This M3 is a well cared for and maintained vehicle. All engine sensors were recently replaced, crankshaft position, camshaft, and coolant temperature. The water pump, thermostat, coolant hoses and all belts were also replaced this year. The suspension components have been replaced and maintained over the life of the car. Oil changes were always done on time. The transmission filter and fluid were replaced a few years back. It has the "Angel Eyes" headlight upgrade. All four tires were replaced last year and have good tread. Hood and rear Hatch emblems are replaced. and were the kidney grills and turn-signal lenses.Freshly painted 2 years ago. The car was running strong and flawlessly until I unfortunately drove into a dark fresh water flooded street causing engine damage. I have pulled the ignition coils and spark plugs and looked in each cylinder. I could see no damage to the pistons, no fragments. There was a small amount of water in the cylinder 6 which I removed. The engine rotates freely in either direction until it hits what I believe are valves. Either the timing chain jumped some teeth or there are bent/stuck valves. I don't have a garage or time right now to pull the head and do any further diagnostics. If I had the time and facilities I would undertake this repair, I do love the car and was in the process of restoring the interior, you can see the armrest has been reupholstered this year. The back seat needs re-upholstery, The sunroof interior cloth liner needs renewal and some of the pillar coverings need attention. This would be a great project car, possibly even conversion to a manual transmission, or a great car for converting to a track car for racing. There are plenty of used and rebuilt engines on the market for an easy swap. Clean FL Title. At least two sets of keys.
Water did not get in the interior of the car. The electrical system is functional, the starter tries to turn the engine over. No problems with the undercarriage.
The custom plates are not coming with the car.
Buyer is responsible for pickup/shipping costs. There are many reliable transport companies. I have shipped several vehicles including an Airstream Travel Trailer using transport services. Ebay has some recommendations and there are plenty of options.
The car is sold as is, not derivable at the moment. There are some other minor issues that will need attention that have nothing to do with the mechanical performance, for example the seat backs tilts don't work and the wheel speed sensors need to be replaced. It will need Engine repair or replacement. It was a reliable strong running car with no transmission or engine issues before the engine a was damaged.
