Hey Guys,
I have been off and on on this forum for a while and I just want to start off by saying that you guys rock and have provided so much valuable information in the past few years. Now time for the sad part: I have a 97 M3 that overheated twice in the past 3 weeks and it seems that it caused the head gasket to leak. At this point we do not know the extent of the damage to the head but know that it should be taken off and resurfaced and pressure tested before replacing the head gasket. I am moving up to San Francisco in the next month and do not have time to deal with a rebuild and then sell so I have decided to just sell it as is and take the loss. Here are the details

Price- $8500 OBO
Location- Arcadia/Pasadena CA

1997 Hellrot Red BMW M3 ~105K Miles
5 Speed
The Good:
Euro style blinkers and sidemarkers (clear)
Euro Style Tailights (Clear blinkers)
DEPO Headlights (Glass) w/ Angel Eyes and Philips HID's
Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs
Koni Yellow Adjustable Shocks
Remus Exhaust
Brand New (Literally just installed during Christmas) Pioneer DEH-6900UB
-Includes cleanly installed IPOD adapter cable
Tinted on all windows
Stealth Auto Pedals/Shiftknob/E-Brake Kit
Brand New Radiator installed 2 weeks Ago
New Thermostat installed 2 days ago
Exterior is overall quiet clean and interior looks fantastic for a 1997 (Cleanest I have seen in a while).
All new Fluids at ~95k mark
Mobil1 Synthetic Changed every 3-5k mi.

The Bad:

Blow Head Gasket - Will not run due to inability to hold Temp (leaking coolant)
From what I have heard and what my mechanic had told me this can run from $1000-$3000 (Dependent on shop and amount of work you do once head is off)

Some Moldings need new connectors (Very Minor)

I do not have any pics on hand right now but here are some pics of my car at a meet a little while back (Halfway down the Red E36 M3 with the 2 others)

Thanks for looking!

get pics on hand if you want to sell..

Thanks for the advise. I will get some pics up later this week.

I suggest you fix that blown headgasket if you want your asking price.. If not then lower the asking price..

True very true! Otherwise this is worth half or less than half of what your asking...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I actually already have a couple of offers that are much higher than half of my asking price.. I know I don't have good pics for you guys to go off but people who have seen it in person know it is super clean. Anyways I am negotiable and would love for people to come check it out in person! Thanks again for the advise though.

Sold!
