This is an extremely clean and low mileage example of the E30 M3. It has a fully documented history and has been well maintained and cared for its entire life. All original paint, matching panels and a stock, unmolested, unopened S14 engine. The car currently has 84,703 miles. Clear title in hand. The original owner's manual and service folders are included along with the original keys (including valet). The trunk mounted toolbox is complete. The car is Alpineweiss II with the sand (beige) interior. The engine is stock with the exception of a Jim Conforti chip (note: the original chip is included with the sale). I am the third owner of the car having purchased it in the fall of 1998 from a friend and fellow BMW CCA member who purchased the car from the original owner in 1990. Since new it has been extremely well maintained (mechanically as well as cosmetically) and always garaged. This car does have some minor modifications to stock, including upgraded rear shock mounts, upgraded front shock mounts with increased camber, Eibach springs with Bilstein sport shocks, and a Borla stainless steel exhaust. Within the last 10k miles I have replaced the lower controls arms, and bushings, tie-rods, front hubs, master cylinder, fresh plugs (X5DC), oxy sensor, new Turner Motorsport wire set, cap and rotor, air filter, new belts, rebuilt front calipers and Redline fluids in the tranny and diff. The car always ran Mobil 1 synthetic every 3 – 5k miles. ATE Super Blue or Gold brake fluid every two years or less. A small box of replacement parts is included with the sale including extra plugs, rotors, relays, and a few odds & ends. Cosmetically the car is a 9.5 of 10. There is a very slight dimple in the driver’s side rear fender that is only visible under the right lighting and angle. That is the only defect in the body other than a few scrapes on the front airdam. There is a very small chip in the windshield as well. The stock 15” basketweave rims have been refinished in Nogaro Silver (the Evo color) with new roundels in the centercaps. They are mounted with Toyo A032R’s with about 25% tread remaining. The car also comes with 4 stock 15” rims without tires. These rims are original - straight and true - but do not include centercaps. There is no mounted spare tire. The interior is a 8 out of 10. It shows the typical wear on the seat bolsters. The map pockets have discolored in both driver and passenger doors. They are now a little darker than the surrounding trim (see photos). The carpet, dash and trim are all original and in excellent condition with no cracks or tears. The stereo is a Blaupunkt Atlanta with AM/FM/CD. Mechanically the car is a 9.5 out of 10 and runs extremely well reflective of the care that it has been shown over the last 20 years. The valve cover and the plenum have been refinished. Underhood is nicely detailed and very clean. A full set of high resolution images can be found on Picasa at http://picasaweb.google.com/115229352565462375995. Additionally I have a short flip video of a walk around the car that includes starting and running the engine. I can also e-mail the service history for the last 15 years or so. Please e-mail me directly 1989m3@earthlink.net with any questions or special requests.The car is currently located in the Kansas City metropolitan area. I can deliver within a reasonable distance and will help the buyer as much as I can to ensure that the car is delivered safely to it’s new home.
