It's finally come to it, I am selling my 1998 BMW M3 convertible. I'm looking to pick up a new project, but my baby must go first before I can move on. She was 100% bone stock when I picked her up June 14th, 2002. Through the years, she's become strictly a show car or weekend driver. Always garaged kept and never driven in rain or snow. Washed twice weekly, waxed (Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax) every 3 weeks, and buffed/polished (3M products) every other month. The paint is beautiful!! Here's a spec sheet listing of my car:

Currently has 114,330 miles on her. Oil changed every 3k miles with Valvoline Synthetic oil & genuine BMW filter. This car is truly one of a kind and very very well taken care of. I hate to see her go, but time has come.... Please feel free to contact me with ANY questions. I'm located in a western suburb of Chicago. (630) 885-4903 or benprakobkit@comcast.net Asking $20,995 or BEST OFFER! I am open to offers as I will most likely be trading her in if I don't sell her privately.

Pimpin' auto, ja?

Jawohl.

Seems to be a good deal. Its alot of car for the money. The problem is there are not very many BMW enthusiasts who are into that particular "look" Good luck though.:)

Thanks for the kind words! I completely understand this car isn't for everyone's taste, but I know there's a few people out there that would be interested. It's either I try to sell it to an enthusiast, or trade it in (probably will go to someone that won't appreciate it) at this point.

hey you might want to change your sig, its about 20x the allowed size, but nice car regardless

throw it on ebay. might have better luck there

Bump for a sick car. Ben you should part it out, you will make more. At least part out your audio.

Just a minor follow up point: when one is chilling in the back, watching the tv headrests, would the woofer right next to you destroy your eardrums and blow up the nos canister setting your legs on fire? This is just to satisfy my own curioslty, i'm not suggesting it's going to happen.

Looking for a weekend driver. If I lived in Chicago you would have sold it

Wow, that's quite an interesting question! lol It's stricly a show car to me, I've never sprayed the NOS, it's strictly there for points when it comes to the show scene. You can probably destroy your eardrums no matter where the subs are located if you crank it up enough. Hell, even if it were a stock system, you could probably mess up your eardrums. Thanks for the post...

I see you live in TX....I could work something out. Let me know if you're truly interested.

And what could you work out? I did see 1 problem. It's illegal in Texas to tint the front
windshield.

Tried to email you but it came back Permanent Failure: Waiting for a reply

Nice car! Good luck with the sale. Hopefully you won't have to trade it in. :(

Me too! I'd rather have an enthusiast own it than just some joe schmoe that wouldn't appreciate it.

Are you going to part it before trading in? Doubt the dealer is going to care about he mods, likely deduct for some of them.

I will be parting it out if I can't sell the car as a whole. I may need some stock parts as well, so if you're interested, let me know.

Bump for a beautiful car! It would be hard to part with something that hot!

Bump!
It's personally not my style but, damn, do I appreciate the work thats been put into it. WOW.
I wish I had that much ambition for my own car.
Good luck with the sale man :buttrock
