This is going to be long. I never really thought I'd sell this car. I've owned it for 7+ years and it has been the most fun, best thing I've done thus far in life. However, after a recent back injury, coupled with the fact that I barely ever had time to drive it anyway, I feel it is time for someone else to enjoy this awesome beast I've built. It has been complete for over a year and has been loads of fun.
This is not your slapped together, just-get-it running build. I took my time to build this right. I have a ton of pictures of all of the progress that I would be happy to share with the prospective next owner. Even if you are not interested in purchasing and just want to come check the car out, by all means let me know. I'm very proud of this car and how it turned out.
$nevermind, i'm keeping this thing till forever.

This was a salvage titled car from an accident back in the early 2000s. The car was hit in the left rear and completely and professionally repaired by BMW themselves. The chassis is perfectly straight, aligns perfect and has always driven like it should.
The clearcoat is beginning to flake at a few seams under the windows/top of doors.
Tiny bit of bubbling starting just above the windshield (pictured).

Set of original staggered DS2s.

Bump.
I've had a few interesting offers but nothing solid yet. Not really looking for a trade, just looking to sell.
Open to some serious offers though.
Very nice car! I miss my LS6 M3...perfect combo in my opinion. GLWS

We had one half decent weather day here and I couldn't resist, so I took the car for a spin. While it was out I figured what the heck and installed the dent free driver side fender.
It's back on the battery tender and sleeping under a cover for another few weeks.
Price drop
