Hey guys, looking to mix it up with the nice weather coming up so posting my M3 to see if there is any interest.
1998 M3
Clean title
No accidents
Techno on black rain alcantara (originally black leather)
88k
5 speed
Canadian west coast car since new, so very mild winters if driven in the winter.
Maintenance/mods
FK highsport coilovers (5k)
Retrofitted Fx-R projectors in DJ auto euro headlights
Alcantara rewrapped OEM steering wheel and alcantara boots.
ZHP knob
New entire cooling system (4k)
New shock/strut mounts (5k)
All new pulleys and belts (1k)
New vanos seals (1k)
Bluetooth compatible sony HU
LTW carbon glovebox strip and door sills
Staggered michelin PSS (5k)
Bimmerworld catback exhaust
2nd set of refinished DS2 wheels with brand new winters
Theres some other stuff but thats off the top of my head.
I'm the 3rd or 4th owner. I'll have to check.
CONS
OBC is pretty much useless. Clock still works so I haven't bothered to fix it.
Heated seats are no longer hooked up. Got rid of them for the cloth seats.
A few nicks and scratches as expected but paint is overall in very good shape.
Why I'm considering getting rid of it:
I love the car, and its head and shoulders the best car I have ever owned, but there are 2 cars I want to own more than this that I realistically can.
I'm looking to use this car as a partial trade towards an e30 m3 or a 77-93 911. These are likely the only cars I'm considering trading for and as it stands I'm not getting rid of this car, which I love, until one of these can be in my driveway the same day this car leaves. Ideally trades to start I am looking in the B.C. and Washington area, and will consider farther for the right trade.
Thanks,
Chris

Clean ///M I have the exact same one
Thanks very much man. At this point its really still a pipe dream unless someone with a 911 or e30 wants to free up some of the cash their cars are worth. I'm not ready to sell it unless the perfect replacement is right in front of me especially with a few track days on the horizon. Thanks for the compliments, I dig your car a lot as well.
I know you're mainly looking for trades, and I'm sure the answer is no, but I have to ask. Are you willing to part out the seats/interior?
PM'd you.

I'd consider parting a lot of things from this car if it came time to sell it, but as it stands, being that the right trade may not come up, I will not be removing any of the parts based on the possibility of keeping the car.
Drool.
would you be willing to trade for a 03 WRX ?
I think he's implying that you likely don't have a techno on black cloth m3. Not to be rude, but I doubt your car is "the exact same one" as you stated. There was no North American m3 ever built in this exterior/interior colour combo. Its only people who swapped the interior in, which as most know, is not easy to find.
No thanks.
Why in Gods name would you sell such a great example. If for some reason you decide to not sell it with those seats let me know.

Gorgeous car, GLWS
Wish I had something to trade because I would fly up there in a heartbeat if you were selling.
Thanks for the compliments guys. As the end of my wife's schooling approaches the possibility of keeping it and adding the other choice to the mix to join it seems more and more plausible, but as it stands if a trade comes along I'm still interested. I've had lots of offers to buy, but I really am not interested in selling it if the perfect replacement isn't there, as I don't want to pressure myself into picking up the wrong car.
Thanks,
Chris
I honestly don't think I'd ever part with that car man! You are very lucky to own such a car!
Price!!??
1 e30 m3 or porsche 911.
I'll include a brief case of up to 20k in the passenger seat.
Thank you! I may not have to, but as it stands, a single income for a couple living in the most expensive real estate in Canada makes it foolish to have 2 fun cars, especially when I only drive 2-3 times a week. At this time I have to get rid of one to get another.
