This auction previously sold to a non-paying bidder. PLEASE don't bid if you don't intend on buying and PLEASE read this entire description before bidding. I have a full Autocheck report on the car. If you would like a copy email me and I will send it to you. 2003 BMW M3 COUPE SMG with the Premium package and 19" wheels. The car has power windows, sunroof, leather seats, a/c, Harman Kardon premium sound radio/cd player/cd changer, power seats, seat memory, cruise control, side airbags, aluminum dash trim, back up sensors, and HID. lights. This is a previous 2 owner car which was a trade in at a new BMW dealership and has a clean and clear title. Original owners manual and 2 keys included. If you are in the Tampa Bay area and would like to see the car in person please contact me at 813-263-3514. The car is in overall very good condition but since most will not be able to see the car in person and due to the fact that the car was obviously a drivers car as evident by the mileage I will therefore break down the condition as I had my mechanic do a mechanical and body inspection. Mechanical Condition: The car is in good mechanical condition. The car runs and idles smooth and has plenty of power on the road. No smoke from the exhaust. No leaks under the car. No lights on the dash. The spark plugs were recently replaced. Fuel filter is dated 2011 and flows properly and air filter is new. The oil and oil filter is new and clean 10w-60 Castrol full synthetic as recommended by BMW, the used oil when changed ran black with no metal flakes or discolor. The motor mounts are new, 2 main power steering hoses replaced. The oil pan/sump gasket was recently replaced and the oil CPV valve o-ring as this is a common leak area on these cars. All parts replaced with OEM parts. An alignment was recently done on the car as one of the power steering boots had cracked so I had the boot replaced before it caused any damage to the linkage so the car and steering wheel point straight and the car has no vibrations at high speed. No unusual suspension noises or vibrations. No problems with the differential breaking away from the body like many of these cars do. The differential and prop shaft are in good working order with no vibrations or noises. The exhaust is free of rust and holes. The tires have plenty of life on them and are all matching Michelin and Z rated. Inside the AC works well and all fan speeds work. The cooling system works normally and during idle the car's temperature gauge stays right in the middle. Cooling fans cycle on and off normally. Power seats, power windows, power mirrors, rear view mirror dimmer, trunk opener, and sunroof work. All lights are fully functional inside and outside. The radio works but you have to push the button a little hard to turn it on and off. All diagnostic lights work normally when the car key is turned on. The transmission shifts normally and on time. Both paddle shifters and console gear selector operate normally. All of the sport mode,DSC, SMG shift time selector, TPMS, and Harman Kardon audio buttons on the center console work normally. Power steering operates normally. Brake pads and rotors are in good condition with no vibrations and very responsive. E-brake works fine. There are two keys/fobs that come with the car and the car locks and unlocks remotely perfectly however one of the key fobs does not work. Cruise control works. The battery is 3-4 years old and holds a charge well. Mechanically I would rate the car a 9.5 out of 10. Cosmetic condition: The exterior of the car looks good and the paint is overall in good and glossy condition. At a distance of around 6 feet the car looks very nice but if you look very closely you will see imperfections especially being that the paint is black. The hood has some nicks from love bugs and a some swirling from polishing. The front bumper has some small spider cracks toward the bottom. The paint on the rear bumper is overall in good shape but there is a little bit of rough paint on the lower left side which is hard to capture on camera. Driver door has a 4" scratch in the topcoat as shown in the picture. No rust underneath the car.To the trained eye it would appear the the rear driver's side quarter panel was replaced at some point but the repair is good and the quality of the paint matches the rest of the car well. There is a small chip in the windscreen. The wheels have some curb rash on the edges. I would realistically rate the exterior of the car 7.5 out of 10 (10 being a the car brand new as it was in 2003). The interior is in overall good condition. The carpets, dash, and door panels are very clean with no cracks. Some of the black parts on the console have some surface scratches on them. The shift selector has some chrome peeling off. The seats are in acceptable condition however there is some signs of aging on the leather and cracking however there is no tares or areas worn through. The drivers side seat has had a few inserts sown in. And the rear seat has one small insert up top. The mats are discolored and worn but clean and obviously easily replaceable. Headliner is not sagging. I would also rate the interior 7.5 out of 10.
