CAR IS SOLD!!!!!



Hi Everyone!

The time has come to sell my M3. I am looking to consolidate two of my cars into one and the M3 is one of the two cars that will be going.

I purchased this M3 in April of 16' from Chicago and drove the car back to my home in Broomall PA. I have put 1,467 miles on it including the drive back from Chicago (779 miles which were trouble free and enjoyable).

The CarFax report shows that this M3 has never been involved in any accidents and has a clear and clean report. I am owner number 4 however owner's 1 and 2 are reported to be the same family. Owners 1 and 2 are the Windy City BMW CCA members. I am a Del Val CCA member for 19 years.

I am super picky about things being perfect. I have had the front bumper and nose grill as well as rear bumper repainted. I don't like rock chips and scratches. The rear bumper had a 3" scratch that I couldn't get out with paint corrective detailing. The rest of the car is original OEM paint. This M3 has never been in accident and has had no other bodywork done to it.

I have service info from Oct 19, 1996 - July 3, 2000 during some of the first owners time and from the Aug 5, 2015 to present date. I have gas mileage reporting in a manual journal from the first owners to the 3rd owner showing attention to care and consideration.

This is a well-loved and cared for M3 with no stories or excuses. Most of the ownership is under a BMW CCA enthusiast watch. Almost all of the OEM parts are included with this sale. These models are climbing in value and clean, unmolested examples with, no accidents and a clean car fax is becoming almost impossible to find.

Terms of sale:

$500 non-refundable deposit required to take the car off the market.

I would like to do the transaction through a close friend of mines dealership "Automobili" located in Huntingdon Valley PA 19006. I would like to have the sales tax credit available through their dealership to buy my next car. You will be able to finance this vehicle if you chose to do so. There are no additional fees after the sale price except sales tax, registration, title fees and shipping (if you chose to do so).


Payment in cash or certified cashiers check or direct wire into my account.


Car is sitting in my heated and air-conditioned garage, sipping the battery tender. Test drives are welcome with proof of financing or cash in hand. PPI's are welcome as well and willing to take to any shop within a reasonable distance.

I am in no rush or desperate to sell so please I am asking to save my time and yours. I don't need low ball offers. I have set the price pretty close to what I would like to get for the car but I am open to reasonable offers and trades plus cash for Porsche 911's, Cayman's, Maserati's MC Coupes.


Thank your for your time and looking to give this M3 its great new home
