1997 M3 Coupe, 5spd, Contours, LTW's or Bryetons. Your choice or add another set at the time of purchase. The Contours are near perfect and have Michelin Pilot Sports with great tread left on them. Breyton's have brand new Fusions and are 8.5 and 9.5 widths. The LTW's have recently been refinished and powder coated and are wearing A3SO5 Hoosier's.

The car has is in excellent condition with 111k miles, Koni adjustable all the way around with external adjustable front and REAR, NEW OE BMW Rotors all the way around, new plugs and wires, new hoses, Mobil 1 oil used its entire life, new fuel filter, fresh clutch and gibbo.

Dove Grey Vaders are in great (9/10) condition, I removed and disassembled the seats, cleaned and redyed them with exact matching dye, while the seats were out I cleaned the carpet with a hot water extraction machine. Carpet and rear seats are near perfect. Many new parts including all the front fender liner and components and all other protective plastic on the front and under the car, new front splitter. The front was resprayed, and it is a near perfect job I am very meticulous and I was very happy, there are NO dints or Dings or paint lines on the car. Paint is at least 9.5 out of 10 on entire car. I put a 8 mil 3M Clear bra on the week after the repaint to protect the front from chipping.

You can see the car on my website www.autocrossphoto.com (http://www.autocrossphoto.com) I will try to get a page up for it soon. You can also see photos of the car from the link in my signature.

Car is very tight, all electrical components work as they should. Alpine Head unit with Amber display, 10 Disc changer in the trunk and new Sony speakers. 18 function Computer in perfect working order.

This is a great car, for a daily driver, AutoX, Track, or Show and shine. ALL OE BMW parts used for repairs, car runs in SCCA BS so the only mods are Brake pads, H&R Front Sway and Konis. You can check out the first few event of 2006 from the www.arscca.org (http://www.arscca.org) results and see that the car finished in the top 5 out of 60+ drivers. It was driven by my wife at the Midwest Divisional and she took a 1st Place Trophy.

I think you are asking a little much for a car that was tracked and has 111k miles... Just my $0.02.

The car has not been tracked. I has run local AutoX events. There is a big difference between short, normally less than 1 minute runs, normally under 60 MPH on the fastest part of the course going around cones.

Track events and track days are all day long at high speeds, putting heavy loads on the engine and brakes. That is my .02 worth.

It is still a really nice car. I will entertain any reasonable offers. It is an unmolested M3 also, no stupid mods etc.....

thanks for looking.

I am not trying to say the car is beat up...however I have autocrossed extensively and while not track racing I would argue it is just as hard on the car. Especially bushings, brakes, clutch, engine (constantly banging against the rev limiter etc.).

Anyway, the point was not to say your car is trashed, however in the mind of a "car buyer" if they had to choose between a car that was "tracked" (as they would see it). vs. one that wasn't they would not be willing to pay as much. Just my opinion.

FYI, Porsche 968's kick ass.

I agree, but the wear items except the engine have all been addressed. The engine is strong, with great compression numbers and 3k service interval on oil change. All fluids in trans and rear end have been changed.

I did enjoy the 968, wish it would have been a M030 car. I am planning to buy a 996 C4 when I sell the M3. Again, any offers will be considered.
