Im a newbie... I sell Suabru's for a living and was driving a 2004 WRX. The car was nice , pretty quick..but Torque was was rather lacking. So when a 1997 Estoril blue M3 came in I had my eye on it. the car sat on the lot for 3 mos..I decided to have some fun (need a new autocross car) with 125K on the clock it is in great shape. The car has a Hamman Exhaust and has been lowered. The springs are of unknown origin , but they are powdercoated green (any ideas??)
So 3hrs after getting the car (I basically stole it price wise) I paid the US equivalent of $14,000 for the car with 75,000 miles on it. In anycase the waterpump went , drove the fan into the rad. All said and done my company shelled out $1000 and had the car fixed at our BMW dealership. I have removed the baffels in the air box , Im working on an air intake for the car and probably will get some better springs for it as well as heavier swaybars. It came with 2 sets of tirs , full service records. I noticed that the front lid spoiler has been slightly damaged (no doubt to the lower stance) I need new center caps for the wheels, interior is perfect, no scratches on the car at all , not a repaint. Looks like it was fairly well taken care of. Im going to swap the tranny mount to the 320i , I have a set of Kuhomo victoracers for autocrossing , my first track day is May 10th. I miss RWD... the WRX is fun ,i read the post a few days back about the M3 vs the WRX.. I would take the M3 as a sports car anyday , the WRX is a snooze in comparison. It's a great car , but just doesn't have the same feel.
