    2000 Alpine White Z3 MCoupe / Supercharged / 29,400+ miles - Chicagoland

    Let me just say this first. I know everyone says this but I truly mean it when I say it pains me to sell this car. It took me a VERY long time to track down a white Z3MC and when I finally bought it, I told my wife that under no circumstances should she let me sell it...ever.

    Needless to say this is a rare car in very good condition. I have spent more money than my wife will/should ever know on making this as clean a car as I possibly could. The car has been checked out from top to bottom (motor, transmission, frame, etc).

    About the Seller (me):
    This is not my first MCoupe. My first was a 1999 Boston Green beauty that ultimately went to forum member GoFast in Houston. Anyone that knows me can attest to how absolutely obsessive I am about every single maintenance and mechanical detail of my cars.

    Car's History:
    http://www.mcoupebuyersguide.com/lis...?ListingID=185

    Car's Specifics:
    http://www.mcoupebuyersguide.com/vin...CM9344YLC61822

    Modifications:
    + RMS Supercharger kit - Stage 2 with after cooler
    + Meisterschaft exhaust
    + Dinan Supercharger Tune
    + UUC Lightweight Flywheel
    + M5 clutch (Less than 500 miles)
    + AC Schnitzer Short Shifter
    + H&R sport springs (1" lower than stock)
    + Bilstein sport shocks
    + Slotted and Cross Drilled Rotors with dustless brake pads
    + Umnitza ProjectorZ II
    + VDO Oil pressure, oil temp, coolant temp gauges

    Known Issues:
    (All minor but trying to avoid any surprises)
    + ASC system light is on due to supercharger kit
    + SRS airbag light is on due to seat removal. Can be reset easily.
    + Brake pad sensor light is on. No sensor is present.
    + Auto dimming rear view mirror is showing age
    + Gauges are wired to power but have not been hooked up. New owner would just need to buy the senders and install.

    Final Notes:
    + Clear title
    + No accidents
    + No subframe issues
    + Clean Carfax
    + Oil changed religiously with synthetic

    So Why Am I Selling The Car?
    We recently found out that my wife is pregnant (exciting and terrifying) and we would love to free up some money. I also work from home and literally drive the car maybe once a week (if that). The rest of the time we just use my wife's Mini Countryman.

    Price:
    $24,000 or best offer - Title is in hand and ready to go - SALE PENDING

    Had the grills and gills painted at a local paint shop. They did a great job.

    Do you have the three switches that are missing from the center console? Hit me up if you do.

    Long answer:
    Since the car never had the BMW OEM security system or seat warmers those buttons were never on the car. The DSC button was also removed since it's no longer is present due to the supercharger.

    Short answer:
    Sorry no buttons.

    Good amount of interest at $24k so I'd like to stay in this price range. I realize I won't ever get back "restoring" the car but either way i think this is a fair price.

    know how that feels... everyone's ready to buy via e-mail or phone... until they aren't.

    Exactly. The biggest problem seems to be financing right now. Freeing up the money would be great but I don't really mind holding on to the car for a bit longer since it does look awfully good in the garage.
