I'm a North Texas S2000 owners club/NT forum member and I'm looking to get into an S so I thought I might put this in the OK forum in case anyone is interested. Hope you guys don't mind, and if you do I'll remove it.

Well guys, I think it's about the time for me to let the M3 go and get into a newer car. I found a beautiful sebring/red/black 2004 S that I'd like to get into but I have to sell my car first. A lot of you local guys have seen the car, so if you're interested or know anyone that is please let me know.

Here are the details:

1997 BMW M3 Sedan 5spd @ 89,xxx miles
Cosmos Black/black leather
HK stereo with 6 disc in trunk changer
non luxury package
factory staggered wheels.

Mods:
Euro ZKW glass projector headlights/4300K HID (worlds better than stock US)
Clear corners/turn signals (have stock orange as well)
OEM X-brace
URI crank pulley (12 rwhp)
Benfer cold air intake with K&N filter
UUC RK2 shiftknob with ///M pattern
Fresh shocks/struts november last year
Factory doublespoke wheels will have fresh tires
Extra set of 17X8 track wheels with 245/40/17 A032R's
Oil changed every 3000-4000 miles using Mobil 1, tranny fluid changed last year

History:

I bought the car 2 years ago with around 63K miles on it if I remember correctly. The previous owner was in his mid 30's and about to have a 2nd child so he needed to sell it. He just used it to commute from frisco to Texas Instruments in richardson. I've autocrossed it about a full season and replaced the front control arms/bushings and rear trailing arm bushings and aligned it about 4 months ago.

The Bad:

The first owner had a minor fender bender in which he rear ended someone. The front bumper/grill and radiator were replaced by Classic BMW's body shop which looks flawless. I also slid into a curb at about 20 mph and bent the rear control arm a month after I bought it. The control arm was replaced with a new one and frame was verified as straight by Color Customs of Denton, TX. I also replaced a bent wheel in that incident.

Transmission rests in 5th gear when car is cold but pops back to neutral within a few minutes, it's a common problem and a pin needs to be replaced. Transmission shifts perfectly, no grinds etc.

Interior is overall very clean for a 97 car, drivers bolster has slight wear no tears or big cracks though. Passenger has very minor wear, rear seats look almost new minus a small blemish on each side from previous owner's car seat.

It's rare to find a M3 sedan around here, and very hard to find a 5spd manual. I have most the service records and take good care of the car. I hand wash it about once a week and wax it every few months with S100. I'd like to make it a quick sale so I'm asking an $13,500 which I think is VERY fair. It is listed in Autotrader @ 14,800 but I'd rather see it go to an enthusiast.






Email me at josephkan@hotmail.com, PM me or IM me at jkan2001. I can provide my phone # if you PM me and can meet anyone in the metroplex to check out the car. I'd be willing to meet halfway between TX/Oklahoma to deliver the car also.



Thanks,
Joseph

Tempting....

Looks like a well maintained M3....

I am looking to replace my DD, but think the timing may just not be right at this moment....

Good Luck with the sale.

Price listed at bottom, 13,500 firm which is a steal. If you shop around on autotrader, bmw forums etc you'll see that the realistic market price for this car is 15-17K. It's hard to find a well maintained manual M3 sedan that isn't a crazy color like purple, green or yellow etc.

Thanks for the kind words guys
