I will deliver this to anywhere, as long as there are roads connecting me to where you are. Obviously you will have to cover gas to get it to you though.

Drive this car and you will fall in love with it. Just needs some cosmetic fixes and you are set.

I have some local guys interested in some of the parts, I am really looking to sell this pretty quick actually, so if it doesnt get some serious interest on here I will end up parting it out locally and then selling it as a stock M3. Price is already cheaper than kbb for this car stock though.

1997 Cosmos Black M3
17" OEM Contours

Just shy of 180k miles last I checked, but new head gasket and reconditioned head = reliable

RECENT (Less than 2k miles):
-OEM Head Gasket (Just about 1200 miles on it)
-All 4 new OEM O2 sensors ($400)
-Recondition Head
-Schrick Cams
-Stett Headers (double ceramic coated)
-BFG KDW 17" tires (235 front 255 rear)
-Radiator Hose (yes I am going to claim it)
-Alignment
-Spoiler (and paint)
-Iridium plugs
-New starter

Mods:
-GC Coilovers
-UUC Swaybarians
-X-Brace
-UUC SSK
-LTW flywheel and clutch have less than 5000k miles
-Stett Pulleys
-M50 Intake Manifold
-Random Technology cats
-Dinan Stage III software
-UUC TSE
-CF CAI
-CF Hood (painted)
-HID's and Clears
-Alpine Head Unit, Amp, and Infinity speakers
-Shocks and springs were changed with OEM by PO
-UUC transmission mounts

The Bad:
-Coolant Sensor is out, OBC tells me so
-Drivers side window doesn't go up on auto (have to hold it)
-Software doesn't match cams and headers, so it has slight hesitation on lower RPM's but otherwise runs fine.
-Brakes squeek but have life left, PO said it was doing it since they were put on.
-Front leather seats are pretty worn/ripped.
-May need PS hoses (cheap anyways)


Pics are before GC coilovers were installed:
