1997 BMW M3 Description

Hi Ebayers,
I feel like I'm selling one of my children. But need to thin out the herd. Bought in 2014 from the third owner. I've driven her back & forth from Toronto to New Jersey several times. Other wise it's been my weekend toy. Stored in the winter with fuel stabilizer (Stabil). Chevron Techron Fuel system cleaner used every year. Adult owned. Unmolested - never tracked/auto-crossed/abused in any way. Luxury 6 way power seats, AC blows ice cold ("real" cold, not "recharged" recently cold).
Very clean. She pulls strong and hard through the entire rev range. Shifts smooth and handles just as it should.
Good:
- 100% Bone stock except for a custom air intake.
- Very clean engine. Liqui Moly oil, and oil additive changed recently.
- New thermostat (Behr), aluminum thermostat housing, upgraded water pump (metal impellers)
- Clutch fan delete.
- New valve cover gasket
- New Battery.
- Completely rustproofed.
- New Oxygen sensors.- New power steering hoses.
- New Continental DWS Tires with less than 5000 miles.
- Wheels balanced.
- Clutchmaster's lightweight flywheel.
- Glove box door works! No cracks in dash.
- On board computer LED still working.
- Cross bar suspension fortification.
- Alpine alarm/headunit with bluetooth.
Cons:
- Few dings. On trunk, driver's side rear quarter panel and passenger's side front fender.
- Airbag light is on (Diagnosed as clock spring. Including an OEM M3 Steering wheel)
- Usual gremlins in on board computer. (Low beam failure even though they work perfectly)
Includes:
- BMW OEM custom car cover. (she's always been garaged/sheltered)
- Stainless Steel Brake Lines
- H & R Springs (never got around to installing)
- Peake Engine Diagnostic Tool
- Owner's Manual, books (Bentley & Haynes)
- 2 sets of key fobs.
Starts up every time. I wouldn't hesitate to drive her cross country. If you're local, you're welcome to come check her out. But do request cash in hand for test drive..Car is for sale locally so reserve the right to end the auction early should she indeed sell.Good luck and happy bidding!
