Up for sale is my 89' E30 M3 that has seen alot of coverage in the 3+ years I have owned it. It is time for me to move on to something bigger and better. This car is in amazing condition and the pictures will show it. To preface something, I am doing a photoshoot in 2 days so you will have true updated pictures by next week. I will also take and post some video of exhaust note and idle etc
The car was set to be featured in Eurotuner but alas I couldnt get my poop in a group to make it happen(being in South Dakota has its' draw backs) thus it has never been featured and certainly is an attractive offer to any magazine.
The car can also be sold with a set of 17" SSR Formula Mesh wheels like seen in the pictures built to your specs as I have an extra set (this will take a little time)
So, I will sell the car however someone wants it. As you will see it in the new pictures next week, you can drive it anywhere and not rub (over big bumps only) I can lower it or raise it. If you dont like the "stance" thing, I can adjust the camber for you. However you want it. Flux copacitor? Sure, why not!
FYI - The car was painted because when I was gone last year to Denver, it was left outside over night and it got hailed on. The only damage was to the roof and it was very minimal but the insurance gave me a good chunk. So since I bought the car with imperfections(door dings, scratches, some bubbling on the roof etc) and being low takes it's toll on your front end paint, I decided to do a full re-spray and do it the right way. BY A PROFESSIONAL! It turned out awesome.
Car WAS NOT resprayed because of a wreck.
FWIW- I have not lowered the car as much after the paint to preserve the fenders/paint. Dont get me wrong, it is still low!
Pictures:
Here is a link to my photobucket for more: http://s472.photobucket.com/albums/r...M3%20Pictures/
This picture is special. I flew to New York to pick the car up when I bought it and I was picked up at LaGuardia Airport in it. This was literally the first time I had ever seen the car. Before the previous owner even got out acutally

Thanks to everyone for the props. A few more pics from the same show

 

that's a killer car.
nicest i've seen in a long time.
but the other on this board is top notch too.
GLWS.

 

what exhaust is that?

 

It is very nice but I would rather have my wheels, my interior and most important...... My engine!
It is a 3" in to dual 2.25" out Vibrant Muffler I had stainless steel tips welded on. Looks fantastic!
