1996 BMW M3 - 89k - Meticuously Maintained (http://www.panjo.com/buy/1996-bmw-m3-89k-meticuously-maintained-259708?utm_source=bimmerforums&utm_medium=bbcode&utm_campaign=auto_thread&utm_content=title)
This is a rare low-mileage enthusiast owned vehicle. The car still retains all factory amenities such as working a/c and heat. I've enjoyed the car for HPDE's after selling my BRZ and never looked back. Car is exceptionally clean. No rust or body damage. The clear coat/paint on the car is a 9/10. Really phenomenal condition. Driver side seat has a hole right below the Recaro logo due to HANS device rubbing. Seat covers can be replaced if desired from Recaro.
Why am I selling the car? Over the past 24 months i've owned a BRZ, M3, Miata, MR2 and now a Focus RS is on the way. I'm consolidating the fleet and will be using the RS as my track/street car.
This isn't the low mileage M3 you buy that needs an entire laundry list of work. This is a turn key car that is 100% ready to enjoy on the track or street. I am extremely meticulous about my cars and didn't leave anything questionable untouched. This car was built with function over form in mind. Motor is very strong and runs perfect. Transmission and clutch also perfect. I've never ran the car on slicks - only on Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Fastest time seen at Road Atlanta in this car is a 1:43.3 with a bit of traffic. Car performs extremely well.
Album of images shown here. https://www.flickr.com/gp/43349991@N00/ia7R39 Note: check engine light is on due to O2 sensor (no cats). Typically i reset the light and it goes away for ~500 miles. The rear bumper cover in the gallery has been replaced with a brand new OEM BMW bumper cover. It is brand-new and has no damage.
A radio delete plate is shown in place but a radio is in the car now. Car has an upgraded sound system and works perfectly with the Alpine head unit.
