my 1999 BMW M3 w/45.5K miles ... it's for sale too =(

[97e36]

After some thought, I think it would be best for someone else to enjoy this M3 as I will soon not have the time to take care of it anymore. I had so many plans for my baby but never got a chance to follow through. For now, I need a beater to drive around and rack up lots of miles! This car spent most of its life in San Diego, CA until I purchased it in April 2005 with only 35,000 miles and with the original tires! I did an oil change and 4 new tires in California. It is basically stock except for the lights, spoiler, and front seats. Here's the info in no particular order:

M3 located in Dallas, TX
46.3K miles
ALWAYS garaged; the clear coat is in exceptional condition
Silver exterior, dove grey interior
Mobile 1 synthetic 10W 30 oil changes (4 times since ownership)
new RED TOP OPTIMA Battery (Late June 2006)
Denso Iridium Spark plugs (the super expensive ones; ~$13 each)
ZKW euro ellipsoids w/OEM Philips HIDs and S2000 projectors
6 CD Changer
Hardwired V1 radar detector w/pop and laser protection
2 Recaro Pole Position seats w/Recaro brackets and sliders
2 new seat belt tensioners
3-way adjustable CF spoiler (main body painted silver, CF lip left alone)
tint
~35% tread life left: 2 Yoko AVS fronts, 2 Michelen Pilot Sports
foglight delete
X-brace
JTD Aluminum under panel


As mentioned before, I have many new aftermarket parts that have been sitting in my garage for months now b/c I just don't have the time to do the install. I have brand new UUC Gen II sway bars and a refurbished '95 M3 manifold, ~10 oil filters, cabin air-filter, fuel filter.

I am firm on $24K for all of the above, or $23K w/o the uninstalled parts (sway bars, manifold, filters), V1 radar detector, and ZKW w/HIDs replaced w/stock headlamps.

Comments welcomed! PM me if interested. Thank you!

here are some old pictures of the M3 w/o the rear spoiler. I'll upload new ones soon.

FYI: the dyno was on a 100 degree hot and humid day in Dallas. 211.4 rwhp, 213.9 rwtq

Nice car. No front fogs???

[97e36]

S2000 projectors + Philips HIDs = useless fogs
I guess it's a matter of personal preference; I like the look of the foglight delete mod. Besides, you can't tell a difference whether the foglights were turned on or off.

Thanks for the comments!

Bump for Jerry and his clean M3.

still available. There have been many offers but nobody seems to be able to come up with the cash when it comes time to pay. To save both of us time, please make sure you have the funds available before inquiring. Thanks! -Jerry

Any pics with the S2K projectors turned off?

211rwhp is not really what i was expecting from a car with 44k miles on it. My x-e36 96 M3 made 216rwhp......and it had 200k miles on it, with a LOT of drifting and track use under its belt. Only an intake/exhaust as mods too....

Stock 3.2L US M3 on a mustang dyno usually pull around 214 hp...

car has been "sold"! Thnx guys.

FYI, the dyno was on a 100+ degree humid day. The engine does feel like it's choked up a bit up top so I'm sure an aftermarket intake and/or '95 manifold would do wonders. Too bad I wasn't able to enjoy those mods.
