EXTERIORRepaint in original Karminrot euro only color. Was done several years ago, likely soon after it was federalized because the federalized sidemarkers are gone. No dents or door dings or signs of a wreckM-Tech 1 front airdam and rear valanceBMPD side skirtsTow ring extenders front and rearBosche Euro Smileys with city lights.Manual operated Antenna which is awesome because I don't have to have it sticking 4 feet in the air just to listen to music while I drive. INTERIORHigh quality plaid fabric, the same used in VW GTI mk6 with vinyl bolsters and double stitching. Seat kit was made by Kevin Chin with Creative Options. I installed it about 3 years ago. The original front M3 sport seat covers were removed and the side lifting handles were ground off to create a true front seat for a 4-door. Kevin's kit includes the door cards that are glued over the original door cards and the shift boot. There are a couple cut marks on the original door card vinyl near the edges driver side. The dash was replaced with a non-cracked dash with no scuff marks, like new condition. Gauges were replaced with Euro KPH gauges, Garagistic gears replaced the worn odometer gears. Stereo is a simple Kenwood BT652U with 4 Kicker speakers all pretty new. Nothing fancy, but sounds good. The stereo is Bluetooth so you can talk hands free, play your Iphone Pandora or Nav and the sound comes out of the speakers. Center console cup holders were added. Analog clock was added. The bad....Mileage is unknown for the car and the engine. If I had to guess I would say 250k for both. The odometer was not working when I bought it, then I replaced it anyway with one with lesser miles. Because of the low ground clearance I bottomed out the car on a driveway and got stuck. When backing out, a piece of sheet metal under the driver side floor board that supports the accelerator pedal got torn. It is the one area under the car that has rust, about a 4"x10" area. I haven't replaced it because it doesn't effect my driving or anything visually. I was quoted $400 by a body shop to fix. There is about a 1/2"x2" long section of surface rust developing on the inside bottom of the front passenger door. It is not visible from the outside and not that noticeable from the inside. One of the previous owners had the brilliant idea of cutting out the panel between the rear seat and trunk to install a subwoofer. Again, it is out of site and does not effect my daily driving so I never had it fixed. Was quoted about $400 to weld a new panel in place. Rear defrost switch doesn't work. I may have created a short in the wire during installation of the new dash. Temp gauge is not accurate, reads low, or sometimes not at all.There are 2 scratches that are deeper than the clear coat. One on the trunk is 5" long the other on the passenger side rear door goes the width of the door. They are not that noticeable unless right up on the car. All maintenance was done by Touring Car of Charlotte. I have records that can be provided. I am also selling this car on R3vlimited.com and locally and reserve the right to remove it from auction if sold locally.
