FS: Dinan Estoril Blue 1997 M3 Coupe 5 speed $19,000 obo

[Ali]

Up for sale is my 1997 Estoril Blue M3 5 speed coupe with dove grey interior. The car has heated "vader" sport seats and the rare estoril blue exterior. The car is equipped with sunroof, one touch window/sunroof opening, Traction control, etc. The mileage is in the high 93k's. I bought this car bone stock almost a year ago (have pictures), since I have done alot of maintenance and tasteful modifications to it. Only synthetic oil has been used in this car and I personally only use Mobil One synthetic. Recently the spark plugs, belts, Water pump, thermostat, thermostat housing, Rear shock mounts, o2 sensors, tires, alignment, tire rotation (Side to side as bmw recommends, not front to back) etc have been changed or performed. The car is in immaculate condition with minimal wear on the exterior and interior, there are practically no dents on the car. I still have all the cars original manuals and the original window sticker of the car showing all the options. I have also added an OEM BMW armrest and cupholders since I bought the car to give added comfort (parts bought new from bmw). Leather see's only Lexol and I have recently been only using Zaino on all my cars (amazing stuff!) I have also done the following tasteful modifications:

Dinan 18X8.5 Wheels
Kumho 235/40/18 tires all around with very good tread left
Dinan wheel spacers on the front (increases track and handling)
H&R sport suspension (Car handles very well but the ride is still very comfortable)
Valentine One Radar/Laser Detector with remote display in front of cluster (Best radar and laser detector out there)
E46 convertible Rear Shock Mounts (Sturdier and longer lasting than stock units)
Dinan Carbon Fiber Intake
Fully Stainless Steel DTM catback exhaust (sounds amazing)
European Ellipsoid Headlights with Angel Eyes (Bought from Bavarian Auto, German made)
OEM BMW Xenon system (superior lighting, not some fake xenon bulbs but the true OEM bmw xenon)
Clear European Lights all around
OEM BMW Armrest assembly with cupholders
OEM BMW Illuminated ///M shift knob
OEM Motorsport Spoiler
Pioneer EL Kameleon headunit (turns completely black when turned off so that it is not visible) with voice demand/recognition and remote
Pioneer 12 disc CD changer
Pioneer 400 watt amp for interior speakers
2 12" MA audio Subwoofers that hit very nicely
800 watt MA audio Amp for subwoofers

The whole sound system was installed professionally using the best wiring available. The sound quality is incredible and I am truly going to miss it (sitting in a friends stock m3 makes me appreciate it even more) I am selling the car as I rarely drive the M3 (I have 2 other cars I use for normal daily driving) and I just can't afford to keep this garage queen. I get numerous traffic light compliments and people asking me if its brand new (does not show its age at all!) I have owned 3 other M3's beside this and 5 E36's in total and have been a BMW enthusiast for many years now. It took me a long time to find this rare color and good condition M3 and I hate to see it go. I am giving it away at $19,000 obo. Email me: abbassi@Bellsouth.net
Many pictures can be seen here and I can take requests:

Any info on the supra?

[Marlow]

Info is here: Auto trader ad (http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/vdetail.jtmpl?car_id=134578835&dealer_id=&car_year=1995&make=TOYOTA&distance=25&max_price=&model=SUPRA&end_year=1995&advcd_on=n&min_price=&address=30117&search_type=used&advanced=n&start_year=1995&color=&cardist=0)

I'm just west of Atlanta. The car has been well maintained, but is not perfect (couple of small rock chips, etc...) But if it were perfect, it would be more like $24k plus though. There are a bunch of pics in my sig. It's really a fun ride that I'm pretty sure will not be losing any value in the near future.

[ducky]

Willing to part w/ the wheels and rubber?

LMK :) Good luck selling.

[sfhighroller]

Bump for sick ride. Shiiiiiiiit Ali, is that your house in the background?

[Ali]

Thanks for all the compliments, i'm probably going to keeping the Dinan wheels as they are my current favorites.

[kotsos1870]

Bump for a bad ass ride - That M3 has the sweetest combo of all: Estoril / cream leather

Good luck selling Ali, those are indeed some very tasteful mods and this car will make someone a very happy owner :buttrock

oh did I forget to mention the GREEEAT price? :alright

Thank you :D get some pics of your car up so I can post comments :)

[kotsos1870]

well sorry to highjack your thread, but here's mine, nothing special, at least before the transplant.

Still a very nice color though (had to respray the whole car) but it came out real nice

[Ali]

very nice, I always like the E46 sport rims on the E36, thumbs up :clap:

[///Molloy]

Ali?

Doyou still have the Contour Wheels?
Are you selling those Dinan rims with the car?
or the original contours?

-Matt

P.S. Bad-ass ride

[Ali]

sold the factory contours a while ago.
thanks

[BimmerDawg]

Damn Ali, why are you selling? I had no idea...you go through damn M3's faster than I do! :D

Good luck selling her. You should have no problem whatsoever at that price! :eek:

P.S.--Wanna sell me any of your stuff? ;)

[Theodore]

Ali, there is a chance I might be interested. I need to work out some finance stuff first. Would you maybe be interested in selling for a lower price w/o some of the stereo stuff? Lemme know. Also, can we see a VIN for it?

Ted

[Ali]

If you're interested in the car email me and I will send you the VIN number. I might be able to work something with the car w/o the stereo, although I'm not sure how to remove the wiring (It was professionally done) Thanks for the compliments Geordie, if I do take any of the parts off the car to sell I will let you know :)

[Theodore]

That'd be great. I just need the trunk for things like golf clubs and my bike and whatnot. Do the rear seats fold?

Ted

[Theodore]

Oh yeah, what kinda exhaust?

Ted

[kotsos1870]

Ali, I ll be a good customer for the second time and take the 'OEM BMW Xenon system', if you plan on taking it off the car :wave:

[Ali]

I have some interested parties that want the car as a whole, but I will let you know. And Ted check your email.

[///M3ryder NY]

[Ali]

what do you mean (referring to the mine, maybe its a typ :dunno ) but i'm selling the car because i've got 2 other cars right now and my priorities have changed. I would have loved to keep the m3 and am sad to see it go.

[Theodore]

Question for you. If the M contours are gone, and you want to keep the Dinan's, what does the buyer drive away on?

Ted

[Ali]

Dinan's go with car.
thanks

[kotsos1870]

Can't believe you still haven't sold this beauty ALI. Do let us know when you do and post a pic of the new owner as he drives away... :bawl

Bump for a pimp ride :buttrock

Bump for an amazing ride and an amazing deal! This car is a steal!

[Ali]

Thanks guys, and yes, it can be shipped :D

[Theodore]

Sorry Ali, wont work out for me. But..

BUMP!

Ted

[Ali]

Alright guys, this car is still for sale and once I put it into the newspaper, autotrader, ebay, etc I will be less flexible on the price as the costs associated to doing that. I would really like this to go to an enthusiast,
thanks

[PhreeZe]

Jason

[Ali]

[Salar]

I can have the sound system removed professionally if the buyer would like. No marks would be left over. I can also give a discount on the price depending on what you want removed. Email me. And thanks for the bump Salar :D
