1999 BMW M3

[Scott]

In a move I'll probably regret,  it is time to move my 1999 M3 on.  I bought it in December of 2017 and have only put about 2k on it during that time.  Between a 1 year old, changing jobs, moving, race cars, etc I haven't had the time to enjoy it as much as I hope. On the plus side, it's sale of this will help fund a detached garage at the new house.  It currently has 141k on the odometer.

It has had a ton of maintenance as well as some upgrades done over the past couple of years with the majority of the "E36 things" sorted.  The one interior issue is that the liner for the sunroof has detached, but is black underneath so it's hardly noticeable.  


To be completely transparent, the not so good. The Carfax has a "total loss" listed in 2013, 20k miles ago.  I've communicated back and forth with Carfax over the last year to get an understanding of what happened with little response as the car does not show any signs except the LF fender is a DOT-R replacement.  Underneath everything is straight and the even the radiator support is OEM and shows no sign of ever being removed.  Autocheck does not show any previous damage history.

I purchased the car from DJ in 12/17.  Feel free to ask him about the car.

Also, the price is copy and pasted from another forum.  If someone is seriously interested and ready to pull the trigger, we can have a serious talk about the selling price.

I'm ready to pull the trigger. $1000

But wasn't yours a pile of shit from the start?

Gah that's such a good looking car, but an e36 would mess up my garage pattern. 02, skip e21, e30, skip e36. Looks like I'm required to buy an e46 now.

This is arguably much nicer than Joey's minus the Carfax situation. (sorry Joey, luv u bb)

Not for lack of trying.

It's not "much nicer" mine has a comparable list of parts/maintenance with a clean title. This has nicer paint, but my hood actually lines up properly.

This is a great driver's example. Low maintenance, high fun!

I think my bank would give me funny looks if I tried to get a loan on a 20 year old car lol

After being "sold" several times to out of state buyers who all flaked and never saw the car, it's on Ebay:

Price is very negotiable for someone serious and ready to move on it.

[Scott]

Sold.

[davej]

Sold sold? Or sold "sold"

Hope the former. Congrats!

I have a sizable, non-refundable cash deposit, a signed bill of sale, and I am meeting them at their credit union (they are financing) with the car to sign over the title in person (to the credit union, must be done in person) and leave the car there.
