I have a 1997 M3 up for sale again.

Some things that I have just changed out in the last few months.

4 brand new tires done like 2k miles ago
new vanos unit,solinoid,headcover,secondary tentioner.
new thermostate,water pump,clutch fan,belts,and all the hoses and clamps and new radiator.
new front control arms and off set polly bushings from the 95 M3.
new ignition coils and spark plugs.
new rear control arm upper and lower bushings.

just had a 3.64 LSD built by dan last week,havnt even broken it in yet.

I have spent over 4k in the last few months fixing things so the car should be good to go for a very long time.

The only problems the car has is that the door speakers are blown,there is a rust spot on the rear trunk boot from a stupid ebay peace I had on the car,the tranny has the 5th gear stick when its cold and the front bumper could use a little tlc.

now to the mods.

The car has 152k on it but trust me the thing runs perfect,it pulls so clean and runs smooth.I have H&R coil overs,AA tuning front and rear strut brace,BMW X-brace,Turner motorsport front and rear swaybars,UUC ltw flywheel,UUC shock mounts,Dinan short shift kit,Jim C shark injector,Jim C intake with a 3.5 in K&N on there,ACS delete,CDV delete,M50 manifold kit (not installed but will include)AA tuning gen 3 exh,18in CSL replicas,glass projectors with 6k HIDS and a few other things I left out.If my plasma coils that I have pendinf fall threw I will include them also and I have a spare 5 speed tranny that I was going to swap in for the 5th gear stick problem.

There are probably a few more things that I left out but the main thing I wanted to say is that I have just put alot of maintenace in the car and it runs great.

I will get pics up soon,I need to wash the car.

I am also the second owner and had the car for 7 years,I know everything inside and out on this car.I will also have turner motorsport do the PPI inspection for you guys also.I am local to them.

thanks guys,this is by far the nicest color combo you can get in these cars.Everytime I take it to the beach I get complements and they never believe me when I tell them its stock.

Had a local kid test drive it twice,this was before the 3.64 and he's looking at a few other M3s in the same price range.So far mine was the fastest :) He said the others didn't have as much torque.

Must be the brand new vanos unit lol

Just to give you guys an idea on how fast this car is right now,I raced my cousins stage 2+ S4 from 55-110 and we were neck to neck from 55 to 100 and he slowly pulled a car by 110 and I let off because I am still in breakin for the diff.

The car is even faster now,the ecu has adapted,when we raced I didnt drive the car for 3 weeks and the throttle was sluggish,the car freaking rips right now and Im even having second thoughts about selling it.

Ohh why do 2 of my friends have to buy 335s right now and put me on the spot for a 335...I hope someone local picks this up so I can see it every once and a while

I will pm u later I have to go to work,but yea I will part them out,I am losing so much money on this car.

600 sound good?I paid like 400 just for the new rear tires.
