MY HISTORY:
I am selling because I bought this M3 as a project car to drop in a V8 engine and turbo. At the same time, the engine, transmission, and ECU are for sale too. But by the time this posting is over, I will have a son (hopefully) and will be needing one or the other to sell. So whichever option sells first determines my actions. If the powertrain sells, the car will not be for sale and the project will continue as planned. If the car sells, then I will see how parenthood goes and decide if the project will begin again or not sometime next year.

I bought this car from a dealership who told me it was not the original engine. I did not verify if that was the case or not - but if it is the original engine she's got great compression numbers and runs very strong. It may have sat for a year or so and was not in the best of condition. The E-brake wasn't working so I took it apart and fixed that. She isn't the strongest e-brake but she does work. The car came lowered and honestly drove horrible. I put stock springs on, got an alignment and four used, but decent treaded tires put on. She drives straight, and nice now. Truly I find myself driving a bit like an a-hole because she's light, small and nimble. The underside of the car was coated in fluid. So I traced the leakage and replaced the valve cover gasket and fixed a power steering reservoir leak. The car's underside, after driving it daily, has been completely dry now. Her AC system was not working when I bought it, the AC condenser was broken. So I replaced that with a new condenser and she blows nice and cold. The O2 sensor was not functioning, so I replaced that as well and now the car drives great and strong with no check engine lights.

As far as appearance... I shampooed, and steam cleaned the carpets and the seats. I added smoked tail lights and corner lights. I did this because the tail light assemblies were goofed up and things weren't making proper contact. Also, there is a section between the trunk lid and the rear bumper that had rusted. I bought a new piece to put on there, but it needs to be painted. I have not gotten around to doing that yet but the piece will come with the car. The front bumper didn't have the grill in it and was flaking. So I bought a new one, which will come with the car. It just needs to be painted as well. There was a big dent in the passenger side rear quarter panel (as seen in the pictures). This dent has been pulled, but is not perfect. I figured I'd make it perfect when I had the other pieces painted but haven't gotten to that point yet. The seats are cracked - very common for the dove grey interior - and the stitching on the drives seat bolster has separated. None of the leather is ripped though.

As far as condition... If you decide to buy the car, she's ready to drive immediately. Power windows, power door locks, sunroof, heated seats, windshield wipers, turn signals, head lights, high beams, climate control, etc all work. With that said though, she could use a little TLC in the following areas. She could use some updated suspension work. And the exhaust has a very small leak. She could use new fog light bulbs, rear stereo speakers, and the cruise control system doesn't work. The ABS light comes on and I believe that to be because of a faulty wheel speed sensor... or maybe its just dirty. The shifter is a little sloppy. I am unfamiliar with how it works, so I was not able to trace down the failure.

I do drive her quite a bit these days. She's got really nice pickup and averages 27 miles per gallon (hwy and city combined). She starts right up and goes without issue, stuttering, etc. Might be running slightly rich for a second on startup but does great. The dealership said their were bigger injectors installed - and I don't believe there are.
