Hey guys,

my friend gave me an awesome offer on his 97 green m3.
12K USD
i didn't have time to ask him everything about the car but im sure if anything was terribly wrong with the car he'd tell me.

anywayz, he said that this car had no traciton control. was that an option when the car was bought new? or is it f**ked up?

so wuts up with the no traciton control
and wut do you guys think of the price? i'll get more details on the car soon.

IF its a 97 it has ASC, it was standard on all 96+ models.

oh yeah that's right. my friend jaded m3 was tellin me that. i totally forgot haha

come to think of it, i saw a 328is for sale on ebay, it was a canadian car, with non power seats. i never saw this as an option here, on the 323's non power seats were standard. but oh well

I think that it is a great deal. But you should check the car at the local dealer...

It has to have ASC, they all have it. Only 95s came without it. I would have a dealer or private mechanic check it out. Never buy a car with out having it checked out.
