    1998 m3 gt3582r trm stage 2 technica tuned 108k

    I have a wild hair, I think its time to let this car go. I purchased it right at a year ago, drove to Valdosta Georgia to buy it. It has been a childhood dream to have a turbo e36, after owning 4 e36's before this one. It quenched my thirst, but I believe its time to find a new home. I had a bumpy start to ownership, fuel pump died on the way back from Valdosta. Car would not set readiness and could not get a tag for it for months. I was just driving it on the weekends with a dealer plate from work. Bret at Technica has been a stand up great guy helping me get it sorted. After the fuel pump was sorted, he put a muffler on the waste gate that was open dump and tuned it. The drive ability is amazing, since the tune it has not had an hiccup but still will not set readiness. Please do not ask if it will set, we have spent countless months tweaking the tune. No CEL, and fuel trims are spot on. I have put roughly 1,000 miles on it in the last year, mainly to C&O and car meets. What I have/had installed since buying; Fuel pump, plugs, filters, tires, battery, belts, tensioners, new headlights(bosch projectors) and a starter. The only negatives are door panels are pulling away from the pockets, glove box broken/hanging, the car has been hit 10+ years ago due to drivers DOT door and drivers Quarter panel. The PO tagged the passenger fender minor and found another arctic silver fender but the turn signal does not match. I also have a Ben Simpson half cage that I would sell that I never got around to installing due to the interior is just to nice to start cutting up. Price is 16k.

    These were old pictures when I bought the car, I plan on putting together almost a "BringATrailer" presentation with walk arounds, under car pictures, and a pull on video.

    If you have seen the jalopnik "nice price or crack pipe" poll on for sale posts.... I would vote this as nice price.

    Having A SC e36 I can say this is a great deal, if the car is dialed. I didn't read the whole post, if its running good hell yeah I would buy this for around asking. Sweet ride.
