1998 BMW M3 Sedan Description

Drives like a champ! Steering is tight and precise, motor runs smooth and pulls hard. Under 100,000 miles and has all preventable maintenance taken care of for tens of thousands of fun miles. I liked the way the car handled so much I bought a 97 sedan race car project. This one was too nice to turn into a track car.

Car has been refreshed with new bushings and ball joints throughout including sub-frame, rear trailing arm, new control arms and steering linkage.

New transmission (polyurethane) and motor mounts (stock)

Bilstein struts and shocks less than 10k miles

Short shift kit

Turner aluminum pedals

Cooling system replaced 20k miles ago

Cross drilled rotors

Glass headlights

New door handle seals and windshield cowls

Luxury package

Seats are in good condition, no tears...added lumbar support to drivers seat with inflatable adjustment

Interior is in great shape overall, have original floor mats and M striped head rests...looks slick. There is no sag on the headliner.

Exterior is without any major dents, there are some small door dings, but nothing too big and no creases or down to bare metal scratches.

Almost new Sumitomo rubber all the way around. 245 rear 225 front stagger

Brand New battery Late June 2017


The bad:

Car was in minor accident before I owned it so the front passenger fender does not have matching VIN. Body work looks good to me and my mechanic, color matches perfectly...without reading VIN you could not tell which fender was replaced.

Glove box still has slight sag
