ENGINE

3.2 liter DOHC inline 6 cylinder. 333 hp. Maintenance is current, Inspection I done November, 2011, valves adjusted & VANOS seals replaced. Motor oil (BMW/Castrol 10W-60) with filter, new spark plugs, plus thorough brake & coolant flushes also done at this time.

TRANSMISSION

The 6-speed manual (non-SMG) transmission shifts perfectly. Tight linkage, no slop.

EXTERIOR

Exterior paint is in excellent condition, although there is a scratch about 2 inches long on the lower part of the passenger door from recent road debris that hit it (but no dent – just paint scratch).

INTERIOR

The interior is every bit as nice as the exterior. The original leather seats have no cracks or tears and have never been re-dyed. The carpet is free of spots & stains and is clean even under the seats. No runaway french fries in this M3. The dash is completely crack-free. The aluminum trim is perfect. Cup holders look good, minor scuffs on ashtray lid.

EQUIPMENT

All equipment and options work correctly including 2 master keys, power windows, power soft top, door locks, mirrors, rear defrost, all on-board computer functions, and check control system. In-dash CD player with H/K audio option and BMW 6-disc changer in trunk. Two sets of BMW plush floor mats: one gray, one black.
