Hello everyone,

Below is my farewell to my wonderful M3 who has brought much joy and fun to my life over the last couple months. I put it here as a one of a kind machine, with extreme thoughtfulness put into mods, and all loose ends tied up. Alot of blood, sweat, and tears in this car. Whoever does get possession of this car will be very happy with it, and enjoy it more then I can. New lifestyle forces new car (4 door) and different priorities - so it has been garaged/sitting. It is time to pass it on to someone who will enjoy it as much as I once had the time to do. Car is fully paid for and I am not in a financial position where i need to sell it – clean title in hand. It is garaged and not taking up space.

Please do not clutter the thread with comments on the price, or asking for part outs. This thread is for discussion and question between buyer and seller, please respect it.
