As aforementioned, the cylinder dead was rebuilt and mildly ported by previous owner (smoothened out basically), has near 10k miles on it. Pulls very hard and is very strong, no issues at all.
Liqui-Moly 15w60 oil has been used for every oil change, done on the regular as this M3 has been used for
competition every month.
Have a folder full of receipts for the parts and maintenance records for the past years.
Was going to strip the interior but didn't get around to it so it's complete and intact.
Paint is in decently good shape, couple things to probably do is to repaint the front bumper (and maybe the rear) plus the sideview mirrors (clear coat is peeling).
The widebody kit panels were painted and installed by me (it's not a "professional" paint job but it matches the car at least and looks great from 100ft away lol).
Car will come with spare parts and some goodies as well (poly diff mounts, oem oil pan, spare maf, stock oem stuff, mounts, etc.)

Selling for $8500obo (might be open to trades + cash)
