Selling my beloved 97 M3 Sedan. Life has taken an unexpected turn and I have to find a larger vehicle.
So up for sale is my M3.
Current Milage: 97,200

Bad:
Headliner is sagging
Rear tires need replaced
Will need brakes in the next 10,000 miles
Driver rear strut mount needs replaced

Extras:
HID with Angel Eyes
Aftermarket CD

Car is a good solid example, maintained by my local BMW mechanic.
Full price offer will get the headliner replaced and perhaps the tires.
I am not in a huge hurry to sell, but would like to get sold.
Car is located in West Lafayette, IN
Price: $9,000

Possibly interested. Would you mind including some additional pictures? Standard profile, front, and rear exterior shots, as well as pictures of the interior that show the sagging headliner. Also any maintenance info or info on the HID upgrade?

Cooling system not done, Auxiliary fan will be replaced prior to sale. Oil changes are regular. Rear shock mounts being replaced Saturday.
I have owned the car for just over a year, previous maintenance unknown. I have a close friend who is a mechanic at a BMW dealership and he has been over the car and told me it is solid.
Thanks

Tried to PM you for more information, but I don't believe it is activated yet. Hopefully this puts me over the 10 posts so I can do so. Would prefer to avoid posting my contact info publicly here.

Is the cooling system still original, any rust on it? Seems like a pretty clean car.

Siris

Cooling system is original, but can be upgraded as part of the price negotiation. No rust.

I'm potentially interested and not too far (WL was my old stomping grounds for several years.

So did the sagging headliner get squared away?

Headliner was replaced in July. If the price is too high, I'm open for feedback...Thanks

Sounds good. I'm weighing my other car options (WRX may be better for the winter) but have wanted a M3/4/5 for a while.
