    Testing the waters on my 2000 Arctic Silver M Coupe

    So to put it simple. I've owned this car for coming up 15 years now in October. 2nd owner. 70k ish miles. When I bought the car at around 58k I had the entire cooling system replaced as precaution. Hit a mail box about 2 years back. Had the driver door, front side fender, front bumper replaced. All body work done at the BMW dealership. At the time had all the fluids changed, new timing belt. Also had all the wheels refinished. Been wanting to sell it to someone that will enjoy it more since I hardly drive it now and can no longer garage it. It has lived in a garage the entire time I've owned it up until about 6 months ago. Hardly seen rain, never snow. I don't want to keep it outside anymore but rather let someone enjoy it.

    Update to now. I F*king backed into the passenger side door with my other car.

    So question is. Anyone willing to buy a great condition M Coupe with a huge door ding they will have to deal with? I'd drop the price to like around $22k. Car could easily be worth $25-28k if I repaired it and took the time. But I just need to get rid of it ASAP.

    I've been a CCA member since I've owned the car with plates.

    BMW's haven't had timing belts since the early 90's. Maybe you had the alternator belt replaced?

    I'll get more and a pic of the damage once I wash it again. That picture was from about a month ago.
