1997 BMW 3-Series Sport Description

Selling my daily driver BMW because I unfortunately just bought a new car. My wife and I just had our first child and this car is no longer needed. This is a great car, that has never once left me stranded. It is a manual transmission with a 5 speed, very fun to drive. I have had the car for three years, and in that time I have replaced a ton of parts to get the car driving the way I want. The car runs very well. The engine is extremely strong, and pulls hard. The transmission shifts smoothly and all fluids have been replaced with full synthetic oil. This car is fun and in decent shape even with its 20 year age.
The good news, is that over the past three years of ownership, I have replaced:
-All 4 shocks, including upgraded rear shock mounts (mounts are a known issue on these cars)
-Exhaust Manifold
-Secondary Air pump and air pump valve for smog system
-Front Control Arms and bushings
-Fuel filter
-Replaced all burnt out light bulbs, down to the ashtrays
-Engine Crankcase vent (PCV Valve)
-Rear Tail Lights
-Parking Brake Cable
-Valve cover
-Valve cover gasket
-Spark Plugs
-Battery
-Cabin air Filter (twice)
-Up stream 02 sensors
-Front Brake rotors and pads
-Rear brake pads
-hood gas piston
-Every single fluid in the car, down to the differential has been replaced with high quality full synthetic oil
It has a few inexpensive issues to be dealt with:
-The wiper linkage that connects the driver and passenger wiper needs to be replaced. I priced this out at the dealer and it was around 36.00
-The blower motor kicked the bucket. priced them out around 50.00
-Drivers window needs a regulator, bought one but it quickly failed. Motor works. Price around 40.00
-It is in need of new rear tires.
-I am including 2 used tires with the car purchase
-There is a minor seat rip on the upper drivers seat. (See pics)
-Has some surface rust (see pics near trunk and rear wheel wells)
-clear coat is peeling in spots on the roof (see pics)
