1995 M3. Right around 130k. 7/94 build date.
5 speed, leather, manual vaders, heated seats, tilt steering wheel, sunroof.
Aftermarket stuff:
Tien Basic Coilovers
B&B Triflo exhaust
Chipped
HP Wheels (18x8fr, 18x9r)
Front Camber kit.
Aluminum radiator (Carr. Replaced this last month)
Car is in albany right now. I will be moving to NYC on the 22nd of October, and the car will be in Syracuse from the 15th on.
Replaced radiator and all hoses and flushed the system twice about 2 month ago.
Tien Basic Coilovers and new front control arms, as well as rear shock mounts last June.
New front windshield last year.
I put new brakes on it, 2 years ago. The rotors and pads have life left. Real Cross drilled rotors, (zimmerman or brembo, i dont remember) I dont remember which pads I bought either.. they are a aggressive street/sometime track pad... I think they are Hawk.
New slave master cylinder right before I put it away for the winter in fall of '05.
I replaced the entire gauge cluster in 04 I think, might have been 05. This cost me wayy more than you would think. I bought a brand new cluster for ~450 bucks.
At 90k when I bought it I had the 90k service done. Fluids, belts, etc, metal blade water pump installed.
I always got the car checked out and anything wrong with it fixed. Until I smartened up, bought a bentley manual and tools and started doing stuff myself last fall.
The car got mobil syn 5w30 till this yr, I put in 0w40, which I like better and will continue to run. I change it every 4k, even though I doubt it needs it.
The interior is really clean for a 95.
Clears all around.
Problems:
Driver side seat needs to be sewn up a little on the cushion portion. I havent gotten around to having it done.
The havc control backlight is on the fritz, bad connection.
The knob for the lights also needs a new backlight.
The sunroof cover sags.
Could use a new valve cover gasket.
The OBC has a lot of pixels out.
The paint is not that great unfortunately. The OEM color is a Mugello Rot, which came w/o clear coat from the factory. Before I bought it someone must have keyed it, because whoever repainted it was a dumbass and painted it hellrot with a clear. So 1/2 of it factory mugello which fades, and 1/2 of it is hellrot. When I bought it in 02, it looked pretty good, but the mugello part is pretty faded. When its waxed it looks alright, and a good buff does wonders to the paint, but I haven't gotten it buffed in 2 years.
1 spot of SURFACE rust, next to the rear driver's side brake light.
I haven't neglected any of those problems, they are on my to-do list. Some of them, like the valve cover gasket, OBC (i'd remove it) and the backlights I was waiting until I turbo'd the car this winter to do.
Misc:
I dont know what kind of chip is in it. I bought it with the chip installed, but it redlines at 7k. I never opened up the DME to check.
It has on it now TSX retrofit HID's, I will include these and the alpine deck based on the price negotiated. I also have some other random parts which I could throw in on the deal.... aluminum thermostat, euro automatic tint rear view mirror, code clear device, etc.
I also have OEM 10 spoke rims, 96+ staggered.
I also have ~3,500 worth of turbo stuff sitting around. I would have turbocharged the car this winter if I hadn't gotten a job in New York City. If you are interested in any of that stuff also let me know. We could do a package deal.
I also have ~700 bucks in tools I want to sell.
I think this is priced to sell at 10,000.
I have pics but my internet is down and I am using library and friends computers, so please PM me, email me, or call me with anything you need. I will send you pics of whatever you want.
