1997 BMW ///M3 sedan. Rare car, with the automatic, luxury edition, Boston Green paint and Magma/Mulberry full leather interior. This really is one of the nicest M3's in Seattle!
The car has 106,319K miles, considerably low for its age. I have some receipts from before I purchased it, and everything I've bought for it/done to it since. It's been VERY well taken car of. The work I've had done, has been done at Car Tender and Strictly BMW, and these guys know their BMWs. This car has given me no problems and has not required any major repair of any kind.
The good:
Paint is VERY glossy, interior in great shape, people never guess it is as old as it is.
-New Eagle F1 GSD3 tires on recently purchased ///M Contour wheels (staggered)
-Dinan automatic transmission chip (raises shift points to near red-line, quicker shifts) (Car Tender)
-CosmosRacing air intake-mounted behind the bumper
-Powerflex front control arm bushings
-new rear brakes/e-brake shoes/rotors
-trans serviced at 100K, new ignition lock cylinder (Strictly BMW)
-custom/factory alarm system (aftermarket unit plugged into the cars existing alarm system harness, works flawlessly with an E46 style key/unit)
-runs/drives strong...like an M3 should
-just had it checked out by Strictly, said there's nothing wrong with the car
-Kenwood eXcelon CD/MP3/HD/Sirius ready deck wired into the factory HK sound system
-newly replaced front turn signals and fog lights with Xpel protectant (have for headlights as well, was waiting for Euros to put it on)
-full tint
-it gets GREAT gas mileage on the highway, about 30-32, no joke. Trip computer says I can go between 4-500 miles on a full tank when cruising.
-verified with the dealer that all factory recalls have been performed on the vehicle
-before I bought it, had it fully inspected, have fixed all the things listed
-I'm sure there's more, but there's alot to list
The not so bad:
-body has a few tiny dings here and there, expected with a car of this age
-thermostat housing (upgraded aluminum) leaks a tiny bit, nothing serious, was told by Strictly that this is common
-interior has a few little things here and there, but again, expected with the age of the car
Email/PM me for further contact information and to come take a test drive, you will not be disappointed.
More pictures available as well, and by request.
