sad to write this but i will have to sell my E30 M3
when i bought it, it was my 3rd car so i never needed to depend on it
but in july my company is moving offices and i won't be able to car pool with my wife anymore
and my Crossfire's lease is over in late may, so i won't have that to fall back on
Which means someone else will get to enjoy my baby
i bought it in june 26th 2007 from the second owner
it was a PA car it's whole life
since then i have changed the sealed beam headlights to US ellipsoids (not smileys)
16" E32 wheels with new 225/45 16" tires
installed a new catalytic converter and new OEM muffler (passed VA emissions easily)
replaced oil/fuel/air filter
replaced brake/engine/power steering/differential oils (transmission next)
replaced coolant (thermostat being replaced next weekend)
replaced faulty sensors (oil pressure and water temp)
replaced front rotors and have rear to be installed with rear bearings
new spark plugs
new rotor/distributor
fixed oil leak (yaay!)
M Tech II steering wheel
E36 M3 illuminated gear knob
replaced all exterior bulbs
replaced all dash lights with LEDS (except alternator light) looks like a new car
new battery
redyed the interior, looks brand new. i would give it 9/10 cuz of the driver seat (needs another coat of black dye), no tears. just looks more used than passenger
replaced/installed all interior plastic bits (the ones that cover the seat mounting bolts, the trim under the steering wheel etc)
replaced seat shocks for passenger, driver is ok
cleaned fuel injectors
adjusted throttle butterflies
compression test done last year, i think it was 195, 190, 190, 185
replaced OBC bulbs with LEDS
SI board ok
i have 2 new wiper grilles( the ones below the windshield) (no rust there thank god)
car has 15% tinted windows, i was very against them when i bought it. but they don't look too bad. they give it a meaner look
what needs to be done:
rear wheel bearings (have them, will probably do it in may, along with installing rear rotors)
i would like to change all rubber bushings (but it rides very well) (car has H&R springs with OEM shocks, lowered but not too uncomfortable)
change belts
adjust valves
either engine or transmission mounts need to be changed, buzzines in gearknob around 3k rpm (bought 6 series mounts, will install them next weekend, motor mounts are ok)
now the bad news
i hit a deer once (god damn bambi) so there is a little damage to the front left fender and hood
broke the left grille but already have replacement left and right
missing 10/12 metric wrench from toolkit
car comes with a full gasket set (valve cover, head gasket, etc) came with car.
no OEM stereo, i have a Sony in there now. speakers are all OEM and all work fine
i think that about summarizes it up
