Hi everyone, This is my 1997 Estoril Blue E36 M3 Coupe, with a manual transmission, LTW Wheels, and an entire book of recent maintenance. Link to more pictures and Carfax report: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CQhbYTCwuFUsRYzj66cupjYIABJDK0LC Here's a list of the car's modifications, maintenance, and known issues. If it looks like a lot, it's because I'm trying to be as thorough as possible, even with the minor stuff. The car was involved in a collision in 2008 to the front, as well as one in 2015. I have paperwork for the one in 2015. The repair work was excellent, and the frame is perfect.Modifications (the overall look of the car is mostly stock, just a few changes here and there):It has a Dinan front strut bar Koni single adjustable shocksstainless steel brake linespolyurethane front lower control arm bushingswheel stud conversionsaftermarket custom exhaust (I can include a stock muffler, if necessary)aftermarket European headlights Sony head unit. The previous owner replaced the original Modena carpets with black carpets.Hawk Track Pads Important maintenance (Since May 2015)New RTABs with limitersNew rear shock mountsNew Lower control arm bushingsNew right side wheel bearingsNew expansion tankNew spark plugsNew rotorsNew fan shroudNew tie rodsNew Guibo4 wheel alignment in AprilBrake flush in 4/2017 New trans and diff fluid in 2016Important maintenance (within the past 3 months)oil/filter changedriver's side seat gear fixednew front strut mounts new sway bar endlinksnew batteryfixed expansion tank (responsible for initial failed emissions) replaced windshield washer reservoir replaced some fuses and fixed license plate bulb lightthe car passed NY state inspection/emissions testing new auxiliary fanKnown issues, listed in order of importance. The majority are minor and common on these cars:minor leaks from the oil filter housing gasket and valve cover gasketseats and center console have typical wear. Center console has small ripsmall chip in wood on passenger's side trimSmall glovebox sag2 of the LTW wheels could be repolishedclutch pedal squeaks when it's warm out. Mechanic said it's the bracket, as the clutch and throwout bearing feel healthydriver's side speaker is spotty when it comes to workingSmall paint chips on front bumperOne of the previous owners took it to the track approximately 5 times per year for 2 years. He took excellent care of it during that time. This is a reliable and rare M3. From my understanding, during the OBD2 car run between 96-99, only 45 Estoril/Modena cars were produced. I just want the car to go to an enthusiast, and I am open to reasonable offers. Any questions- please feel free to contact me. I am open to all reasonable offers and discussions. Thank you for looking at my listing Buyer's information: Free local pickup. Buyer assumes cost of all shipping otherwise. I require a $1000 deposit due within 48 hours of the auction closing, by PayPal or by certified cashier's check. I require the rest of the balance within 7 days of auction close, whether by bank check or PayPal. Buyer is responsible for paying taxes and registration on the car in their state of residence. If buyer intends on driving the car back, they must have temporary plates as I will retain the NY plates. I repeat: this is the buyer's responsibility.
