1997 BMW M3, Arctic Silver Metallic, black leather interior and 5-speed manual transmission. Only 95,930 original miles and recently passed state emissions testing. Never been road/track raced or modified with aftermarket parts aside from wheels and tires which are OEM spec and in excellent condition (see below for specs on wheels and tires). Optional equipment includes a power sunroof and cruise control. Comes complete with a clean Carfax report and all service records. I am the 3rd owner and purchased this car in 2003. This car has been garage kept and stored during winter months for 9 of the 10 years I've owned it (all except this year). Since 2010 the car has been driven an average of 2,600 miles per year (verifiable by service records), this truly is a "rarely driven" car. I am selling the car to help pay for my wedding in July 2013...happy wife = happy life. This car was just inspected by an ASC Certified mechanic at a reputable local auto repair shop and requires maintenance/mechanical and cosmetic repairs. Everything has been listed below for your review and consideration. I am happy to provide a copy of the service estimate along with the Carfax report for serious buyers. The estimate states that brakes, belts, and power steering hose can be replaced for $1275 (if you are handy enough to do it yourself, even better). This is a fantastic opportunity for the right buyer, let my loss be your gain. Car is being sold "As-Is" with no warranties. Please feel free to email me with any questions or requests.
