Semi-aquatic personification of unstoppable douchery
1997 BMW M3 Sedan Manual
Exterior: Arctic Silver
Interior: Black
Mileage: 207,XXX
Price: $10,500
Location: Orange County, CA

I have owned this car since 2006 and have all of my service records, plus those of the previous owner going back to 2001. This is a solid daily driver that is in nice overall condition. It is mechanically stock aside from Bilstein Sport struts front and rear. Highlights include:

- Rebuilt VANOS unit last year @200k miles
- Rebuilt shift linkage (it's shorter than stock, IIRC using E34 parts)
- Rear tires with 90%+ tread (just replaced in August 2019), fronts are ~70%
- Staggered DSII wheels were reconditioned 30k miles ago, with no significant chips or rash since
- Black Alcantara headliner with matching pillars
- Paint is ceramic coated with Gyeon Q2 Mohs
- All original paint and all body panels have matching VIN stickers.
- Fully functional 18-button OBC with no dead pixels
- No accidents under my care and the Carfax was clean when I bought it

Everybody who has been in this car has been surprised by its age/mileage given the condition. But in the interest of disclosure, if I were to keep the car long term, I would take care of the following things:

- Coolant temp sensor, which gives a false low coolant warning when the car is shut off (the car does not consume any coolant)
- Repaint front bumper and maybe the hood due to rock chips
- Airbag light is on (issue is with passenger side)
- Leather on the driver's seat bolster is starting to show more wear than I'd like

That said, those are minor things that don't affect the car in day-to-day use. You could buy it and do nothing, and drive it everyday with no problem.

I'd be happy to provide more pictures or information upon request.
