Hey Fanatics.
I must step out of the BMW game for a little bit just because I have a lot going on and cant be worrying about maintaining my older BMW for the time being.
I am selling my 1998 BMW M3. I have owned this car for about 3 1/2 years and loved every moment of it but its time for me to move onto different things.
Ill get very descriptive...
Background Info:
Exterior:Arctic Silver Metallic
Interior:Black
187K on ODO
130k on used s52 motor(was 86k when I bought the motor)
PO didnt mention an oil leak, so that snapped a rod after being 3 quarts low.
I have a lot of history about the car and can share at the time of visit. Ill even show you pictures from day 1 to know of what its been through.
The fun part, Modifications:
UUC Catback exhaust
UUC short shifter
AC schnitzer aluminum pedals
UUC performance organic clutch with LTW flywheel(1000 miles on it and I have proof of installation by RS worx)
RK Dyno Tuned(On a SuperFlow Mustang Dyno)
Corbeau Racing Seats
UUC CDV Modified valve
ST coilovers(few months old)
LTW wing
UUC front and rear sway bars
Aluminum rear strut bar
Projector Headlights(custom build)
Angel eyes
HID Fog lights, 5000k
LED license plate lights(one is out)
m50 Manifold with a custom catch can for excess vapors
eBay headers
some crap intake
ASC delete with MaximumPSI's custom elbow(I have the ASC unit if you want it)
Rear inner fender was shaved and sealed for more wheel clearance
Rogue Engineering Rear shock mounts
Maintenance:
Brakes and rotors were done last year(drilled and slotted)
Polyurethane RTABS installed few months ago
Cooling system done last year with OEM parts
Aluminum Radiator from Turner motorsport(same as water pump time)
Rear main seal done 1000 miles ago(I have a receipt)
New oil pan with gasket done 800 miles ago(I have a receipt)
Oil change done same time as oil pan gasket with Lubro Moly+Oem filter
Other then that, I used 0w40 Mobil 1 with OEM filter
A few of the calipers were replaced due to being seized
Rear window seal
new control arms
Power steering line replaced(1000 miles ago)
Front window windshield cowl
GUIBO done with rear main seal(1000 miles ago)
Washed every week, waxed every 3 weeks
And now some of the bad, which isnt really bad, but I am VERY anal when it comes to detail. I took care of all the BAD within the past 1000 miles:
-One washer nozzle doesnt spray(i have the OEM replacement, just havent put it on)
-front fenders are banged up from my Apex wheels(very aggressive setup, notice pictures)
(I was going to do fender flares before I decided to sell the car)
If your planning to take the car, I will refer you to someone to install the flares
for you. You have to purchase the flares first and have them painted.
-maybe a couple of dings and scratches on the body that I have to look for.
-airbag light comes on for the passenger side belt buckle. (ill show you with the scanner)
-Asc light is on(because I removed the traction control)
-brake pad light is on(never cared to look into fixing)
I dont know of anything mechanically wrong with the car. I just went through about $3000 in one week at RSWorx. You can call them if you please. They will have my back when I tell you, there is no oil or power steering coming from anywhere under the car like half of these M3s you will come across during your hunt for another car.
That said, the price I am selling the car for doesnt come close to what I should be getting back for it. BUT, spring is coming, it needs a new home, and needs to be driven. It will be sitting in my driveway, uninsured and de-plated for the time being. Do not PM me to lowball me for the car. I am in no rush to sell and am not dying to get the money quick.
$8000
Here are random exterior pictures of what it looked like in the summer with all the exterior stuff put on and different wheels
I need to clean up the inside and in the daylight, so thats why I havent posted interior:
