You are bidding on a 1997 BMW M3. Finished in Arctic Silver over Black Leather interior. 5-speed manual transmission. 123k miles. Vader seats. ASC Traction Control. Heated seats. Sunroof. Doublespoke Wheels with Khumo tires. Factory spolier. New car trade in. All stock and unmodified.

Clean Carfax report with no problems or accidents reported. One owner per Carfax report. Please take a look at the summary provided below. Average NADA retail value of $15,925 and trade in value of $13,750. Feel free to take a look for yourself by clicking the NADA link below.

This is a complete running and driving M3 priced very attractively. The 3.2 liter S52 still makes excellent power. Does not knock, smoke, or run hot. All the gears are there, clutch does not slip, rear end is not whiny. The A/C and problematic and very expensive climate control unit is working properly. The sunroof is working properly. The power windows are not working, I am not sure if it's window motor, switch's or what but neither are working. More than likely at some point you will want to replace bushings, wear items etc. I have just installed new rear shock mounts and brakes / sensors all the way around. Cosmetically there are normal chips and scratches that have been touched up. I have pictured the 2 worst ones on the passenger rear quarter panel. The paint looks mostly original (lots of chips) but I cannot gaurentee that it has not had any paintwork. Most 8 year old cars have been painted on somewhere at some point. I just replaced the driver's side foglight due to a crack. The wheels have some curb rash but do not seem to be bent. Tires have good tread remaining. Shift knob needs replacing. Steering wheel has some minor seperation. Carpet and headliner are good. Map lights, etc. are working. Car does not have the smell of a smoker. Seats show some wear, again this car is priced accordingly.

I am a BMWCCA member and club racer. I do not want to waste your time nor do I want to waste yours. This is a very affordable M3. I have done my best to accurately describe the car, I will not deal with someone coming and picking the car apart. It is 8 years old, and is a good solid M3 that is priced very affordable and needs a little maintainence. Please do not expect a perfect show winner.

Again, this is a clean titled, complete running and driving M3. I have $9600 in the car (with receipts) and have enjoyed driving it. You tell me what it's worth / what I need to loose. Email or call for more info and pictures. Car is located in Raleigh, NC. Thanks!! Jason (919) 801-0429

Here is a pic of the pass. seat. The rear shocks mounts are being replaced, making the car 100% drivable. (I'm gonna use it as a daily driver if it doesn't sell)

This is the cleanest car i have seen less than $10k. In fact, this is the cleanest car i have seen for less than $14k. Mileage is irrelevant. Condition/maint is everything.

Bump for you.

Nobody bought this? $9900? Are you guys fucking crazy? I just bought a 96 M3 with similar miles that was totalled (Me and Bill part out wrecked M3s) and the guy's insurance company gave him like $14k for a 128k mile 1996.

I am a dealer and I am saying this is a steal for a retail price.

The car has been sold. I think you are correct about car buying on the BF, there's lots of lookers and inquirers, but very few buyers. Good thing there is lots of other advertising avenues, however you cannot complain about the price of the ad! Just my .02. Still love the forums!
