Vehicle Detail

Beautiful M3 offered with NO Reserve. I found this dark beauty about a year ago after a long search for a car to split daily duty with my NSX. It had the perfect combo of carbon black over cinnamon interior (both M-only colors), low miles, perfect subframe, and BMW's great sequential manual gearbox (SMG). As soon as I had it home, I made a few upgrades to tighten it up a bit, and quickly found myself reaching for the M3's keys way more than the NSX's. Awesome car and hate to let it go, but I need something I can tow with. Upgrades/maintenance: 12,000 miles ago- Turner Motor Sports subframe reinforcement kit (welded)- AKG 75D (red) poly subframe bushings- OEM rear trailing arm bushings (RTABs) with poly limiters- OEM differential mounts (all 3, including new differential cover)- Stoptech SS brake lines all around 10,000 miles ago- Koni Sport (yellow) adjustable shocks/struts all around- new OEM strut bearings- new OEM upper and lower front spring pads 3,000 miles ago- new OEM throttle position sensor (TPS) - the one under the intake that's a bear to get to 1,000 miles ago or less- new AC belt and tensioner pulley- new waterpump/alternator belt and tensioner pulley- new OEM thermostat (old one was stuck open so engine was taking a while to warm up)- new OEM coolant temperature sensors (one on radiator hose and one under intake by thermostat housing)- new CPV o-ring This combination of poly subframe bushings and OEM rubber differential and rear trailing arm bushings is the perfect mix to to prevent the flex between subframe and floorpan that can cause cracking, while avoiding the noise, vibration, and harshness that normally come with poly differential mounts and RTABs. This setup, combined with the adjustable Koni shocks, makes the car smooth, crisp, and predictable. Features:- Xenon headlights- backup sensors- Pioneer stereo with Bluetooth The good:- no codes - no leaks - no worries- engine pulls like a champ- SMG in great shape, with crisp shifts- fantastic interior and paint The bad:- a few small dings (shown in the pictures)- foglamp lenses are cracked, but still work well and replacements are cheap The OEM staggered 18" wheels shown on the car are included with auction. I also have available an extra set of staggered wheels if you want to put the second set of rear wheels on the front. This "square" setup gets a little more rubber in the front to help prevent understeer, plus looks pretty great. $500 for the full spare set of wheels, with tires. I can knock that down if you just want the 4 rear wheels and I can hang onto the 4 fronts. The extra rear wheels are shown in the last picture. I can take pics of the front ones if interested. Thanks, and please reach out with any questions!
