The Good: This car has been very well taken care of. The interior shows very little wear, the paint shines well, and maintenance has been preformed in true BMW enthusiast form. The dove gray Vader interior is in great condition and has the OEM three spoke M steering wheel. The car has some tasteful upgrades which include a UUC short shift kit, Carbonio carbon fiber cold air intake, Shark Injector reprogrammed DME with stock software included, Euro Ellipsoidal headlights w/blue halos, and M5 transmission mounts. The car also retains the 17” OEM M3 Contour rims with recent rear tires covering cross drilled and slotted rotors fed by stainless steel brake lines.
The Bad: The car has an overheating problem. The thermostat has recently been changed along with the water pump which was upgraded with the steel impellers as opposed to the plastic ones which they are equipped with from the factory. The car also has a previous accident history; however, the car drives straight, wears tires evenly, and handles like the driving machine that they were made to be. There are a few spots where the car has started to rust but could be fixed very easily.

I am asking $7,600 for the car. For someone who knows what they are doing this the best deal on an M for the money. The car has 125,000 miles and will start up and drive fine, just overheats rather quickly and driving it would risk damage to the motor.

I have pics, but i am not allowed to post links yet, so just email or ask me. thanks
