigger and more economical for my newly increasing commute.
Some of you know the car is a '98 M3 coupe, 5 speed manual, Cosmos black on black leather, sport package, cold weather package (heated manual Vader seats)
135000+ miles, daily driven.
The previous owner was the only owner, the lady had it as a company car then re-registered under her personal name, but it was under their care its whole life. No accidents at all on record, but many years ago their son rubbed the drivers door on a concrete barrel in a parking lot. The door was replaced at Patrick BMW using OE parts, and perfectly paint matched. The car has a straight, clean body, with just a few dings, and some rock chips up front. It's not rusty! Car has the factory option armrest as well, it's in perfect shape though I removed it for arm clearance. It is included and can be reinstalled in minutes.
The car will come with 2 sets of wheels and tires:
-stock Double Spoke II wheels with 80% Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, stock sizes
-Mille Miglia 16" winter wheels with Blizzak WS60, 80%
-Includes a pair of 10mm ARD flat spacers (hubcentric) with 10mm Turner hub extenders up front, longer lug bolts to match, and also a spare set of 4 flat 5mm spacers with a full set of 5mm longer bolts. Factory lugs also included.
The only modifications are Ground Control street/school hybrid coilovers w/camber plates, 525/650 lb/in ERS springs F/R, DJ auto glass projector lights with DDM 35W 4500K hid, ZHP shift knob, and an Autothority intake. That's it. It also has a Kenwood radio which I might need to keep for the next car; I have the working factory deck. The factory HK sound is excellent, and the OE suspension and headlights will come with the car. Everything on the car works great except for the driver's seat back heat (butt works), and the power passenger mirror. I just set it and forget it.
Recent maintenance:
-Water pump 2009
-New OE Sachs clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, ZF 1st/Rev gear detent pin service, z3 shifter, UUC delrin carrier bushing 05/12
-Remanufactured driveshaft with fresh u-joints, flex disc, and center support bearing from Portland Driveline Service 05/12
-new rear outer lower ball joints and camber bolts, 7/12
-AKG poly diff bushings 10/12
-Replaced seized caliper with remanufactured from Napa, 3/13
-Fresh ATE brake fluid 2013
-Oil changes 5k winter / 3k summer with Castrol Syntec 0W-30 (german) in winter and 5W-50 in summer.
-AKG 90A rear trailing arm bushings 3/13
The car has been well cared-for, and it's been prepared for daily and mild autocross use. Nothing has been removed or modified in a non-reversible way, and it's a hoot to drive any time!
I'm asking $9500 negotiable. I'm happy to entertain offers, try me!
If you're interested, please let me know! I'd much prefer to sell to an enthusiast. Feel free to contact via email at [email protected] or PM here.
If I end up not selling the car, no biggie - I'll enjoy the hell out of it some more
