95 M3, perfect for HPDE, TTD, or DD!

** Car is Sold.**

 

I bought this sweet little car to prep for a fun HPDE car... Not to mention it sits perfect right now for TTD !

 

JUST IN TIME FOR THE 2012 SEASON !

 

While searching around and working on getting all the details done to this ride, I was invited to join another guys racing efforts...so, in short, I really have no need for this car now.

 

She is a 1995 BMW M3 5 spd car. Cosmos black with Black manual Vader seats. Exterior does show a few signs of her 16 years of driving fun...nothing major, and most are very surprised with how good she still shines. If you are a serious buyer, I will email plenty of detailed pics to you and walk around the car while holding a cell phone and describe every little detail. I would say exterior is close to an 8...while the interior is more like a 7. no tears in the seat, but driver's seat is showing wear from the getting in and out. All the interior buttons work as well...but the head liner does have a few well placed thumb tacks around the sun-roof. Sun-roof and windows all work...but the driver window will some-times stop and start back down...just have to hit the up button a few times. (I had this same problem on another 3 series, work for 2 years that way. LOL)

She does have a working radio/cd player with an Amp and 4 speakers wired in. Heat and A/C also work perfectly as well. Tires are probably 70% tread too.

 

So, as you can tell, she would make a great, fun everyday driver as well... Best Handling Car I have ever driven too!

 

She already had in place Bilisteen shocks all the way around, AA cat back exhaust, and a K&N cold air intake. She cranks, idles, accelerates, and runs like a true BMW should too.

 

Now, since I was planning on some fun track time with her, i added a few things I thought would come in handy. In the last 3 or 4 months I have had a Mishi-moto Aluminum Radiator put in. (OEM Radiator was fine, and you can have it with purchaase.) Of course, when we swapped out radiators, we added new thermostat, new aluminum t-stat housing, new water pump, new water hoses, and new belts.

 

I have also picked up 4 spare OEM BMW 17x8 wheels. I had 4 used conti slicks mounted to them as well. And, I have a pair of Hawk Racing Pads for the track days.

 

Only think I have left to get done before taking her out for HPDE is switching out the brake fluid to something better suited for track time.

 

I already have a scheduled appointment for her at out well known local BMW shop for them to change out the fluids and basically just go over every little detail under-neath. They are going to make me a list of every thing they would recomend freshening up. I will gladly pass this list onto the buyer.

 

157k on speedo as of today, but I also put around 200 miles on her this week....so that may vary just a little. My son will help me add some pics to this add tomorrow or Sunday. Clear NC title ready to go as well. I am sure I am forgetting something, so feel free to call or text me with any questions.

 

6000. or 5500 and I keep the extra wheels and tires.

Thanks,

Mitch

And I just remembered one of the other things I added... One of the Biggest expenses too! LOL

 

A stage II F-1 clutch kit with a complete lighter flywheel too! This was a 1100 job and I forgot to mention it! LOL

 

My mechanic friend just changed the oil and the belt pulleys and added a new fan clutch this week too.

 

She is absolutely ready to go... I should have some good pics by this weekend too.

working on the pics now. To be honest, I thought I had some saved on this computer, but I have been un-able to locate them. I dropped the car off Monday at my buddy's shop for him to change the oil and go over the car, so I havent had the car with me to take more pics.

 

And, my buddy called last night saying he was going to replace one of the belt tensioners and put go ahead with a new fan clutch as well...since we just re-done the cooling system. Other than those items, he couldnt really find anything that needed attention. I told him to check the rear bushings and stuff today tho.

 

We did put in a new quibo and Rouge Engineering tranny mounts when the clutch was installed too. I would say 3000 miles ago.

 

Car is located in Western NC.

 

Fell free to call or text me with any questions as well. 828-606-2679

I stopped by his shop today and took a few pics. Today was a cloudy over-cast day and it was raining when I drove the car down there...so she is pretty dirty! I will make sure she has a good bath and vaccum before you leave with her tho.

 

And for some reason, I cant figure out how to load pics on this forum... LOL

I think I have answered everyone's questions... but just in case I forgot a few, I will post one of my detailed replys on here.

I hope I have not missed anyone.

 

Here is my reply:

 

After going around the car and really taking notice. There is a place over each rear wheel where someone has rolled the inner-fenders and it chipped a little paint off.

Each door has a little "bump dent" in front of the door handle where it basically looks like someone used their hip to finish shutting the door. (dopey dough)

Right front fender has a little rubb on it... looks like someone judged their distance wrong in a parking space.

Hood has a little "up-dent"... this was all me. I left a screw-driver under the hood when I was cleaning the K&N filter...wind blew the hood shut and BANG...screw-driver dent the hood from under-neath

And of course she has a door ding here and there...I would say 2 per side...mayde even 3 per side. No paint missing...just dumb people in parking lots.

And, there is plenty of those little rock chips alng the nose too.

Other than the usual door dings, nothing really stands out on the exterior. There are about 2 or 3 places I would probably have a paintless dent man fix tho. Just havent gotten around to it.

 

The worse thing about her is the interior. More specifically, The door panels...the leather has big air pockets along the arm rest, and they are both a little floppy. Driver's side is missing the bottom "pocket piece"

. Both sides are missing the little trim piece around the handle...which is probably because the leather has pulled loose so it wont snap back into place propperly. The passenger's side has a sheet metal screw

in the upper rear door panel too...So I am guessing someone before me got tired of it falling down. It works, so I havent touched it.

 

Driver's seat is showing wear too. As usual, the passenger seats looks good. LOL

 

I have to make the pics I took smaller, but I will do so and include them too.

 

She does have halo's and class head lights. That was a nice touch someone before me added.

 

And, she drives PERFECTLY too.... no misses, no rattles, just pure Driving FUN.

 

hope all this info helps. Let me know if you want to look at her in person. She is in Hickory, NC today.

 

Thanks,

Hey guys,

 

I may be able to make it down to CMP next weekend (probably Sunday tho) If anyone wants to see this car in person.

 

I have a couple of vehicles I could drive, so do let me know if you have interest in seeing this one in particular.

And, even tho the M3 is still for sale.

 

I would consider a trade on a spec-e30.

 

still Not going to make any race weekends this season, so the e30 doesnt have to be "perfect"... but I would like one that I could sneak out to a DE class if time allows

 

Thanks
