This is mostly verbatim MachineSlaves original post. I've update what's changed within the last few months/3,000 mi. I've owned the car.

General Information:
1995 BMW M3
4th owner
78k miles
Cosmos black
2 door coupe
5 speed manual transmission
Non-luxury version
18-button OBC
Build date: 01/1995

Exterior:
ZKWs with Prolumen 5K HIDs
OEM Euro clears all around

Suspension:
Racing Dynamics springs
Bilstein shocks and struts
OEM X-brace

Wheels:
OEM M Contours (non-staggered 7.5” wide)
Kumho Ecsta ASX tires (235/40R17 only 3k miles on them)

Interior:
Rare M-Technic cloth/suede front seats and back seats (front seats are manual and heated, but the car didn’t come with the buttons for heated seats)
3-spoke steering wheel with airbag and new slip ring
ZHP short shift knob (has the ///M logo on it)
UUC clutch stop

Stereo:
Alpine CDA-7894 head unit (lights up amber)
Alpine MRP-F450 4-channel amp (70Watts per channel)
Polk MOMO MMC5250 5.25” component speakers
Polk MOMO MMC690 6x9 speakers (fitted with BSW adapters)
Infinity Bass-Link self enclosed subwoofer

Performance:
Custom chip (still have stock chip as well)
Cosmos Racing CAI with heat shield

Misc/Maintenance Items:
NGK Iridium spark plugs (BKR6EIX)
Royal Purple SynchroMax manual transmission fluid flush (done before I purchased the vehicle 3,000 mi ago)
OEM keyless entry system
BMW lighted key
Oxygen sensor
1999 M3 exhaust with new exhaust hangers

Issues:
The airbag light turns on for 2 minutes after the car is started because the m-technic seats (that replaced the vaders) do not have the sensor mat in them to hook up the occupancy sensor to. Previous owner had purchased one from the dealer and it’s ready to install, but I just never thought of it as a big priority. The sensor mat comes with the car.

Capital One has the title to the car. I will provide a Bill of Sale as proof of the transfer of ownership for the week to 2 weeks that it takes for the bank to release the title.

Generally, the car is very clean and in fantastic shape with well below average miles for its age. The car burns NO oil and I have had ZERO mechanical issues with it. The AC blows very cold and the clutch is original, but feels great.

My price is set at $14,600. It’s pretty firm, but I can remove some of the mods to lower the price. I do have ALL records of the purchases I have made (along with two previous owners) and I have MOST of the stock parts, which will come with the car when/if it’s sold.

Thanks for looking and don’t hesitate to ask for more pictures because I have TONS of them :D.

11-06-2006, 11:53 PM
you could sell the m-technics on ebay and make more than enough to buy vaders...if i wasn't pressed for time in selling, i'd do it myself

They're a factory option, pretty rare. And in person, it's real nice, I'd take the cloth over the leather anytime. I definitely preferred the cloth LTW seats over vaders (I've had both).

The title says IN, which means Indiana. His location says Geist/Indy... put 2 and 2 together. :) This car is really tempting me, this is Joe if you didn't know Justin...

luke, if i had your ride...i'd sell everything i own to keep it and go back to school...unfortunately this one is that ugly black that's so unpopular...you'll also notice, i edited post #11...figured since i'm trying to sell it, i'd keep my opinion to myself

Bump for a sweet car with a bad ass interior.
I believe the seats are called ameretta(suede/cloth combo) or something, not sure though.

it might be a sign that your price is a bit high, being negotiable even in the slightest helps to sell a car.

Oh... that is so not true, Pat. Leather vaders are FAR > cloth/alcantara. :wave


I also know this car, and I can say the next owner will be quite happy with their purchase... well, as long as they get the vaders in the deal. :D

Beautiful car and g/l with the sale!!!
