This car is a fun daily driver or would make a great candidate for a track day or race car. The motor is strong and pulls hard (compression numbers below).It's pretty, I'm happy with the pictures, I think they represent the car well, avusbleu metallic exterior. There are some very small scratches on the hood that I couldn't get the camera to pick up.It's hard to find a car of this age with a nice looking dove grey interior, this car's no exception, the seats look bad. All the more reason to take it to the track with some new race seats.The wheels are 16" with Firestone Winterforce tires, with ~10k miles (2 winters). If it does get converted to a track car, this is a great option. Softens the ride if you install race suspension, so it can more easily be driven to and from the venue. I bought the car in Fall of 2010 with a bad head gasket, fixed and drove it for about a year.The car's been stored in my garage since last October. I'd like to keep the car, but got a different daily driver that's better on gas (318Ti).So having money for other projects and making space, are the only reasons I'm selling the car (I have another 1995 M3 racecar, so I already have going fast covered).It's not perfect and will never be a show piece, but it has plenty of life left to give the new owner a lot of grins.Upgrade partsPower slot brake rotorsBraided stainless flexible brake linesCarbon fiber cold air intakeK&N air filterAluminum flywheelBilstein sport shocksPioneer SuperTunerFront and rear aluminum strut barsRecent maintenanceNew head gasket ~11k miles agoClutch ~15k miles ago (previous owner)Guibo (rubber disc between trans & drive shaft), drive shaft support bearing, rear drive shaft CV joint ~300 miles ago (there was slop in the rear CV joint, so all the wear parts were replaced)Additional items of interest for potential buyers:Actual mileage unknown, previous owner replaced the instrument cluster, as the original quit working. From what I was told, the car now has ~156k milesCompression check numbers | 1-195 2-200 3-190 4-200 5-190 6-195 (good numbers)Surface rust on drivers side rear quarter panel behind wheel well (pictured)Missing drivers door handle trim piece (pictured)Small dent in driver's door (pictured)Driver's door does not open from the outside, need to use the inside handle (normally I just close the door to the first click, the outside handle will open that, not a complete shut)Missing headliner fabric on sunroof panel (otherwise it operates as expected)Small oil leak at the valve cover. (car does not leave a spot on the garage floor)Cluster intermittently cycles power, happening infrequently. All gauges will stop, needles fall to "zero position", then the whole cluster comes back on, all gauges then operate as expected.I thought this issue was solved, but it came back yesterday. I've been driving the car this week to work to see if there are any minor items that may have come up from being in storage from the winter.I parked the car outside Wednesday night, the cluster acted up twice on my way into work on Thursday, then was fine about 1/2 way in.It had no issue on the way home.I believe it's moisture related, I've cleaned the major connectors between the engine harness, body harness and ECU. I didn't do it until now since cleaning them.Last summer it never had the issue occur.Otherwise the car performed great this week. This is a 17 year old used car, no warranty expressed or implied.
