Why is it for sale?
I just purchased a Father/Son project car to work on with my father and I need to free up the space.

General Overview:
Car is an excellent 'driver quality' car. This means it's reliable, in mechanically good shape and drives great; it also means that it has it's bumps and bruises. I want to be as honest as possible in both pictures and description. The car is 98% stock save AKG FCAB, clear markers, m3 color stripes on the driver front kidney

The good:

• Clean title. The car not appear to ever been in any accidents (all stickers/vin tags intact)
• It's very dependable and drives excellent
• It pulls strong, shifts great and the diff is quiet
  I was told the clutch/flywheel were replaced around 105k but have no proof...
• Since I bought it, I've replace the following:
• Front Control arm (New OEM BMW)
• FCAB- AKG (a little noisey )
• Both Tie Rod assemblies
• Both Front Sway bar links and bushings
• Front Brakes Pads - Hawk HPS
• Front Brake Rotors
• 4 Bridgestone re-11a in factory sizes
• Radiator (installed on 3/15/15)
• Water Pump with metal prop (installed on 3/15/15)
• Upper and lower coolant hose (installed on 3/15/15)
• Metal Thermostat housing with Thermostat (installed on 3/15/15)
• Fan Delete (installed on 3/15/15)
• Whalen Solid Seat Bushing*
• Glovebox Sag Fix *
• (*=have parts but not installed, but might be soon)

The Bad:

• The front bumper is cracked/Scuffed
• The hood is rock chipped
• There is rust on the drivers door at the bottom
• There is rust on the lower fender panel between the door and the front wheel (drivers side)
• There are two small surface rust spots where the drivers rear side glass meets the quarter panel
• Rust on both mirror bases
• Rust bubbling around hatch lock
• There are dings
• There is a 1/16th" crack on the diff mount ear- has not grown since I bought it.
• It needs shocks/struts to replace the current OEM setup. I wanted to run coilovers.
• All wheels have peel clear and pitting; a little rash on a couple wheels
• After sitting all winter, the AC blows cool at best... not cold.

This is a drivers car that shows well from 7 feet away... its not perfect, please see the pictures.

[TiAgMC]

have you gotten an estimate on fixing the rust?

[RSkid]

No, I haven't . I didn't buy it with that intention.

[mixxx]

I have $10.5k, will that be enough to pry her from your vice like grip ? I really don't have a penny more but do have the cash sorted.

[RSkid]

Sorry, it takes a little more than $10,500!

[RSkid]

Been almost a month-bump. I've really been enjoying driving it in this nice weather. Almost 125K on it!

[RSkid]

Here is the last update: I accepted $11,000 via ebay and the buyer backed out. IF you're a buyer at $11,000, reach out to me at 314-614-1478. Other than that, the wife has taken it over as a daily driver and I her Mini Cooper.
